Dear Friends

The bellowing beasts are roving
The sapphire hour calls
The glint of the waves are breaking
Cascades of concrete fall

The boiling heat is quaking
The timorous thousands squall
A message that needs no taking
An opulence gone too far

When the world is ready for light
And the day has gone to night
There will be a voice to keep us safe
When the world is right again

The sea is a battered mistress
The arches of progress fall
Our method has met its maker
The fever afflicts us all

(When the world is right again)
The cannons have lost their passion
(And the scales have tipped againt)
Ships are wrecked in a stall
(There will be a light to keep us warm)
Entropy sweeps the carpet
(When the world is right again)
Thirsty she drinks us all
