Severed
(Music: E. Tapia & C. Stucky, Lyrics: E. Tapia)
Incinerated by careless hands, a long standing bridge was burned until nothing remained
Blindsided by the blaze, years of amity were reduced to ash and dust
Too good to be true and that’s a shame
But life keeps moving all the same
As bonds are broken, new ones are forged
The ones not meant to last will be left in the past
Mourn not the loss of those who are poison
The loss is theirs. No one will compare
Once an ally, now a foe
Such a pity, but so it goes
Celebrate the end of what was not to be
Collapsing bonds reinforce those that remain
Moving forward, never looking back
New memories of merriment waiting to be made
Too good to be true and that’s a shame
But life keeps moving all the same
Harmonious times won’t be forgotten
But on the battlefield they’d be slain just the same
There will be moments when a choice must be made
Ties must be severed before the rotting spreads
It’s not always easy but it must be done
No history is worth more than virtue
Disillusion leads to anger and to despair but ends with relief
Celebrate the end of what was not to be
Collapsing bonds reinforce those that remain
Moving forward, never looking back
New memories of merriment waiting to be made
