Ethereal Traveler

Your rating:
Swirling the bottomless space 
And seeing the birth of flickering flames 
My ark departing from home 
I am alone once again 

Other life seem so far 
As my vessel battles the storms 
Like a stranger lost on its way 

The further away we get from the Earth 
The closer we come to the world beyond 

Fragments of earthly landscapes 
Dissolve in a fallout haze 
Disappearing like the fleeting illusions 
From a distant childhood dream 
Fleeing from the horrid reality 

Now I see what our life has been - 
2000 years of consuming agony 
Spent in search of an exit 
Form the catacombs of our mind 

Denying our phobias and fears 
We're seeking evidence of our supremacy 
Invent the theory of evolution 
Avoid acknowledging regress 
Self-proclaimed masters of the mind 
Yet remain servants of our instincts 

The Old Testament has lost its laws 
The values of the past are forsaken 
Time and space have merged at a breakpoint 
What awaits ahead no one knows 

We may be able to cheat death 
But fate we can't avoid 
And those who follow in our footsteps 
Will squander the grasp of wisdom 

And will be left in charge of the riddles 
Whose essence is not meant to be revealed 
Our names and faces will be forgotten 
Or become icons of the idol gods 
Our heirs are doomed to be the servants of the cannon code 
As they forget their heretic past 

Who knows 
If space walk leads into eternity 
But what I know for sure 
Is I don't wish to be another brick 
A brick in a cemetery wall
