The golden age is not ahead.
Our progress serves to excavate our tomb.
We've lost the union we once held.
Who knows what secrets start
Mad sparks in tinder hearts?
It's time to turn around.
Our safety holds but by a thread
That's tied into our TV living room
Beneath the shelter rebels shelled
To show us they don't care
Who's forced to make repairs.
It's time to turn around.
Existence points into the core
But we have turned to look the other way.
The dead expanse of voided space
Displays results of cause -
Both known and hidden laws.
It's time to turn around.
Who warns against the coming war?
The metaphor has nothing left to say.
Contestants run the human race,
Descend a slope whose bend
Conceals a bitter end.
It's time to turn around.
With haste we rush to ruin's gate.
We flee from Eden dressed as drunken fools.
The poison's courage finally fades -
Too late to stop the deeds
We thought would meet our needs.
It's time to turn around.
The grand procession's running late.
The factory flow produced defective tools.
Despite the plans our pride has made
Our failures weigh us down -
A stolen giant's crown.
It's time to turn around.
We're born outside and looking in.
The way of Truth must pass through weeping falls
That seem to bar the way ahead.
But deep within the pool
Awaits a portal jewel.
It's time to turn around.
Surprise the space expands within,
A shock that every seeking soul recalls
On watching younger hungers fed.
For those who bow devout
Each passage opens out.
It's time to turn around.
