Zeitgeist (I)

 

ZEITGEIST (I)

 

I saw the clouds roll over
Turning inside out
I saw the moon singing
A plaintive lullaby
The time to change has passed now
It's time to stay the same
For the moon no longer sings to me
And the clouds have blown away

Once I was a god
A vain and vengeful wraith
I sat on high
Destroyed the low
A weak and feeble race
But now my time has ended
The new gods cast me down
I must choose between life and death
The immortals time has come

To live as a man
To die as a god
To worship
Or be worshipped

To fight with pain
To suffer old age
Or to be cast into limbo
My name to live on

To live as a man
To die as a god
One of millions
Or a legend to some

The choice
For once
Is clear
