(A lone voice whispers.)
Sometimes
In sight of such mindless violence
In this deep silence
I kneel to pray
In these grey shadows
That peace will
Prevail
One day
In your world
That mountain tops
Worldwide
Will joyously sing with unconstrained laughter
And in defiance
As we
The Watchers
Angels
From the Great Hereafter
Smile
As our Silver Towers
In Heaven
Hum with a sweet medley
Of
Praise Be
Praise Be
For
Sinners below
Will be baptised
In a new sea of Galilee
By a reborn John the Baptist
To be winners
To find true love
Walking freely
Now
In opened forests
Pleading to be plundered
Daydreaming souls
Will no longer need to wander
In frantic visions
Alone
Since purification, not self scarification
Will lead them to divine wonders
To block their pyramids of pain
With
Hope's capstone
Will you
Call to me
When the moon's
High
Past the trees
Hiding the skies
When the Eclipse
Comes
For I can see and sense you
Need that feeling
A loud drumbeat of need
That screams
Pleading
So
Will you open those tired arms
And let me in
So I may with sunlit kisses
Swim in all your inner vestibules
Sanctify all you know
As we dance as one
To a new song
Announced by life-changing fast-moving octaves
As a glorious world
Is built upon the many graves of
The secret slaves
Of an old empire
Of such depravity and corruptible sin
With their rich leaders
Just the seen knaves
Controlled by hidden hands
Of those
Our prayers
Can never save
