Farewell madame

Farewell madame, farewell to thee,
Farewell madame, for soon you'll see

That nothing great can forever last,
Nothing fine can make it past

This test of time we know so great,
This test of neverending fate.

One day you'll understand all these things,
these things of sorrow, more powerful than kings.

For what strength do men truly have?
What power is ours, what is in our hands?

If we're honest we truly have none,
The earth will keep turning, the Earth won't be done.

Long before we're born, long before we're due,
Our fate has been sealed, our lives are drew.

There's nothing we can change, and why should there be?
The world was ruined, long before you and me.

It will continue to be so, long after we're gone,
So why would it matter, who'd care what we'd done?

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter what we do.
In the grand scheme of things, I could be you.

The world doesn't care about you or me.
It doesn't care about what comes to be.

Nothing good can happen to a place like this,
This world is rotted, and it's people by bliss.

Humanity thinks they can control what they can't,
They don't like to believe that their power is spent .

But alas it is true, they have no strength.
If they did the world would be a better place.

So farewell madame, but please don't be sad.
You're emotions don't matter, the world has gone mad.
