Second Sight

I foresee ages of chaos
But my ordeal has yet just started
For these ominous signs
Are bound to plague me
Haunt for centuries to come
My healing incantations
Are destined for failure
My unremitting warnings and threats
Will go unheeded, such is my curse
Why should it be incumbent upon me
To redeem their faults?

You, The one who spurns the past
Are now, But worthy to be last
Thy choices are errors
I shall thus abandon thou
To thy gloomy fate.

I can see the future
In the light of the past
I cannot stop this ineluctable doom
From raining over the world
Alas, this obnoxious portend
Will turn out to be abiding truth.

From time immemorial
Man has taken refuge in oblivion
They've exchanged there future
For the present enjoyment
Nothing will change, History has set
Her implacable march into motion
There will be no escape.

You, The one who spurns the past
Are now, But worthy to be last
Thy choices are errors
I shall thus abandon thou
To thy gloomy fate.
