A Word to the Wise
- From far outside Earth's fragile atmoshpere
it's clearly apparent that the end is near, the sleeper wakens and
removes his golden casque, vital signs return to his quiescent craft.
- He is truth - a word to the wise
- Gods children are so young they cannot realise,
- the difference between extinction and life
is now only a matter of time.
- In the beginning was the knowledge he had
carried far across the great unknown.
- Millenia have passed since he walked on
the savannah where the seeds of life were sown.
- Yet even deep in slumber he could hear his
children blunder to destrucion,
- the caretaker of creation placed a fail-safe
at the heart of his construction.
- Technologies intended as mans slaves mutated
now they are his masters,
- the trust they place in progress only serves
to bring the last days nearer faster.
- I can see the oceans stagnent and overflowing
billed with man made waste discharged,
- from my cosmic auditorium that is your world
at large.
- My ears hear the wailling of your children
in a future close at hand,
- just as it was before - so it may be again
(if you don't try to understand)...
- The seas will rise befory your very eyes
until they swallow up the land.
- If your polar ice caps melt the cards are
dealt and you've died by your own hands.
- I'll never help you while you still persist
in acting like you're blameless,
- I would rather let your species die forgotten
so your folly remains nameless.
- He is truth - a word to the wise, Gods children
are so young they cannot realise,
- the difference between extinction and life
is now only a matter of time.
- When to mischief mortals bend their will,
- how quick they find the instruments of ill.
