Voivod

Panorama

Voivod


walking down an alley 
deep in blue neon 
a dead end for today 
under skyways worn 

concrete from far below 
rising up above 
surrounded by shadows 
garden without gods 

all are strangers alike 
all riding the blind 
the purple of blind 
the purple of their eyes 
in reverie unwind 

circling sub-city 
a rainbow appears 
to calm down the fury 
to calm all the fears 

this random occurance 
is only a sign 
of the incoherence 
in the clockwork mind 

a symphony of our time 
recalling the past 
people in a decline 
denying the vibrations we're made of 

somber drama 
rolling down hill 
panorama 
all is so still 
anyway, anyhow 
anyhow, anyway 

end of all reason 
is what I go through 
yes, it is what I go through 

slip-sliding nation 
is what they must do 
yes, it is what they must do 

over the greying landscape 
under a deadened sky 
sitting on a mountain 
I will stand aside 

as I am a witness 
I turn a blind eye 
I am feeling helpless 
but it passes by 

is this a modern legend? 
maybe a fairy tale 
just a future requiem 
cutting along the fiction that we're 
made of
