Whirlwind World
Deafened by sound, blinded by light
Lost in the crowd, driven to flight
Reckoning demons, cursing at gods
Damning temptation, sinning for the odds
Releasing the pressure to build it anew
Preaching equality, condescending the few
Let it be known; throughout the world
We’re building a better place, so they told
As soon as the current crises is through
We’ll build a happy world for me and you
Promising gold, riches and peace
Reap from the poor to make your fine feast
Preach from the Bible; A god who knows all
Who knows us; when we rise, when we fall,
Who gave us free will, to choose to love him,
Preach your beautiful words of contradiction
And pray for the sinners, whose life are planned out
To choose to change and remove thought and doubt
A balance of worlds, between woes and joys
But life isn’t fair, it just creates and destroys
We live in a world of truth and of lies
Contradictions and balance, nonsense and spies
Troubles and worries, war and brief peace
Do the lies die with us or do they increase?
No doubt there is reason, behind all the woes
Behind the happiness, and a God that knows
But Mankind has confused itself with His terms
His rules and regulations and the sins of concurs
We’ll preach of bad news and times come to end
Until death comes to all and we can just start again
And we build more empires more sins and more rules
And confused ourselves with contradicting fools
But even the lies have to end one day nigh
For nothing lasts forever, not the Earth, not the sky
And when the day comes, and we are no more
A new race will fellow… with more lies than before
Each end brings a new life to be released
After war there is always a brief time of peace
But I guess that’s just the way life has to learn
Contradicting and changing, like one caught in curse
Deafened by sound, blinded by light
I’m caught in a whirl, an weary eternal plight
