The new strangeness

I was taught the time had come

And a strangeness had begun

And everything that once was here

All at once will disappear

And before the morning breaks

Many voices will be raised

And though no one is certain yet

Everyone is sure to fall instead

Well nobody knows when and how it will come

And wether you win or become undone

You want to be prepared

You've put some money away

And canceled the meeting on thursday

You're ready and willed to lead a different life

But at the moment it seems no direction is right

It is never very easy from one day to the next

You have to be sure that the dog is fed

And somewhere it has already begun

Even where I may go you could still walk in the sun

But then no one knew what it could be

But there were already signs and here and there you could see

It was not only in places that it appeared

There were times of day when it was clear

In the hours after the sun went down

Change had come and it was all around

If the truth be told we can not deny

That what we used to hide from now we welcome inside

And it was understood that best unconsciously

That something's unfold and something's happening

And only just now has it become

Too much to ignore that something has begun

The signs have been clear the time is here

And now a strangeness has appeared

And I lie in bed and I have to admit

I have a strong urge to turn around again

Outside where the night blends with the daylight

See things coming through and it concerns me too
