It takes five minutes
to destroy a city
it took 5,000 years
to build.

                          It takes five seconds
                          to gamble away savings
                          it took fifty years
                          to accumulate.

                                                    It takes five years
                                                    to kill a love
                                                    it took five minutes
                                                    to ignite.

                                                                              Now.
                                                                              You tell me:
                                                                              what matters most
                                                                              in this life?
