Towers of Steel

Finding a book with pages bent and brown
Wandering through the ruins, in a city of old
The young man wasn’t sure of what he’d found
And so he stopped to read, the ancient story it told

Of People in Power keeping their Ways of War

Their greed was and ageless fire, raging out of control
Blinding them to what would be lying before
They never stopped to heed, one last desperate call

Towers of Steel in the sunshine glisten
Many will hear but few will listen
Wrapped in their working lives, unaware something is wrong

Signs all around us, Nature’s warning
Some are protesting many are scorning
Soon you will realize, they cannot come along

Leave all the lowlands, into the mountains
Underground springs and natural fountains
Will help you survive the madness, you must go through

Out of the Cities, into the Country
If there’s still time, you just might get free
But there will be refuge, for only the chosen few

You who have gazed on this ancient story
Stand in what’s left of our technical glory
You are again from the garden forbidden
But in you the seeds of tomorrow are hidden

Prophets and Pastors and Political Masters
Were all swept away when the damage was done
Still from their laughter, a choice of disasters
Looms in the distance for those who live on

Towers of Steel in the sunshine glisten
Many will hear but few will listen
Wrapped in their working lives, unaware something is wrong

Signs all around us, Nature’s warning
Some are protesting many are scorning
Soon you will realize, they cannot come along

Considering the events of the past few days, I thought this may be a timely piece of work.

Thanks Jen, glad you liked it. I also have music written and recorded for these lyrics. I may post the song someday when you get that area of the website up and running.

Sounds like Japan is actually living some of this as we speak -- Not Good!

Here is the Music to Towers of Steel Tara. This Music is a little "Old School", but it was written and recorded a long time ago. The Lyrics stood the test of time though.
