And so the Stage is prepared for the final curtain call
And all the actors appear to play the role in classic style
But the lights are kept dim so that no one will see
The mighty crack in the wall up there, where the gold is peeling off
And the evil appears.
On pages of old - yellowed and pale -
In between the lines - it's been written
Long since wise men - had realized
- But did not dare - to talk about it
And as the heavens turning dark - out of the darkness flashes a spark
Soon ancient knowledge will be sought - now
That it's showtime, the evil will be fought
Where infinite gain - is growing on
Trees - and glory and might - are lurking
It's secret's preserved - behind closed
Doors - though anyone may - know about it
And as the heavens turning dark - out of the darkness flashes a spark
Soon ancient knowledge will be sought -
Now that it's showtime, the evil'll be fought
Restlessly playing once again - for the here and now
Ignoring that the price is too high -
For some 20 years more - at the golden shore
Endlessly playing hide and seek - with our destiny, we're
Watching but we don't want to see -
Realizing the call - to see the writing on the wall
And so the ancient prescriptions are pulled out of the rotten drawer
Being saved for the day, when their time has come
With their currency at the peak of what
Seems to be the maximum output of the charge
Dancing to the beat of supply and demand
Subsequently offering the simple truth
Being covered for years by hope and illusion.
Go - stop - waiting for the right time to
Give - take - appetizing portions for
Buy - sale - always in time
Will you get the right information in time
It's the sheltering wall of
Ignorance, established by whole generations
To cover the evil that's hiding behind a terrible mental horizon
Setting priorities dictated by the visible here and now
The wall is ubiquitous, providing proper alibis
For those who keep on hiding head in sand
Then again the time is short - the hardships of reality
Got far beyond prognosis of the wise
But fastly man accommodates, supported by a strong belief
In progress and practicability - now come and see!
Oh let yourself fall and enjoy to be ruled by
The magic of short term credits
To finance a bunch of your long term illusions
The farther the goal the shorter the currency
And the stake of the ultimate game will finally approaching infinity
But only due to the anxioms of your own mathematics.
Where infinite gain - is growing on
Trees - and glory and might - are lurking
It's secret's preserved - behind closed
Doors - though anyone may - know about it
And as the heavens turning dark - out of the darkness flashes a spark
Soon ancient knowledge will be sought -
Now that it's showtime, the evil'll be fought
Restlessly playing once again - for the here and now
Ignoring that the price is too high -
For some 20 years more - at the golden shore
Endlessly playing hide and seek - with our destiny, we're
Watching but we don't want to see -
Realizing the call - to see the writing on the wall
Restlessly playing once again - for the here and now
Ignoring that the price is too high - for
Some 20 years more - to enjoy the golden shore
