Lyrics Sheet for Sandcastles

Sandcastles

The time has come the Walrus said to think of reciprocity

The lack of water, all this sand, gives rise to a necessity

The fish have gone, the salt is speeding up their sure mortality

For any life that struggles on, there is a strange dichotomy

To take or leave with no desire for self-responsibility

And then to say, perish the day that blunted sensibility

----------------------------

O let us weep , my friend, the only water given us

Illustrates to what a state their greedy minds have driven us

O let us weep my friend, at all the sand and paucity

Gives evidence of serious lack of hope of productivity

----------------------------

Drinking sand and breathing dust is noone's view or policy

The powers that be still demonstrate remarkable tenacity

Their fingers crumble as they write, from want of true sagacity

Their scheming built on nothing more than sand's collapsibility

They squabble over empty words but haven't the capacity

To clear it up, the sea itself has lost its viability

----------------------------

O let us weep , my friend, the only water given us

Illustrates to what a state their greedy minds have driven us

O let us weep my friend, at all the sand and paucity

Gives evidence of serious lack of hope of productivity

----------------------------

Towards the skies we turn our eyes in search of immortality

On ships of hope and fools we launch ourselves into infinity

To start anew in worlds so pure to pierce their virginity

Too bad we didn't leave behind our violence and our vanity

Our hate and greed our wars, our religions are insanity

Despite our best attempts to give our species durability

We are a mere droplet in the ocean of eternity

----------------------------

O let us weep , my friend, let's sink into banality

With all these quantities of sand, there is no rationality

O let us weep , my friend, let's kill originality

To save our hopes and dreams we must reduce our visibility
