Once Upon a Time...

LETRA

Once Upon a Time...

Once upon a time
In a realm so far away from here
There lived a people
who thought that peace was the true valour

Everyone was equal to the others
there were neither Kings nor Queens
everywhere only freedom and wealth
but nobody was truly happy there

And how did they finish?
Where is their glorious empire?
The answer is under your sight
only ashes and ruins...

They had everything
everyone was free to live the way he choose
as a matter of fact
they were the masters of their raped earth

Everywhere they built up buildings
with a raw grey material we know no more
and the flew through the skies
inside huge metal things like birds

And silence was banished by their realm
nobody raises the head to the stars
only matter they worshiped
forgetting they were only grain of sand

And soon they lost their souls
their god was called "Technology"
at its altar they sacrificed
the few left Noble Souls

And how did they finish?
Where is their glorious empire?
The answer is under your sight
only ashes and ruins...

In the time of a micron
that glorious empire fell down to oblivion
annihilated by Nature
the Cosmic Justice just spit on their treasures

And finally there was silence
stars began to shine in the sky
the altars were swept away
and the Noble Souls were back again

They had everything
everyone was free to live the way he choose
as a matter of fact
they were the masters of their raped earth

Everywhere they built up buildings
with a raw grey material we know no more
and the flew through the skies
inside huge metal things like birds

I know it is sad
I know it may seem wrong
but we should not forget ever
that we are not the only ones

And peace is not a God
nor it is a progress
the Whole is everything
and war is part of it

Only now I understand
the meaning of this tale
only now that I see
that something is beyond the veil

How stupid they were
so imprisoned in their "Technology"
what a wonderful world
araised after they were no more
