Perpetual II from Perpetual by Frank Hermans

PERPETUAL II

It starts with a fairy tale and ends as a nightmare
The battlefield of childbirth
Silting down into a homely warfare

The aim of this fratricide is total domination
Remake and remodel the world
The sad fate of our final destination

It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters
It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters

It’s a new connected world that can’t be denied
Where I don’t admire you for what you did, but for how you died
Where a YouTube movie is like a tombstone story
Where lies and fake news will alter the face of history

It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters
It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters

It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters
It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters
It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters
It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters

We created loneliness and call it peace
While the sound of a crying child will never cease
We will beg for mercy and hope for release
Hope for release, hope for release

It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters
It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters
It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters
It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters
It may not work, but the dream still matters
You can see yourself in its shatters
