The enterprising science heroes
The discovery of the ages
The future wide open
Destiny coming into view
No Messiah was seen to return
Time steadily progressed
Societies rising and falling
Beliefs and theories fading in and out
I saw the future with my very own eyes
It didn't seem significant
That the past stayed out of bounds
We'd be the pride of humanity
The future was ours indeed
Although our own destinies eluded us
And past became more and more incomplete
The scientists seek their knowledge
The prophets see their visions
Businessmen sell their dreams and run
We discover a few parts
Turn them into a big picture
Human pride held high and then time stops
Time took its course
We lived some of the things we had seen
Until we stumbled
Onto the ultimate intervention
Many disappeared, never to be seen again
Some said UFO's
Other thought the start of the New Age
The future has already happened
With the main event still to be planned
So incalculably unexpected
And now they ask "forehead or hand?"
Looking at the future
A premature celebration
A hope with a handle throughout infinity
Patronising statements
Pathetic substitutes
For a lasting love, a nightmare come true
Time stands still when history repeats
Another idol falls but we still do not see
See them falling down...
One turning point determining the future
The battle rages, lingering
Unauthorised occupation
Scream for justice
Before the day of reckoning
No one is without sin but many are innocent
Time stands still when history repeats
Another idol falls but we still do not see
See them falling down...
Unleashed your personal demons
From your favourite nightmares
Who's coming in tonight
The Joker or the Saviour ?
There's rules for bad behaviour
To appease your insatiable appetite
Favoured clichés ride your mindscape
Condemned to recollect without change
I feel the condemnation
Weighing down my soul
Ripping the seams
Of my self-confidence
Groping in the darkness
For something to hold on to
This is all so much more complicated
Than what I was hoping for
Down down down I am falling
Roam-go-home I am stumbling in
No man's land Feel like I'm re-invented
Touch the light Before it's dark again
All I know is what I want
I don't have all the answers
Neither do you
All I know is what I got
I never did much for it anyway
That's amazing grace
All I see sometimes
Is a symbol of death
To which I cling
Trying to grasp its meaning
All is forgiven
As forgiven are all
Never close the door on hope
And don't turn your back on love
This is my testimony
Let go...
