15 Min Flame

The reaper's kneeling
At your field taking in what you've sown
Can't help feeling apprehension
No point in waiting
For a rating for what you have grown
Look for liquid consolation
If I act accordingly
Will it save my humanity
You're either you or a loyalty disowned
Well, excuse me

Who was it who wanted every sec of
The fifteen minute flame of fame
A name to last for all eternity
Who was it who wanted
Ingratiation beyond definitions
When love alone is enough to set you free

No escaping though
You're running, you cannot find home
Drowning in your desperation
Conviction seems to follow
Accusations alone
No place here for an easy redemption
If I lack your tears of joy
Please, forgive my heartless ploy
Said the fool to his majesty dethroned
Now, excuse me

Who was it who wanted every sec
Of the fifteen minute flame
To name a love to last through
All your infamy
Who was it who wanted
Ingratiation in their definitions
When name alone can jail eternally

Who was it who wanted
Every sec of the flame

Who was it who wanted every sec of
The fifteen minute flame of fame
A name to last for all eternity
Who was it who wanted
Ingratiation beyond definitions
When love alone is enough to set you free
