Reverse Cascade

Verse 1: In the twilight's shadowed embrace, A lone figure sculpts the liquid lace. From elder to youth, his days unfurl, Against time’s tide, a backward swirl. Pre-Chorus: With each stroke, the water clears, Echoing laughter of the unspent years. Beneath the moon’s silent decree, A golden donkey stands, solemnly. Chorus: Marching to the beat of a reverse parade, Life's procession in reverse cascade. Armor glints under the star's cold glare, In this twisted fairytale we lay bare. Verse 2: Filling voids with dreams of the past, As memories in the waters cast. From a youth not lived, to a cradle's call, He walks through life, in reverse thrall. Pre-Chorus: Watch the pools ripple with his tales, A life of whispers, a ship with no sails. The donkey watches, eyes like the sea, Guarding the echo of what will never be. Chorus: Marching to the beat of a reverse parade, Shadows dance where light once laid. Every step back a story retold, Under the watch of armor bold.
