Analysis of Flame and Time
Burning, Burning,
Tick,Tock,Tick,
Watch it burn,
watch it fade,
Flame of wisdom,
flame of age,
Tme to move on,
Flame of power,
Flame of pride,
Burning brightly in my minds eye,
Time to be extinguished,
Flame of honor,
Flame of courage,
Burning in my soul,
Time for tameness,
humbleness,
and peace.
