lyrics

When I was young,
I saw a piece torn out of the sky
It burned with a significance
That was lost on a young man’s eyes

I’d spend my days in dreams of deepest blue
Drifting on an eiderdown summer stream.

But oh, the colors bleed away
As all my friends and fortunes
Slowly turn to greener pastures

And oh, in the beginning
Everything started with a word.

I find my soul longs to wander far from this body,
Instead of singing something for this new and savage country.
None of us are free, none of us even dream of freedom
As we watch the world around us
Crushed by the degradation of progress.

And oh, each chain of flowers falls to dust
“Even in laughter, the heart is full of sorrow”
And oh, in the beginning was the darkness
Then the water, then the wailing.

Now who is like this beast of steel?
Watch as the Age of Aquarius dies screaming
Now who is like our beast of steel?
Who is like this beast of steel?

It’s not an absence of you,
It’s a deprivation.
Time levels all ambition,
And desire kills you where you stand

When I was young, I saw a piece torn out of the sky
I’m waiting to beat this sword into a plow.

Oh, in the beginning was the darkness
Oh, in the beginning, everything started with a word.
