From a clear blue sky A sudden bolt came crashing down Cracking all around, shaking the solid ground The fortress of solitude Was torn and shattered for the wind Sunlight far away, fortune had gone astray Into the crystal ball Gazing with empty eyes he sighed As one’s heaven fall There’s no place to run nor hide In ruins are the pillars of Eden Dark clouds of misery Came in and blurred the mind Sharpest eyes gone blind, reasons they could not find Uncertain prophecies Distorted every sound thought The vision seeking men fought through the lion’s den Choirs of angels was drowned By the sound of crumbling mountains one by one The march of the demons had so now begun Yesterday’s world was soon undone How far to salvation? How far to the promised land Where the eclipse no more refuses us the light? How far to salvation? How far to a healing hand That can mend the broken dream And carry us out of the night?
