Sunlight glares off future ruins
Prophets stir in ancient tombs
Spasms come with waking dreams
Dance the dance which twilight brings
The sky splits open, spilling forth light
Hungry millions lunge at their desires
Darkness envelops majesty's crown
A hush falls over capital's ravings
History waits, dagger to wrist
Children gather, waiting on freedom
Animals wake, pulling their chains
Where is the moment, where it will break?
Now the hour is nigh-
Bathe in the rain that will fall from the sky
Matter transformed for the moment of reckoning
Transports us into the aeon that's beckoning
Nations rise-build skyward only to topple
Scrape the skies-touch heaven only to crumble
Matter congeals in kind
The past piles up behind
Join hearts, join souls, join mindsà
(Fragile web of sentient mirrors,
Cleanse your mind and brace your flesh for change!)
