Earth: The New World

Society is the outward manifestation of the combined within. As it was once said,
"No matter where you go, there you are." Buckaroo Banzai

  • III Pilgrims

    Their voyage had been slow
    And they floated through the air
    They were so close yet far away
    And beginning not to care

    They soon thereafter found themselves
    On a warm, climatic place
    No more dull and lonesome hours
    Spent in grueling space

    They set foot on their new found land
    Gave it a fitting name
    They sowed it full of useful crops
    And turned the wildlife tame

    Now these pilgrims from another world
    Had established a new home
    They charted it from east to west
    And divided it into zones…

  • IV The New World

    “Everything we need is here
    We can live without doubt or fear
    Do away with wrath and tears

    “We’ve discovered a brave new world
    Let the banners be unfurled”

    This paragon of living
    Gave birth to Love and Giving
    Everyone was satisfied
    With all their lives so unified

    They all lived in harmony
    Danced and sang triumphantly
    All together and free

    The sky was blue with cheer and love
    As their God watched from above

    They worked and played in open fields
    And traded samples of their yields
    Gorged themselves at every meal
    Life on Earth was so ideal

    They worshiped trees and hills afar
    Gave pleasant names to all the stars
    And let go pre-developed scars

    But soon the Love had turned to Greed
    And the flowers turned to weeds…

  • V Divided Continents

    The valleys had divided
    But the oceans rumbled on
    As the ground and sky collided
    The memories of Love were gone

    This ancient land of paradise
    Had begun to waste away
    This wondrous land of happiness
    Had somehow gone astray

    The conflict of the Ages
    Had made them unaware
    That they were tearing up their world
    And far beyond compare

    No one seemed to notice
    That there was nothing at peace
    With silent screams of suffering
    And riots in the streets

    The sun turned its head
    As all of the Earth turned red
    The greatest evil had led
    Them into the ground instead…

  • VI The Battle of Aergonia

    Transformed into a holy Hell
    Aergonia was all but dead
    The need of always having more
    Had vaporized their stead
    Destruction now was all they knew
    There was no hope at all
    And everything for which they’d lived
    Once rose and now would fall

    When the smoke had risen
    And the dust had cleared…

  • VII The Beginning

    …The scars of the battle
    had all but disappeared

    A handful of frightened ones
    Fled to escape their fears…

    They climbed aboard their mighty ships
    Set sail to the sky
    Taking with them memories
    Ignorant of the ancient try

    To the other end of the universe
    So they can be alone
    To get away from their parent land
    And start one of their own…
