The old light of dawn All is still The shadows retreat Anger has passed Eyes still weary Sanity prevails Coming 'round but not to your way of thought Your ivory tower pierced those high & mighty clouds A closed circle of friends With the grip of impotent weaklings So alone in your farce of brotherhood The house of cards crumbles Indifference A life long friend A warmth of unique comfort As the cards fall and attitudes change Only time can tell And it will It will Now so still This river of life The rapids passed But never the last Mere ripples on the apathy you kindled The river's strength lies far from the banks Perfection is for dreamers The self-righteous fools And when their dream dies What then will they have? A hand that claws the air And a heart filled with misery Your forethought Life mapped out I've no time for your ambitious career As rays of sunlight awaken the sleeper The light breaks through, eyes open with a start Only the sands of time know the morrow The past is passed, and my eyes see the dawn that is new
