People, people! Awake, and hear me, a crying seagull. The sky has darkened. I’ll let you near me,- Harken... harken. I am your conscience, a new messiah. Within your mansions, within your temples, I’ll start a fire, and you won’t tremble. Stone walls will quiver, your churches- crumble. Take in my silver and share my visions,-- walk in the rubble of past convictions. Open your cages! People, people,-- your conscience rages with warm affection. See through a peephole self-resurrection. No books could teach you,-- the truth’s inside you! How can I reach you within your dungeons? See me beside you,-- I am your conscience! See me beside you,-- I am so little The truth's inside you, People, people... |

However little it means: you, I think out of all of us here, are the best. "Some men see things as they are and say why. |

GREAT job, Master... another job that's very well done. Keep them coming. --Marie I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am. |
