Methuselah's Children

Hello beautiful May, the sun is here to stay

It is good to be here on such a day

Every day I turn a bit wiser, every day climbing a little higher

And every day I turn more into someone I admire

Walking on light as the wind, don't need to be slim to fit in

As the fountain of youth disappeared with the fruit

so the gardens closed, but it's easy to get in

Some people try to touch the stars

Plastic fantastic such a farce

While the universe expands to be untouched by human hands

Immortality can't be bought or can it really?

Another day at the races, we try to stay ahead

of the future that changes us, but we're all mislead

Or values are wrong, we think we can live forever

but we won't be here that long

Well I don't care anyway, gone tomorrow but still here today

There are so many ways for the soul to find its home

I guess it's all in beliefs

It's God, it's Kharma, it is you and it is me

And all of these flavours make a believer out of me

Here I am doing fine, working my way outside the grand design

Won't line up like a barcode, this life is mine

I'll guess that what lies in the future will come to me in time

Methuselah's children, all Gods in this playground

souls are being a part of the emotional wasteland

Equal like seeds it's the year of the great flood

Wash away the dirt and the blood from our fingers

Only one solution be apart of their religion

find ourselves drowning in the ego of the many...

... we can't swim...

Look at the those people they're moving in circles collides at the edge of each turn

Look at those people I really believe that their map is all wrong

"I was a star of a show long ago, do you know who I am, do you reminisce my face?"

"And I was a cog in a wheel 'twas a square, I was aiming at the moon,

but I landed in your living room"

Look at those people their circle is stretched into one fragile lemming like line

Look at those people I cannot believe that we're letting them drown

Media creates an illusion of company but we will always be alone

Empires rise and they fall during lunchtime, but this world is all that I have...

Look at those people, Utopia waits for the blessed

And the rest of us trying to cling to the beauty that's left in the world

Stand up and be counted once more

They're dividing the rich and the poor

It will never be quite like the life you lived before

Let them be nine hundred years, evolution halts noone cares

When we'll draw our last breath and they're all cheating death

Guess who's free?

When the tables have turned, the viewpoint is new

I stand at the peak, my dreams have come true

There is no enough, more is what moves me now and this mirror needs a change

We're all Methuselah's children we wander the streets alone

We watch as the world turns cold

The toys we collect are fools gold - Farewell beautiful May, I don't care anyway

And that's the price we pay

Slowly consumed by a dream I resent,

a future I could prevent if I only'd understand

But I assume that as long as we're here

we just won't really care

Acting out the stupid nature of man...
