michael had a dream   sat on the landing stage   wisdom came with age   lucie lost her babe   under the landing stage   susan fixed her gaze   on justin's eyes      kevin had a plan   join the infantry   clever shirk a duty   mike began to sing   "a new awakening"   susan did not care   "bygone love affair"      my faith in mankind   armoured caskets   in blooming meadows   they are rusting away   flowers will grow   to be cut by children   with knives of kitchens   in disarray      justin had a vision   at a safe distance   from the raging water   justin made a plan   life as a righteous man   susan had a gun   unseen by anyone      time after time wheels mesh one another   time after time leads into crisis   time after time wheels break one another   time after time heals from paralysis      lucie left her babe   in the cold water   kevin hadn't told her   justin fixed his sword   under his self-portrait   susan had a knife   ready to end his life      time after time wheels mesh one another   time after time leads into crisis   time after time wheels break one another   time after time heals from paralysis      lucie threw a stone   from the quay wall   she had lost her all   michael sat alone   watching the sun go down   kevin stayed at home   lucie jumped alone      my faith in mankind   armoured caskets   in blooming meadows   they are rusting away   flowers will grow   to be cut by children   with knives of kitchens   in disarray      and good and evil   must be defined   must be denied   fall into decay      time after time wheels mesh one another   time after time leads into crisis   time after time wheels break one another   time after time heals from paralysis
