The Last Man
09:14
|

|
He stood alone on the road from Istakhr.
Past beliefs, now an illusion.
The lonely road, toward s a guiding star.
To the land of dissolution.
The man in rags in the park, on memories fields.
He softly spoke, I was once you.
The last man, without a dream.
Then he came, upon a fortress of stone.
A place of grace, and absolution.
Halls that echoed to the distant call.
Of the priest and the magician.
He heard the call to arms, so loud and clear.
He then turned his channel remote.
To the favourite show, of the weak.
Behind the mirror’s depthless lens.
Lies the void and distant world.
Of an existential threat.
There lies, the lost bewildered herd.
They bear the tragedy without strain.
The comfort of conformities pain.
What Orpheus once kept eternal.
Now erased for a greater gain.
The man in rags in the park, near memories fields.
His sign that read, I was once yours.
The last man, to be revealed.
The last man, to walk this cold lonely beech.

Rapture
05:35
|

|
And a message in the sand.
To all it may concern.
This was their final stand.
And before the words began to bleed.
Their faces in rapture.
Viewed that hallowed scene.
They saw the earth.
The hills and trees.
A last glimpse, of rivers flowing to the sea.
And the blackness of the night.
A vessel to hold.
Their memories of light.
They saw the earth.
The hills and trees.
A last glimpse, of rivers flowing to the sea.
They saw the earth.
They felt the heat.
Plums of light, to warm a frozen scene.
Now the host tells them how to follow the line.
How to monocrop, their errant plight.
And the joker turns, to take his final bow.
His last request now disavowed.
As they turn their back to muse.
To songs once heard.
Now sacrificial tunes.
And the loves that they once knew.
Now blinded by.
Their new gods of truth.
They saw the earth.
The hills and trees.
A last glimpse, of rivers flowing to the sea.
They saw the earth.
They felt the heat.
Plums of light, to warm a frozen sea.

Carousel of Light
05:29
|
|||
|
We were becalmed, while floating in the doldrums
On a day, where they closed the world to freedoms thought
But as the Medicine man approaches
On wings of fire
With gifts to offer
He opens doors that were closed
On his carousel of light
They had a dream, where a star filled midday sky appeared
The windmill turned, throwing starlight out across the earth
But as the Medicine man approaches
Selling strange desires
His dreams of nonlocality
He opens doors to their deepest thought
The collector of lost rhymes
All aboard, their world begins to turn
Caught between the lightning and the earth
Music plays as his word drift, through the air
Now they queue for miles, to ride his carousel

Sleepwalking
05:50
|
|||
|
At the first rays of morning.
The dawn light filters in.
Riding the wave, to the edge.
Of this narcoleptic pit.
To get a grip of the morning.
The busy day to begin.
Coffee willpower, lethargy soaring.
Toward a freeway grid.
Empty desk, status cancelled.
For private thoughts revealed.
Faces of stone, masked from honour.
Present their empty wears.
Sleepwalking, on paths of code.
Towards the messiah’s creed.
Power to the new men of straw.
As the sleepwalking begins.
Sleepwalking
As the evening drifts to dusk.
A mounting fear persists.
Tragic fates, to befall them all.
It’s the end of this normal day.
To get a grip of the night-time.
Uneasy dreams begin.
Time to float, from the shadows.
Toward the dreamer’s end
Sleepwalking
