lyrics

A HYMN FOR HUMANITY. Colours rich and bright comprise the warp and weft of the weave. Fingers pick away, demanding monochrome – lunacy! Year by year our amity falls prey to enmity. Love, once proud, has been sold out, stripped down and sold off. Where I see rainbows, they see only mud. Killing and dying for lies liars spoke – oh, what a weird and wild wonderful world we wander, years ahead of our time, dying. And yet to find any answer from the skies, divine or otherwise, blind and deaf and dumb we wait. Cultures clash like cymbals of a toy monkey – irony. Fingers on red buttons pray to air, awaiting their epiphanies. Fearing fear, our amity falls prey to apathy. We worship cold industry, sold out and laid off. God and Satan are Punch and Judy: badly-stitched puppets on a sly human hand – and wonders all we waste, wilfully waging these wars, one step ahead of our crimes, denying. And yet to find any answer from the land, from woman or man, why… to let our world die is just insane. Please don’t let our efforts be in vain. Blind and deaf and dumb and brought undone, our race is thrown and lost. Why are we whoring our planet to these captains of sick industry? Whoring our planet to these captains of sick industry – heresy! To let all hope die is just insane. Please don’t let our efforts be in vain…
