2001


We are all left alone on this island
Learning to fend for ourselves
Left with our reflections

We wash up on the shore
Everyone is smaller than us
We are tied up on the beach

We squander every opportunity
Fall back on the common
Waging war as a place of refuge

Waves as big as dinosaurs
Wash away the shorelines
Taking dreams away

Centuries pass
We descend from the mountains
Huddled into reclaim the land

Someone finds the recipe for Ice 9
Declares a totalitarian state
Finds Soma in the desert

To the center of the earth
Where there is a paradise
Crystalline

We must form a fellowship
Return the ring to its origin
And get back to the responsibility of mutual respect

I enter the room a young man
Fresh from space
I age, I die, I am reborn.
