The Grey Cold Whispering

from A Skullful Of Happy by Hans Rickheit

/

lyrics

In the grey cold whispering
Sings the age-old history
Shining bright and shimmering
Comforting the whimpering

Naked, cold and shivering
Vulnerable and snivelling
Infant hands still fumbling
Stands the mindless child-king

Still, he shouts his first command
Come to claim this common land
“This is now the Promised Land.
Reconstitute these barren clans”

We shall flourish and survive
Come, replenish our supplies
With our growing energies
We shall crush the enemy


In the grey cold whispering
And our aimless loitering
Empty smiles withering
A tiny mind starts flickering

Dusty lips are quivering
And sightless eyes start listening
A voiceless mouth is mumbling
The Giant Eye starts glowering

Amidst the endless bickering
Offended by the simpering
A knuckled fist starts tightening
And fragile skulls start splintering

We will rewrite history
Anesthetize the memory
Notify all entities
And nullify the entropy


And through the ceaseless struggling
And ouroboric plundering
The holocaust starts quickening
And yet the horde is lingering

It’s a complete catastrophe
Just ask the man-in-the-street
Maintain our feigned neutrality
And undisturbed tranquility

We hear the distant thundering
The echoes of the clamoring
And bloody hands are slaughtering
Still not disturbs our slumbering

We will keep our liberties
Safe between parenthesis
Close the blinds and back to sleep
Eulogize our deities
