Contemporary Schemes - Lyrics

Toying with contemporary schemes that undermine our state of mind

Utopian Ideals came and went; are they hiding?


Steadily steering the wheel into the dark from which all lives emerge as afterglow

Running through time as it steals away from my grasping hands, slow moving sands.

Finding a way through the fray; pondering the role that it plays


Breathing with every passing hour counteracting apathy.

Exhausting every line of thought: which is right, which is better?


Standpoints changing in life: daily pictures parade, the news mutates, confusing me

To stand on the edge of the knife will cut the gordian knot which ties me down. 

Heavens clearing at dawn, throughout the sky and beyond.       


Leaving the crisis behind is soothing me

Leaving the dark to the blind and ashes to the sea

 

Living through this everlasting day as time repeats endlessly

Revolving as the winds turn us round, turn us all about.
