( Galleon )
Winds and rain still no life in sight
Just a bleak light of creations first sigh
But when it starts it never stops
Just different paths on the brushy way from start
Extinction
Evolution
Life will find a way
It started small in muddy bottom holes
But soon the dinos come to roame it all
Some million years of full control
Before it ended with a blow
But life is strong it provails just every time
Just new directions on the tree of here and gone
Devestation or Destruction
Life will find a way
But how long will this go on
The cyclic motion of life
Forever or what
Five times it stopped with chaos and with death
Each time the process found new ways to erect
But this time it started up again
It took a fatal turn
And then came the man to begin the human plan
Develop and to take evolutions big mistake
The primitive man fished with hooks made of bones
Not plenty they could get
The modern man fish with gear
Bringing surplus and a wholesale net
The primitive man got a catch for a few
Not overfishing the big old blue
The modern man rakes the waters
Leaving little for the next me and you
The primitive man filled his belly
The modern fills the account
And when the working day is thru
The market claims it´s dues
More
more
The primitive man couldn´t see down below
Just dreaming of a world to be explored
The modern man has equipment
Leaving nothing to be unfold
They fantasized of a manifold world
And creatures never seen
But today if you ´re lucky
You ´ll find shreds or everythings green
The primitive man filled his belly
The modern fills the account
And when the working day is thru
The market claims it ´s dues
More
more
Much wants more
The devil wants souls
Much more
The consumer friendly society
Grows fast and it grows with greed
East wants to be like west
To be rich and runned by the market man
Capitalism.... Bleeding business
Stock exchange.... Utopia
Democrasy.... Hypocrisy
Multinational trading.... Our saviour
Green
The colour of a puttin green
It´s spreading like a disease
And it´s made for the human need
A little experiment
With genes and DNA
A tropical algea
Invades and it will stay
Growing twice as fast
As the original life on the seafloor
Smothering all other plants
Leaving nothing for the rest to feed upon
Some said it´s the natural way
For nature and evolution
But bringing a mutated plant
Can´t be the right solution
Doesn´t scientists understand
That they can´t run around acting goods
This is a fragile world
So don´t fuck around with the odds
Into the mystic deep of the atlantic ocean
Lots of ships and aeroplanes has vanished into thin air
Scientists and ufofreaks are fighting about the notion
The triangle theory is still waiting to be revealed
Facts and fairytales
Inner space unexplored
Strange vapors,time warps,fogs and wormholes
Electromagnetism and methane gas
A lot of speculation about this area in the sea
A lot of mystery to thrill you and me
Facts and fairytales
Inner space unsolved
Bermuda obscure lights
Keeps it´s secrets very tight
It will take you for a ride
Between dreams and reality
Maybe connected to other dimensions
Or is it here atlantis comes around
Facts and fairytales
Inner space unexplored
Bermuda obscure lights
Keeps it´s secrets very tight
It will take you for a ride
Between dreams and reality
Into atlantis and the antediluvian world
With platos and with other words
A superculture from long ago
The golden island every man wants to behold
Many theories many fantasies
A society in perfect harmony
Celebrated for it´s virtue and for it´s beauty
With wealth for every man
Dreamland for the common man
A higher moral plan
Uniting gentleness with wisdom
Utopin words in the modern world
Where hatred and greed makes it work
On the verge to mythology
And we are going to the books of history
In to the polar night
And in to the polar white
Many brave men
Had to defy these vast plains
With dreams and hopes
To reach the poles
And put up the nation flag
Was the ultimate goal
They sailed in to the ice
With spirits high and fearless minds
Sometimes snowbound
Sometimes snowblind
Never giving up the fight against the elements
True heroes of our time
Starvation and scurvy
And starlit nights
Roaring frozen winds
And crevasses in the ice
No hope no glory
During endless days of work
Fatigue and gangrene
Allways there allways lurks
They sailed in to the ice
With spirits high and fearless minds
Sometimes snowbound
Sometimes snowblind
Never giving up the fight against the elements
True heroes of our time
Arctic explorers like Peary and Scott
Amundsen,Shackleton and Andreé achived a lot
To conquer the frozen world
They had to try something new
Except from sledges and dogs
Even airships,planes and ballons
So many ways
To get lost and be forced to stay
Month in the packice
Month in the snow
Cold winds bites the face
And just nowhere to go
White wastelands takes it´s toll
Isolation brings a phsycic load to pull
So many ways
To get lost and be forced to stay
They sailed in to the ice
With spirits high and fearless minds
Sometimes snowbound
Sometimes snowblind
Never giving up the fight against the elements
True heroes of our time
It´s blood in the waters it´s blood on our hands
The human predator kills to satiesfy the demands
We want to have our share out of the blue well
But the assets are limited and thats are the wellknown facts
Can we ever bring some sence in this money making turbulence
Red currents
Red sea
They cut of the fins from sharks and leave them to drown
They should cut the hands of greed and just leave them stunned
Coralreef fishermen unaware of the facts
That their poisoness little trade brings more damage than prey
Can we ever build a defence against ravenous opulence
Cold currents
Empty sea
And on the polar ice they hunt the old fashion way
Driving the metal pikes through the seal cub brain
The tuna industry got dolphins by mistake
But treated them just like some kind of waste
Can we ever bring some sence in this money making turbulence
Red currents
Red sea
Welcome to blue richness blue richness welcomes you
We´re glad to serve the best of what the ocean brings
The seafood special menu veraity you´ve never seen
You can take much more much more than you ever need
Guaranteed neverending we can experiment with genes
The quality is perfect and so are the industry
Overestimated belif in blue richness bickering about the conferments
Everyone claims the right to take their shares
Even when the hauls gets smaller and fish loose size and weight
They see no end of their business just leave us be
Guaranteed neverending we can experiment with genes
The quality is perfect and so are the industry
Extirpation - Never mentioned
Irritation - Allways tension
No solutions - No conclusions
It´s our right so just leave us be
No solutions - No conclusions
It´s our right so leave us be
In to the dark and cold black waters
The story of fright and the submarine matters
Mr A was chasing the imperial fleet
He´s wolfpacks sank the convoys so discreet
Then came the post war red exaggerated dread
When every movement seemed as a possible threat
East and west got caught in a deadly game
Chasing each other like mouses in a great maze
With nuclear missiles outside every coast
On the edge of war the cuban deadly shore so close
So close
Communist fear everyone sees and hears
Pointing you out there´s no doubt
Infidel better show and tell
Lie and deny your past
And veer with every with wind
We have sailed the seas for thousands of years
But still don´t know all
With unsinkable ships and new inventional grips
We still come out small
In this technical world so much more to learn
Natures forces are cruel it´s easy to loose
We extract gas and oil we sweat and we toil
To fulfill our dreams
For a comfortable life we seek and we strive
To satiesfy our belif
That this monetary chase
Gonna save our day
One third preach the god of greed
And two thirds still bleeds
Walking here on the north shore
In this warm summer breeze
Reflecting upon these careless things
We´ve done all this industral years
We take everthing for granted
Beliving that all will be fine
But if we walk around blindfolded
We gonna get a scary surprise
Is the oilfields inexhaustible no
And our freshwater an endless source
Do we solve all things with modified genes
And feed us with animal clones
Do we trust the nuclear power
That heats all our homes
Is technology reliable
To keep us snug and warm
We drain the oceans resources
We dump our waste in the sea
We test our nuclear weapons
On fragile coral reefs
We introduce new species
In places never seen
If nothings done we loose all we won
From here to eternity
