The echoes of a dream I dreamt
In a distant past is here at last,
Drowning me fast.
Why are the ripples so old and vast?
Catching up to me, what did I see?
The tower of life,
Or was it death
erected by the sea?
The spawn of the earth was flocking too,
Some went to the top others halted up.
At different levels,
People threw themselves at the waves,
And when they fell in,
They were all dead as sin.
I climbed up to the very top,
Wanting to see all that can be.
Why waste a wicked view
When after all, all and all,
To our death will fall?
To our death we fall...
This foretelling I knew
To be deeper than words,
And true as pain hurts.
Now I am in free flight,
It does not feel right.
No time to think,
I'll be gone in a wink.
In between waking and true sleep,
What I find I treasure and keep.
The tower of wisdom,
The fall to the deep...
In a distant past is here at last,
Drowning me fast.
