Skyclad - A Word To The Wise слова песни
From far outsideEarth`s fragile atmosphereIt`s clearly apparent that the end is nearThe sleeper wakens and removesHis golden casqueVital signs return to his quiescent craft.He is truth - a word to the wiseGods children are so youngThey cannot realiseThe difference between extinctionAnd life is now only a matter of time.In the beginning was the knowledgeHe had carried far acrossThe great unknownMillenia have passed since he walkedOn the savannah where the seedsOf life were sown.Yet even deep in slumber he could hearHis children blunder to destructionThe caretaker of creation placed a fail-safeAt the heart of his construction.Technologies intendedAs mans slaves mutatedNow they are his mastersThe trust they place in progressOnly serves to bringThe last days nearer faster.He is truth - a word to the wiseGods children are so youngThey cannot realiseThe difference between extinctionAnd life is now only a matter of time.I can see the oceansStagnent and overflowingFilled with man made waste dischargedFrom my cosmic auditoriumI view this crematoriumThat is your world at largeMy ears hear the wailing of your childrenIn a future close at handJust as it was before - so it may be again(If you don`t try to understand)...The seas will rise before your very eyesUntil they swallow up the landIf your polar ice caps meltThe cards are dealtAnd you have died by your own handsI will never help you while you still persistIn acting like you`re blamelessI would rather let your species die forgottenSo your folly remains nameless.He is truth - a word to the wiseGods children are so youngThey cannot realiseThe difference between extinctionAnd life is now only a matter of time."When to mischief mortals bend their willHow quick they find the instruments of ill."
