A Word To The Wise
Lyricist:Stephen Ramsay, Martin Simon Walkyier
From far outside it, earth's fragile atmosphere 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 realize 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 destruction The caretaker of creation placed a fail safe At the heart of his construction
Technologies intended as man's slaves mutated Now they are his masters The trust, they place in progress only serves to bring The last days nearer, faster
He is truth, the word to the wise Gods children are so young They cannot realize the difference between extinction And life, is now only a matter of time Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
I can see the oceans, stagnant and overflowing Filled with man made waste, discharged From my cosmic auditorium, I view this crematorium That is your world at large
My ears hear the wailing 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 before your very eyes Until they swallow up the land If your polar ice caps melt The cards are dealt and you have died by your own hand
I will 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, the word to the wise Gods children are so young They cannot realize 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
