twenty-four candles on

your cake

(blue cake, of course)

.

one for the master,

one for the dame

one for luke castellan

who went insane

.

another for a girl

and fifth, see you later

another for silena

a lover or a traitor?

.

the next one is a guy

who was so sickeningly sweet

eighth for charles beckendorf

ninth for winning through defeat

.

guess who this one is?

and another, an eye for an eye

a dozen for ethan nakamura

who did not deserve to die

.

after that, one for zoë

another for her heart

a last one to mark her place

among the stars

.

place another for bianca

oh look, this one makes seventeen

a hero after everything

eighteen, barely seen

.

and this candle shines

like bob's eyes, so bright

place one for his dark life

another for his light

.

twenty-two, look at all the deaths

twenty-three, are you not a hero?

twenty-four, don't decide yet

but you're walking right back to zero

.

twenty-four candles on your cake

all remind you you were too late
