Ice Age

We are living in the ice age
A blizzard of blind rage
Remembering the spring
Beneath these frozen years
Buried by the snowstorm
With no one to keep warm
We disappear into the ice age
Enshrouded in our fears
Drifting alone
Far from home
Stagger on through the day
Into dismay
Innocence is so hard to recall
But how can you care when you're numb from despair?
And when all's said & done
What have we become
Our hearts deaf & dumb
Look beyond these four walls
Your conscience calls
Look into the eyes of those you despise
Beware the reflection
The common connection
That cries
Memories of green
Summers I've seen
We all seemed to change somehow
The wide eyes of youth are now a dream
Palaces of gold
Barren & cold
I long for my distant home
'Cause now I'm just wandering alone
Proud unbeliever
Lifetime achiever
Where willl you go now
That you have need of hope?
Naked in the snowstorm
Who willl keep the lost warm?
Leave 'em dying in the ice age
Not everyone can cope
Lost inside
Bit I can't hide
Defend your humanity
Love isn't vanity & pride
Memories of light
Stunning heights
Before we were swept away
By the scurry & the strife of modern life
So hold on to what's real
If we learn how to heal
We'll crack the ice
Humanity
Trying to preserve sanity
Staring at a blank wall
White on white
Nothing there to see
Rescue me
Can't you hear me begging you to set me free?
To defrost the treasure I have lost
So dear was the cost
Just turn away from your greed
And what you need
Look into the eyes of those you despise
Embrace the reflection
The common connection
And rise
Crushed by the ice storm
The dawn takes a new form
A bitter moon is rising
The new world has been born
Reverie
Feel the waking dream
Catastrophe
Clawing at the edges
I must be blind, deaf & dumb
I can't see a way to stop the setting of the sun
Humanity
Trying to preserve sanity
Staring at a blank wall
White on white
Nothing there to see
Here I sit
Staring out My window
Life in the ice age
A mystery to me
Feeling old,& my blood's running cold
Scarier still my very will to be
May not hold...
