You wandered too long in the dark And you thought that the night was the day You saw hundreds of desecrated bodies But were too lazy to lay them to rest You’re not a traitor, you’re simply a fool And there are millions like you all around Poor Christ would have torn off his crown Had he guessed what was yet to come… …answer me What kept you from seeing the truth? What ever became of the dream To make heaven on earth for all?
The wind tore the blindfold away from your face And the light struck your eyes like a whip It turned out a maniac had played the role of your father And the people were obedient cattle Everything changed in the eyes that now see Who was a rat — became tiger and lion You’re not a traitor, you lived as a fool And there are millions like you all around… …answer me What kept you from seeing the truth? What ever became of the dream To make heaven on earth for all?
Look back behind you There the sunset stands frozen Frozen in a black-and-red stripe Ahead — only fog Behind — only lies What have you done with your dream?
