Dialectic

Michael had a dream
sat on the landing stage
wisdom came with age
Lucie lost her babe
under the landing stage
Susan fixed her gaze
on Justin's eyes

Kevin had a plan
join the infantry
clever shirk a duty
mike began to sing
"a new awakening"
Susan did not care
"bygone love affair"

my faith in mankind
armoured caskets
in blooming meadows
they are rusting away
flowers will grow
to be cut by children
with knives of kitchens
in disarray

Justin had a vision
at a safe distance
from the raging water
Justin made a plan
life as a righteous man
Susan had a gun
unseen by anyone

time after time wheels mesh one another
time after time leads into crisis
time after time wheels break one another
time after time heals from paralysis

Lucie left her babe
in the cold water
Kevin hadn't told her
Justin fixed his sword
under his self-portrait
Susan had a knife
ready to end his life

time after time wheels mesh one another
time after time leads into crisis
time after time wheels break one another
time after time heals from paralysis

Lucie threw a stone
from the quay wall
she had lost her all
Michael sat alone
watching the sun go down
Kevin stayed at home
Lucie jumped alone

my faith in mankind
armoured caskets
in blooming meadows
they are rusting away
flowers will grow
to be cut by children
with knives of kitchens
in disarray

and good and evil
must be defined
must be denied
fall into decay

time after time wheels mesh one another
time after time leads into crisis
time after time wheels break one another
time after time heals from paralysis

time after time wheels mesh one another
time after time leads into crisis
time after time wheels break one another
time after time heals from paralysis
