The Blow of the Century

Years pass me by as the wind blows,
Meanwhile, circumstances change _
Participate, learn and grow more
Mature. You’d still get the blows.

The Blow of the Century

I live in the same town,
Where he lived.
I visit the same places,
Than he did.

I know the same surroundings,
Got the same obsession.
Seems like the blow of the century
Hit hard upon me…

When I used to take it all
For granted.
When truth appeared to me
So evident.

Could you tell me where those
Lazy days have gone ?
It seems the blow of the century
Hit hard upon me…


I went to the same clubs
Where he went.
I tried to get as drunk
As he had been.

Guess my attempts can’t level
With the state he was in.
The blow of the century
Hit hard upon me…

Years went by and I seemed to
Be satisfied.
With nothing but the knowledge of
My innocence.

Rude moments I’ve avoided
On time.
Till the blow of the century
Hit hard upon me…

Years pass me by as the wind blows,
Meanwhile, circumstances change _
Participate, learn and grow more
Mature. You’d still get the blows.

The Blow of the Century
