Galactic Psalm

 

Children's laughter now lie fallen

frozen on the ground

sentiment and reason

lost or drugged or bound

cynic insincerity

in everything you hear

in everything you hope

in all you hold as dear

 

Currents of the fear of dying

twist to hidden chains

no freedom, smiles or laughter

no harmony remains

the light has now been strangled

by the merchants of the blight

morrow has no meaning

in this long, this heartless night

 

We agonize and wonder why

this curse is happening

is this the end, are we to die

what else would madness bring

no honor for the honest man

no justice for the fool

no thought dream for the lover

when fear and chaos rule

 

But far away an eye still sees

what has become of life

the anguish and the lies

the cruelty and strife

it sees, but doesn't worry now

that help is on its way

a true Galactic morning

stirring into day

 

For spirits fight the madness

with a wisdom true and deep

to seek and find and break these chains

enslaving us in sleep

with blazing lights of honesty

we crystallize all fear

to drops of light, exploding

leaving life, the Clear
