A Flash of the Lightning: A Tribute to Barry Allen
I run through a frozen world, none can match my speed
Time slows down and cannot ever catch up
A red blur races through your normal world
In a never ending race for justice and peace
Like a crack of a whip, a flash of the lightning
I run through the ticks of a second no time wasted
Light-years become miles and miles become feet
Wind resists but it leaves no challenge
Faster! Faster! I must push on!
My family reaches out for me from the beyond
I must not stop, can't quit now!
To give the world a fighting chance
Finally, here it comes, the ultimate rush!
The pain comes but then it's gone, too slow to keep up
The deed is done, the race has ended
My shell and my ring is all that remains
Through I am gone, my memory survives
The next generation takes up arms
And in one voice, their cry is clear
"From this day forth, The Flash lives again!"
