through an icy mountain pass
the caravan snaked down
a nomad hung his tattered boots
and stuck his ground
multiplied across the plain
a thousand moons swept by
roots dug in deep
and meshed into an endless sky

every way you turn
the fields stretch so green
generations sowed their lives
in that book of dreams

miles away in sterile rooms
they opened the flood gates
and land surrendered itself
and was returned in altered states
the waters that gave life
scroch the earth, the sea, the salt
and every dusty road leads to that river of
frozen asphalt

looking back
it's never what it seemed
as you tear the chapters of their lives
from that book of dreams

can you look into their eyes as you turn the page
demolition debris of the scientific age
crushed beneath the wheels
frozen in a silent scream
as you rewrite their lives
in your book of dreams

you shout "power to the people"
as you build the cage
they grind a thousand flowers to dust
in a daze of rage

look into their eyes as you turn the page
demolition debris of the scientific age
somewhere in between
lies what you want and what they need
so you rewrite it together
in that book of dreams
