At one time man’s accomplishments seemed so impressive
Men would slap each other on the back and offer congratulations
Progress, technological advancement, commercial victories
Empires that were built brick by brick with blood and sweat
Crumbling, decaying beyond all hope of repair and renovation
Will they really be mourned now that they are being exposed
The destruction they have wreaked, the slaves they have broken
The misery for many, while the few lavish themselves in riches
The end is truly nigh for the corrupt, the mercenary, the greedy
The beginning is near for those who want to live in peace and security
To show proper care for their home planet and all it’s creatures
For those who want all to thrive and live a full and rewarding life
Who is right to rule? that was the question raised long ago
A judicial record has been established and is on public record
Every form of rulership has come and gone, been tried and failed
As forecast, the result has been pain and groaning for all creation
But as in any court case – there is a limited period to argue a case
None of this has been time wasted, for now it’s not just we who’ll know
There is a judicial precedent that has been established once and for all
Never again in the entire universe will this question need to be answered
For if anyone ever challenges who should rule and determine right and wrong
A great cry will come from Planet Earth, from those who witnessed for themselves
That so often power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely
How intelligent creatures dominate and injure each other without remorse
The beginning is near, the start of a new way of life, a new way things work
He says that within one thousand years all of the damage will be undone
If there’s one thing that brings me peace and calm in the darkest hour
It’s the thought of every creature in the universe being content and at peace
