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...
