Drinking Time (contest)

We're drinking time
everyday of our lives
you can see it in my face
I can see it in your eyes

that horrible knowledge
only experience can bring
the cold settles inside
and leaves a painful sting

We're drinking time
and learning of the unknown
Seeing kingdoms rise and fall
seeing kings get overthrown

We've seen the wars between nations
the countless children that have died
The weapons being swung
as the victims tried to hide

We're drinking time
We've seen man's evil deeds
how he pleases only himself
and watches as everyone else bleeds

Now it's our time to go
the last bit of blood has been shed
there's nothing left we can do
for the darkness has spread
