All laws have been rewritten br And reinforced, br Floating cities are sunken br And forever lost, br Firebombs rained from heaven br And Cupid cried its thousandth tear. br Eras of error have come and gone, br And everyone got their own year. br br Every Jack got his jacket, br Every dog had its day, br Every criminal got its medal br And every hero had to pay. br The blackboard has been erased br And rewritten a thousand times, br All the ink has been spent br Writing modern nursery rhymes. br br Everything has been spent, br Everything is worn, br Every night has passed, br Everything is gone. br No one remains and br There is no dawning of a new day. br After all this, the stars will still hang br And still will have nothing to say.br br K.
