System Failure

Sometimes thoughts float around me
‘bout things I deem to know
or is it just my pure belief
and actually unknown

I’m not sure
are this feelings of grief and rage
like thorns from a fragrant rose
or do rooms may expand, where
this suptle tensions grow

We are all exposed on our fragile Home in space
And that pearl we must guard, then there’s no better place

This is the time for some changes
this is the time, may, to open the doors
and all that you know rearranges
may I hold on to illusions
and like shadows they will pass

Tell me are you aware that
our time is running down
we’re riding out on the speedway
lost souls who want to be found

Well, life is a magic thing
creative in abundance and much more
it blows my mind every time again
It is a gift, it's a miracle that we should care

But did you see what we screw up?
and what we now crop
for example every day
belief me ore not
million trees in the jungle
burned down ore cut (felled)
for this there's only one remedy
right now it hase to stop

Heaven and Earth arise
but heartbeats are missing there, runaway
but if you watching carefully
you see life in it's slow retreat

the surface it seems to bleed
caused by the big strain
the destruction seems to be exploded
like a hurrycane, mercilessly sweeping everything away

you fools, you stupid, greedy ignoramus
blood sticks to your disgusting fingers
neither gods, nor kings, nor politicians
will stop this profit-oriented destructive mania

we have sold our souls to comfort and progress
we’re so proud and vain to rate this as success

this is the time for some changes
This is the time, may to open the doors
And all that you know rearranges
including our emotions
Like shadows they pass

Tell me are you aware that
our time is running down
we are searching but won’t see
what we've already found
