I wanted a promotion of a different kind
So I took a trip to expand my mind
I read all the brochures on what to expect
I made sure surroundings and music were correct
As I took off, I felt my whole world shift
Like I was falling through space in an upside-down lift
Colours spoke like never before
Sit back and relax they said, and we’ll take you ashore
The beauty, the wonder, when you fly in the zone
No fat cats to slave for in my heavenly home
The wings of my love shrink humanity’s fear
Past, present and future, all live as one here
Nobody speaks of this beautiful land
Its gold mines are buried in the memory of man
The beaches are deserted, the sunshine is too hot
The deck chairs lie empty but there’s no sign of rot
As the journey progressed, I knew I was lost
There’s no going back, so this is the cost
If my feet ever touch hallowed ground again
I’ll thank God I got out of this hurricane
I never wanted to end up insane
I should have known better than to mess with my brain
I boldly went, hell bent to explore
Now I’m a long way from the factory floor
But after a while you get used to the madness
The most difficult thing are the waves of sadness
My mind can now traverse both sides of the veil
I just hope I don’t end up the wrong side of a nail
Most people like to stay in their mind prison box
Too scared to search for the key to its locks
Courage is called for if you want to evolve
Solutions don’t come if you have no puzzle to solve
Maybe you should expand your comfortable zone
Go inside yourself, take a look at your clone
Dismantle its automatic mechanisms of thought
An expansion of awareness has to be sought
Our consciousness is demanding we move with the times
We have to overcome generations of thought crimes
We took our eye of the ball and let men in black take control
Now we are getting sucked into one giant royal black hole
The quest of the hero is to keep on pushing the edge
With each tentative step you erode your false safety ledge
You will discover that the chains keeping you in place
Snap quite easily when you get out of your face
As you grow wings you will fly as high as you can
While swooping down often to help bring up fellow man
That is the nature of being born into an abyss
There is only one way to go, to get the hell out of this
Cheers!
