Flash of neon signs that pulse blood of glossy lies. Veins throb and quiver as they deliver food for hungry eyes Red, Yellow, Turquoise, Razzmatazz feed the impulse of masses Colors plaster empty faces filling them with alien light Inside a flame flickers barley bright. Dying now the last of an ancient rite Slowly grasping for one last breath Flickers madly, soft with regret A cavern, now dark and hollow Echoes what had once past followed To be filled now with some new fictive light Guided only by false color and artificial sight Now they have lost their light Bright lights shine lies to eagerly empty masses Lips contract and speak false colors of satisfaction Cacophony of humms and buzzes spread like molasses Eternal night has set upon this mankind

A Metropolis For Sheep
Flash of neon signs that pulse blood of glossy lies. Veins throb and quiver as they deliver food for hungry eyes Red, Yellow, Turquoise, Razzmatazz feed the impulse of masses Colors plaster empty faces filling them with alien light Inside a flame flickers barley bright. Dying now the last of an ancient rite Slowly grasping for one last breath Flickers madly, soft with regret A cavern, now dark and hollow Echoes what had once past followed To be filled now with some new fictive light Guided only by false color and artificial sight Now they have lost their light Bright lights shine lies to eagerly empty masses Lips contract and speak false colors of satisfaction Cacophony of humms and buzzes spread like molasses Eternal night has set upon this mankind
