Haunted by words unsaid hope and fear unite The future is not written All but hidden in plain sight Innocence welcomes winds of change The calm before the storm Reform, recourse, reaction Everywhere Uniform New threat New law New normal What's done now shall it remain? Digital connection Parroted refrain Solutions from the experts Make haste, emergency! Only time can answer... For the love of philanthropy Close Disclose We distance All for our safety Report Resort to witness The price? Sweet liberty Oh! Mighty saviour on high Prophetic Algorithmic eye Who will prosper Who will perish Freedom to live or die Can it be that all around us Greed and power tighten grip? The band played on Lest we forget Down with the unsinkable ship Mother earth how she is plundered Controlled consumption now ensues Vested interest Turn a profit Are you tempted to abuse? Future still remains uncertain So much joy in every day Rite of passage Right of movement Withdraw Stay home Stay Stronger now For there are answers To the questions you may seek The truth It won't come easy Too weak Too meek To speak words of reason Oh so grateful For the seeds lovingly sown We know not what lies before us Though examples clearly shown Finding purpose in a passion Create intention with an art We all stand in time together And we each will play our part

Dystopia's Dawn
Haunted by words unsaid hope and fear unite The future is not written All but hidden in plain sight Innocence welcomes winds of change The calm before the storm Reform, recourse, reaction Everywhere Uniform New threat New law New normal What's done now shall it remain? Digital connection Parroted refrain Solutions from the experts Make haste, emergency! Only time can answer... For the love of philanthropy Close Disclose We distance All for our safety Report Resort to witness The price? Sweet liberty Oh! Mighty saviour on high Prophetic Algorithmic eye Who will prosper Who will perish Freedom to live or die Can it be that all around us Greed and power tighten grip? The band played on Lest we forget Down with the unsinkable ship Mother earth how she is plundered Controlled consumption now ensues Vested interest Turn a profit Are you tempted to abuse? Future still remains uncertain So much joy in every day Rite of passage Right of movement Withdraw Stay home Stay Stronger now For there are answers To the questions you may seek The truth It won't come easy Too weak Too meek To speak words of reason Oh so grateful For the seeds lovingly sown We know not what lies before us Though examples clearly shown Finding purpose in a passion Create intention with an art We all stand in time together And we each will play our part
