Absent Minded
listening for an echoe in the past made from a future
Jesus has yet to be born
look to the future
for aman who will time travel
back to the beginning to prove to the future
that is what he is
Allow me to ressurrect your saviour one more time
and let the wheels of the time machine this planet is spin again
How much is that statue worth nowadays anyway?
the one carved way back when that looks just like some famous guy or girl?
and hey if you owned the world and had a time machine wouldnt you
be romantic at heart and making friends?
so in the future, the time machine is built
right around the time we figure out how to build a pyramid
and voila
we create ourselves a mystery
jesus you genius
you are from the future
and so are pyramids
and here i am wondering
in this present i know the past
we send the future population to
to save the world from our own greed
does the past and future just add up to another prison system
and if your bad enough you get sent off to another century
and if so then where should i be?
so if there really is time travel and jesus was the first one
who had to sell a lie
to keep the world as it is
then what im playing with could be dangerous
and i have somethings to gain
and sometimes it seems like nothing to lose
then can you use your time travel machine to lift this veil off
this generation
but you and i know if you do
the future of the time traveler
which we will understand as the truth of fate and destiny
will play out like some horror story i suppose
and thus making me the antichrist sent here early to kill jesus
when everyone thinks i am late
Im sure i'll be the last to know
and you might blame me for everything in the end
but its like i am being held hostage
with the fact there are six people whose lives
are different sentences they live out
and me the man in the middle
is trying to walk in circles to keep them alive
and if these six people were never held hostage
they never would have gotten me
I know who i am
time traveller you are one of the lives that holds me hostage
and had i have walked away you and the other five would be dead
or never would have been born
and this i suppose looks like my life insurance
for these six people held hostage living life as if it were but a sentence
when the several sentences are revealed
it will all make sense
a new purpose to be reborn
and the previous generation pulled one over on the next
by holding six very important people hostage
and here i am playing this game to keep them and myself alive
and in the end when it all comes to the chaptewr of how im just crazy
i might be laughing, but not at your tears of joy shame humiliation
and relief
Time traveller
i have met him
the man who walks in the ocean of our dreams
look to the future
for aman who will time travel
back to the beginning to prove to the future
that is what he is
Allow me to ressurrect your saviour one more time
and let the wheels of the time machine this planet is spin again
How much is that statue worth nowadays anyway?
