Thoughts Inspired by Cassiopaea, Signs of the Times, and Pink Floyd
Humans have chosen - to skate the thin ice
Of their outer lives - dragging behind lies
Silent reproaches - billion tear-stained eyes
Glist’ning on the ice - echo of the cries
Victim of the lies resonates and dies
Encasing these lives in a heart that cries
Danger abounds now, engulfs everything
Darkness descends now from pigs on the wing
Two paths will open, a choice to be made
Which one is chosen, determines the blade
Masks will be stripped now, for those who will try
Then their minds will know, how the heat won’t fry
Death and destruction, horrors and bloodshed
Slaughters unending bring feelings of dread
Villains, wickedness, treachery and pain
Come to innocents again and again
War and disaster, famine and disease
Delivered by those these seem so to please
Friends if you’re filled with dark forebodings too
As thoughts turn about dark side of the moon
And if the dam breaks many years too soon
What work you’ve all done will still be a boon
Even if the dam will break just in time
Will we be flooded with deluge of crime?
Pathologicals - kill babes and mothers
Go on destroying - frail lives of others
Efforts have been made - informing the prey
Of the predators - among us that fray
Secret history - the distant lost world
High strangeness abounds - stalking us, we’re hurled
Strange days upon us, the bone chilling cold
Hope we’ll burn this dross encrusting the gold
With all of the ice, things still heating up
We must keep questing for that long lost "cup"
Flutt’ring behind us, our possible pasts
No conscious effort can ever be lost
Warning to any who’re still in command
Of poss’ble futures... must now understand
In der’lict sidings the poppies entwine
While cattle trucks wait yet for the next time
You remember ME? How we used to BE?
Do you think we should... Be a Unity?
The cold religious took them in hand
Taught how to do good, but told to do bad
We wait for a time that’s coming for sure
A time when children will be killed no more!
Flutt’ring behind you your possible pasts
Some wild-eyed crazy, some frightened and lost
Warning to any who’re still in command
Of poss’ble futures... must now understand
In der’lict sidings the poppies entwine
While cattle trucks wait still for the next time
You remember I? How you used to lie?
Do you think we could... be different inclined?
Tongue tied, terrified, taught just how to pray
Now their emotions, as cold as the clay
And strung out behind - the banners and flags
Of possible pasts - in tatters and rags
Forget your false "i’s", forget all your lies
Do you think they could... have ever survived?
To learn and to teach, make Life worth living
Instead of to take, we can start giving
But none is willing, none of them bothers
Sunk in the game of snuffing out others
Right now part of us - up in level five
Flying in the sky - past and future lives
Cold eyes exploring, the wolves in their packs
See them enjoying put knives in those backs
Desperate, forgotten, dismissed out of hand
Continued destruction the children of man
Thaw your emotions and sharpen your mind
No more following the band of the blind
Seeking out Knowledge, we find our True Love
Receiving at last the signs from above
Taking possession of the lessons learned
Leaving behind us the dross that we burned
Put off the old man, move into the new
Completing lessons, we’re some of the few
Learning one suffers again and again
Destroy your buffers get fuel from the pain
Joining together the true and the straight
We can pass through it, that narrowest gate
New rules for the game, the way of the fool
Changing the side for... what we’ll be a tool
With this simple rule if we’re brave to choose
We fools lose to win - those who "win" will lose
No longer will we; see the up as down
We’ll reach the harvest and reap what we’ve sown
Those without conscience - nasty deeds were done
Let us remember that karma spares none
For those who gave all to be in command
Get the karmic debts passed on from the "damned"
But for those who strove to try and to serve
Will participate, make spiral the curve
In rear view mirror the sun’s going down
Sinking beneath it - the road left behind
Think all the good things that have been undone
We will still suffer... those premonitions
We will still confirm all our suspicions
Suspicions of that... holocaust to come
You remember ME? How we used to BE?
Do you think we’ll be together fin’lly?
Like the moment how - click clock - their brains lock
The birds take flight now, soar with their own flock
As the windshield melts, tears evaporate
We merge at last now destiny and fate
The final struggle; ends in victory
Or if it does not; what may there still be?
The sun’s in the east though the day is done
Comet clusters come, approach has begun
Two suns in sunset seems strangest to some
Could it really be - human race is run?
