Before the Deluge |
Some of them were dreamers |
And some of them were fools |
Who were making plans and thinking of the future |
With the energy of the innocent |
They were gathering the tools |
They would need to make their journey back to nature |
While the sand slipped through the opening |
And their hands reached for the golden ring |
With their hearts they turned to each other’s heart for refuge |
In the troubled years that came before the deluge |
Some of them knew pleasure |
And some of them knew pain |
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered |
And on the brave and crazy wings of youth |
They went flying around in the rain |
And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered |
And in the end they traded their tired wings |
For the resignation that living brings |
And exchanged love’s bright and fragile glow |
For the glitter and the rouge |
And in the moment they were swept before the deluge |
Now let the music keep our spirits high |
And let the buildings keep our children dry |
Let creation reveal it’s secrets by and by |
By and by… |
When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky |
Some of them were angry |
At the way the earth was abused |
By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power |
And they struggled to protect her from them |
Only to be confused |
By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour |
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived |
In the naked dawn only a few survived |
And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge |
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge |
Now let the music keep our spirits high |
And let the buildings keep our children dry |
Let creation reveal it’s secrets by and by |
By and by… |
When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky |
