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...
