Re: Hint At Noon

Our lives are gone, our senses too
No one will help us, not even you.
Why is it these puzzles are so hard to solve?
When did the puzzlehunt pervert and evolve?
Our brains are all shrivelled, our eyes are all red
Rememb'ring rehashing ev'rything that's been said
No progress is made, only options rejected
Leaving our team morose and dejected

It's not just us, it's others as well
all plunging deeper in a riddled-filled hell
But no depression unites us, we still try to compete
though we've all forgotten who we should beat
Sleep is no refuge, our dreams not our own
When will we leave this surreal infernal zone?
The answer is simple, the answer is clear
But it won't be apparent till April next year.
