Babylon
There they stood,
the man containing the Core of the universe
and the man dressed in white showing but one inhumane eye,
gazing upon the rising tower of metal.
The pinnacle of man’s race -
When the sun rose to wake another day
they were gone, gone without a trace
Babylon, craving in lucidity
Babylon, the fire will remain
And the sun razes from their memory
What the dark had cyphered in the sky
And the flame’s burning their lucidity
Babylon, rise up to the night
Oh, let us wander
let us wander between the worlds
We override their principles
Abrogate horizons
Abandon mental gravity
Oh, we overrule the eye
Compromise your sanity
To heaven
To hell
- F H Hakansson
Partial lyrics from Avantasia – Stargazers.

Chitchatting inhumane race
Babble on until …
Yes, I read that poem! It’s really good! As all of your stuff is
You are too kind.
And remember that without yours it may never have seen the light.
Great stuff, once again!
