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.
