Time Of Startled Dreamers

Time Of Startled Dreamers

Assembled in vast city of dark ice, 
we demonstrate against cruel tyranny 
and call for equal rights for every soul 
who works with faith in our community 
to create instead of destroy with hope 
in our time of startled dreamers from Heaven. 

Masked agents of cruel tyrant in the tower 
assault our neighbors with aggressive hate 
and drag them trembling in the bitter cold 
so we bring bread from hearth of liberty 
and bandages to heal their broken hearts 
in our time of startled dreamers from Heaven. 

Resurrected from television tombs 
with bodies composed of engines and glass, 
we challenge bullies of the fascist king 
with recording cameras instead of guns 
to chronicle abuse of human rights 
in our time of startled dreamers from Heaven. 

Untethered from ideal concept of freedom 
where every person lives based on free will, 
our bodies buzz with anguish of contempt, 
shrouded by brilliant glare of tyranny 
that blinds our eyes to paradise we lost 
in our time of startled dreamers from Heaven. 

Scattered in the waste land of lost ideals 
when our noble world view of social progress 
collapses into civil war from greed, 
we find each other in the ring of stones 
where we conspire to restore liberty 
in our time of startled dreamers from Heaven. 

Demonic laughter of dark winter storm, 
congealed from spirit smoke of bitter rage, 
looms over frosted land in purple surge 
that breaks the silver heart of noble warriors 
who struggle through thorny bushes of ghosts 
in our time of startled dreamers from Heaven. 

Suffocated by eyeless shade of faith 
that howls at bleeding gate of paradise, 
brave people of America assert 
civil rights to assemble and speak truth 
with trumpet voices that break down walls 
in our time of startled dreamers from Heaven. 

Black metal skies full of hunger-crazed crows 
mourn over city streets of demonstrators 
in thick polluted clouds of mocking angst 
till one voice of our many hearts radiates 
with luminescent beauty of bold faith 
in our time of startled dreamers from Heaven.
