Dear friends and gentle people Sit back and hear a tale About a rider from the dark Who to this earth did sail His, was no sailing vessel To sail amid the seas He strode across the sands of time Doing what he pleased And in the hour of darkness Before pre-dawn of light He travelled far unto this star To teach us of his night He rode in search of meaning His soul was on the wane Across the sands of time he came To show to us his bane He came unto dark ages He prophesied with will And taught us of his country's way To gift to us, pure ill He walked among the pilgrims Who saw his ship and ran But left his image on the walls Once drawn by our cave man He taught us of pollution For he'd not learned to care And did not see the distant Pall of our future there He walked among the living With no life of his own To seek a deeper meaning Though black-heart seeds are sown He'd no consideration For a world he could not trust And raped and pillaged all the land In the name of progress 'must' In putting down the olden world He raised himself much higher Became a god unto the race When he taught us of fire He saw that it was very good The beasts, they gave him praise but it was insufficient to hold him here always So off to find new meaning He sailed his ship away Leaving with us a strength of feeling That he'll come back one day So hear me gentle people Good friends who watch and wait One day soon he will return And we will know our fate. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
