The M8 should have been released on this date!
On eight, oh eight, oh eight.
But it's too late.
For the day that drew near
Is already here.
And this day will pass
Discharging the gas
That was once the faith
For the few who demonstrate
The will to participate
In tireless wait.
For the M8.
This day will conclude
And I will elude
To the sound of the bell
That will awake those who tell
Of the dream that was passed
From one to another
Which started out
As loud as a shout
But ended as mere whisper.
And the host as a great mist arrived
With purpose to carry
The words and hopes
Of those who would wait
And clouded the view
With dazzling specs
To push along
Dreams for the dreamers.
But on this day,
On eight, oh eight, oh eight
The same poisonous breath
That did strike the stillborn M8
Is present in the host.
