High civilization
(1991)
Crying in the streets,
they run for their lives.
How can you lead them to heaven,
they don’t realize?
Children of the night,
how far can we fall
that which we say is forever,
ain’t no time at all.
Father and the son,
not too young to be old,
reach out for each other when the world goes cold.
Feel so good to be home.
Are you ready for
my high civilization?
Are you ready for
my high civilization?
Are you ready for
my high civilization?
Civilization.
Everything for us to see.
The ultimate society.
Keeper of the sword,
you fight for your rights.
How can you live for the hour
when there’s no yesterday?
Dying in the streets.
Your number, your name.
All that which keeps us together
is bringing us the pain.
Thunder of the guns,
comes the criminal mind
working for the power of the evil eye.
We are never alone.
Uncivilized.
My high civilization.
Are you ready for
my high civilization?
Are you ready for
my high civilization?
Civilization.
New York, Paris, Tokyo,
Vienna to Berlin.
Baby, don’t know you.
L. A., Rome, Afghanistan
Cairo to Iran,
no city can hold you.
There’s no one in Avalon to show you
Minutes into seconds, are you ready or the end?
My high civilization.
Are you ready for
my high civilization?…
