I'm gonna go ahead and pull all the stops here; This is a forecast, a prophecy, an epiphany, a psalm, a plea for truth, peace, love, freedom and understanding. If such things are regarded unfashionable, then I am proud to be out of time.
lyrics
Wandering sole on a casual aisle between the myths and the reason
How to be sure it is not ignored while words can reign only when heard and well received?
Well at the hands for anyone to perceive
Shunned by the thinkers who set out to deceive
Few can attest it as the notice can set them free
Good where the deeds by the shallow plot
Strange how they knew what I wanted
Down at the foot of the giant hill, I knew up there that I would find it, though not for free
Well at the hands for anyone to perceive
Shunned by believers who set out to deceive
Few can attest it as the notice can set them free
When reason precede the choice of conviction
When people will unify on terms of veritas
When paths are joined instead of dividing
When guards and frontiers dissolve in the light
Then shall we reach for the height
When deeds that urge a free soul to sacrify will never more be perceived as an option
When numbers won't rule and delusion won't advocate
When noone cares for the drift to be mastering
Then shall we set to be free
When words are just words and assault not an answer
When force and compulsion won't make any difference
When all can concieve of all things that can be
When all can be certain of how precious our life
When everyone work their wits
When apt misconceptions will cease to be taught
When noone ever will impose their belief
When everyone can steer clear from the fiction
When creeds that freedom is conditioned are gone
Then all can see what applies to all others falls back upon us, and thus we must care for our veritas
