Do you have the audacity to doubt my veracity and insinuate that i prevaricate?

A minute…an hour.
A chocolate…a flower.
A day…a week,
To find what we seek.

Only one thing stands in our way;
A merciless beast who comes day by day.
Trees crush, petals die;
All for the beast named time.

A minute…an hour.
A chocolate…a flower.
A day…a week,
To find what we seek.

We cannot win,
For time is a hidden sin.
It takes us, it beats us.
It takes us, it eats us.

A minute…an hour.
A chocolate…a flower.
A day…a week,
To find what we seek.
