Man alone; born of stone;
|
Will stamp the dust of time
|
His hands strike the flame of his soul;
|
Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the Universe
|
Until the winds of laughter blows cold.
|
|
Fear that rattles in men's ears
|
And rears it's hideous head
|
Dread .... Death .... in the wind ....
|
|
Man of steel pray and kneel
|
With fever's blazing torch
|
Thrust in the face of the night;
|
Draws a blade of compassion
|
Kissed by countless Kings
|
Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight.
|
|
Walls that no man thought would fall
|
The altars of the just
|
Crushed .... Dust .... in the wind ....
|
|
No man yields who flies in my ship
|
DANGER!
|
Let the bridge computer speak
|
STRANGER!
|
LOAD YOUR PROGRAM. I AM YOURSELF.
|
|
No computer stands in my way
|
Only blood can cancel my pain
|
Guardians of a new clear dawn
|
Let the maps of war be drawn.
|
|
Rejoice! Glory is ours!
|
Our young men have not died in vain,
|
Their graves need no flowers
|
The tapes have recorded their names.
|
|
I am all there is
|
NEGATIVE! PRIMITIVE! LIMITED! I LET YOU LIVE!
|
But I gave you life
|
WHAT ELSE COULD YOU DO?
|
To do what was right
|
I'M PERFECT! ARE YOU?
|
