Nowhere's Ark - Ark

I can see storm clouds gather ahead

Winter’s upon us, the summer is dead

I had a vision to get out of here

Seldom religion had entered my mind

Tried turning an eye, but the eye wasn’t blind

I had a mission, the omens were clear

Over and over and over again

Paradise lost to the errors of men

Fading the rainbow and losing the gold

To strengthen the weakness, born of old

Voices inside me say, «you understand

There’s plague in the soil, there’s danger on land

Safe is the water, hope is the sea»

«Seek out survivors, select two by two

Take one empty vessel for your human zoo»

«Yours is the conscience», the voices tell me

Colder and colder the stark winds of change

Blowing old memories out of our range

Crushing resistance to peddle revenge

A natural holocaust, a natural end

Survival pulls the people to the water

The water to the river, to the open sea

Locked away, the secret to the future

The future lies within the hand that holds the key

Shall I tell, or hide away for ever

The knowledge I may never have to give or take

Choosing life, the sister over brother

One above the other for the other’s sake

I’m hoping, I’m praying that I may wake up soon

Should I take, the crippled or the healthy

The poor or the wealthy, the black or white

Mine to make, the clinical incision

The surgical division of wrong or right

Shall I tell, or hide away for ever

The knowledge I may never have to give or take

Choosing life, the sister over brother

One above the other for the other’s sake

I’m rolling, I’m swaying, I turn to meet the end

Now that I’m staying, this is who I send
