It Was Great

from Lit Again In Our Time by Sublunar Minds

lyrics

Tranquility was once
At the heart of these fields
Generations turned over
The great wheel
Raison d'entre
To continue to be
Forever expanding
Immortality

The glorious dead are in their right places
The tombstones have reserved empty white spaces
For so many yet are so far unknown
But life inexorably takes up its own

Now we look at the world it is not the same
Tribes disbanded new nations new names
Perfect straight lines in red black and blue
Artificial constructions in more colors too

Mandate darling, mandate
We have several now
Try to keep your cool
We will do the right thing somehow

Anyhow what other choice could there have been?
This was never peace this is war without end

The glorious dead are smiling at us
The glorious dead are laughing
Like thunder from Valhalla it explodes
A picture of the afterlife, the slow and solemn odes

The oaths we swore when we were together
In the mud and the blood feeling deaf feeling cold
We're broken and broken so many times over
So young so spent so blank so rolled so old

This was the singular point in history around which all else revolves
What was and what was to be colliding very real very explosively
The modern world become absurd

Never before but over and over again
The glorious dead
The glorious dead
The glorious dead
