HAWKWIND:   Choose Your Masques

Choose Your Masques

They have handed out the weapons,
and your armour's ready too
But the most important item
has been left up to you

You must make a firm decision
and once it's made you'll find
That the role that you have chosen
can entirely fill your mind

For the mask you have selected
Stands for Chaos or for Law
And you cannot take it off now
'til you're no longer in the war

Choose your masks the ranks are forming
Choose your masks the day is dawning
Choose your masks
and choose the side that you'll be on
and learn the words of your new song
for the battle will be long

Dream Worker

"I have come.
but I do not choose now
to do what I came to do"

"Navigation Computer report:
Orbital status now maintained
Target zone vectors logged in
The Tube is now ready"

"Please swallow your Blue Dreamer,
and place the helmet on your head".

Can you hear the lights approaching?
There's a sudden rush of sound
You laugh but no-one's joking
The Dreamer's turned you round
And now there's no distraction
You've slipped the noose of fate
Your dreams are now in colour
You've reached your future state
You've reached your future state
You've reached your future state......

Arrival In Utopia

We dreamt of golden shining towers
Of lazy days and thrilling hours
Fields of wonder, streets so fair
Of amber ships which sailed
Through the air

Dreamed of steel and glass and wire
Of days of wine and nights of fire
Dreamt of dogs that talked like boys
Of girls who flew, of unnamed joys

And now our dreams are true
We don't know what to do
For we don't like it here
There's nothing for us to fear
Bored mindless here in Utopia
Here in Utopia

Utopia

Utopia, Utopia, Utopia
Welcome to Utopia
Planet of your wildest dreams
Where everybody drives a Cadillac car
And the streets are paved with hamburgers
And the rivers run with Watney's draught Red Barrel

Utopia, where all your needs are catered for
Anticipated, calculated
All your wants are monitored,
Programmed, computer formulated
We know you will be very happy here
Nobody has complained

Yet......

Silver Machine

I just took a ride
in a silver machine
and I'm still feeling mean
I got a silver machine
Do you want to ride
see yourself going by
other side of the sky
Well I got a silver machine
It flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your Zodiac sign
It flies out of a dream
It's anti-septically clean
You're gonna know where I've been
In my silver machine

Void City

Solitary Mind Games

Unbelieving
Non-receiving
Mind is in a Void
Unforgiven
Body driven
Striving to avoid

Anger glowing
Can't help knowing
Hiding from the pain
Everlasting
Grains of Truth are
Gnawing at his brain

Now he wonders
Fears but wonders
Where it all will end
Never certain
Far from certain
Can the future mend?

Conscience torn out
Doesn't know how
He will ever find
Peace of mind
Warlike visions
Torment all his kind

Fahrenheit 451

In Lexington they're going to burn
The Library of Congress for charity
Round it's funeral pyre the flames will churn
As night and winter's darkness spurn
And threaten with their clarity

See the flames they're burning up
Burning so bright, Fahrenheit Fahrenheit 451

Fahrenheit 451
The fun has just begun, Fahrenheit 451

Oh see the pages all catching fire
See the building shimmering now
It was like this when witches reared
Against the stake, we stood and peered
At such Aladin's caves of air
Oh I wish you could have seen us there
Spreading all around that funeral pyre
Watching the flames burn higher and higher

Fahrenheit 451, Fahrenheit 451
The fun has just begun, Fahrenheit 451

Fahrenheit 451, Fahrenheit 451
The burning has just begun
It's like a mushroom cloud on a sun
Fahrenheit 451

The fire's fierce theatre draws herds of folk
All willing to be hypnotised
Anemones of flames and smoke
Enchant us so we gladly choke

Fahrenheit 451, Fahrenheit 451
The fun has just begun,
Fahrenheit 451

The Scan

Waiting For Tomorrow

Moon streaming through the trees
I wonder what this means
Clouds forming into swords
Shining like I've never seen

Waiting for tomorrow
Hiding from tomorrow
Waiting for tomorrow
Hide from all our sorrows

Words written in the sky
Tell me, could this be a dream?
Silently, pilots are circling
Waiting for the unforeseen

Red alert goes through the world
The heavens are opening
Run to the shelter nearest you
Our planet's running out of steam

Waiting for tomorrow
Hiding from tomorrow
Waiting for tomorrow
Hide from all our sorrows

Moon turning red, trees are dead
I wonder what this means
Clouds have changed to sheets of mist
Like I've never seen

Waiting for tomorrow
Hiding from tomorrow
Waiting for tomorrow
Hide from all our sorrows

Stars are fading from the sky
Tell me, could this be a dream?
Silently, pilots land
Waiting for the unforeseen...
