Mirrorbird

Blue hues scattered like light

Over the watery landscape

It was a cascade of dreamy blues

A flowing stream of hope

Levelled shadows were in the distance

Like mountains shining like metal

I ran the blade across the whetstone

As cold as a statue

Mirrorbirds sang a song of triumph

A song for the times

Songs for the forgotten kingdom

Someone killed the mirrorbird

But who could be so cruel?

Who could be so cruel?

Mirrorbirds are more than birds                                                                                   

Mirrorbirds are mirrorbirds                                                                                                       

I will go forward                                                                                                               

Ask questions, seek answers                                                                                                       

Long live Gandahar                                                                                                                           

Long live Gandahar                                                                                                                     

Long live the peaceful people                                                             

Technology is evil

I checked the high places

I heard the mirrorbird cry

It was like a loyal soldier

Sent off to Jasper

Flew through the sky

The blue turned into black

Sleepy eyes shut and I was under attack

Crash landed into nowhere

Seen eyes, seen a new being

A mutant, a non-existent dreamer

The ears of the earth

The mirrorbird, at your command

On new land

Unarmed, in overdrive                                                                                                     

On new land                                                                                                                       

The bells were resonant                                                                                                           

It had a meaning like the timepiece                                                                                     

In the great monopoly game                                                                                                       

I felt like everything was a riddle I had to solve                                                                     

It's clear to me now                                                                                                             

It's clear to me now

The past and future are one                                                                                           

The work has been done                                                                                             

People have turned to stone                                                                                           

It is madness                                                                                                               

The new world adrift

It was then, the mirrorbird was captured

Man and woman marched

The new world was the destination

Suddenly I've changed I don't know how it happened

Man and woman marched in unison

The moonlight glistened

"In the head there's nothing

Absolutely nothing

It's empty

No flesh, no blood, nothing living

Nothing chemical

No gears, no circuits, nothing

But yet the mind is capable of killing

It's strange"

Men and women are stuffed

But not killed

They've vanished in the light

Returned like machines

Working

The eye does not exist                                                                                               

Pleasure is freedom                                                                                                 

Complete submission                                                                                                       

A great beginning                                                                                                       

An iridescent beginning                                                                                                 

A pink explosion

Drifting and useless

You know me well

I obey your orders

I was told you have the answers

What do you know about my dreams then?

I am what I am

I've seen people like demons

Mirrorbirds which have returned

I come from the future

From a far away and distant place

I won't wait much longer

I am from 1,000 years in the future

1,000 years in the past

He was there, swept over the blue                                                                             

1,000 light years ago I met you                                             

1,000 light years ago                                                                                                         

A thousand years or one day will be the same                                           

When you pass through the door of time                                                                             

1,000 years ago, 1,000 years ago                                                                                       

1,000 years ago.
