Crazy preachers of our doom
Telling us there is no room. Not enough for all mankind And the seas of time are running dry. Don't they know it's a lie... Man is born with the will to survive, He'll not take no for an answer. He will get by, somehow he'll try, He won't take no, never let go, no... I hear them talk about Kingdom Come, I hear them discuss Armageddon... They say the hour is getting late, But I can still hear someone say, This is not the way... (repeat) |

The sun has left the sky
Now you can close your eyes Leave the world behind until tomorrow The dream is like a song It leads you on and on The piper plays his tune so you must follow So far beyond the sky Not knowing how or why You realize this feeling is forever And though another day May steal your dreams away You and the song will always stay together |

Wake-up,
Wake-up, wake-up Signs tell the time you're wasting. Wake up wake-up, wake-up Life you will find is changing. O the city life, endless confusion. Hanging on too tight, to this illusion... I'm not what I appear to be. I couldn't take the honesty, It seemed to be... too easy for reality. O the city life, what have I come to? Faces in the night, friendly to fool you. I always try to justify, the way I am and wonder why I couldn't be... the same to you I am to me. |

Nude's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. The
postman muttered something about wishing he could go too and handed over a yellow envelope. It was a command long overdue that called for healthy, young men. In reply to your request, please find... I hereby protest. To the ways and means you use you know... I cannot refuse. So I'll take this vow of Loyalty. Fight for the right, You have said, To be free. When this time has run its course, I must... Live without remorse. For the deeds I'm bound to do, I know... it's all the same to you. But I won't forget the memory... Taking a life, for a life... to be free. Nude's life revolved around orders. He found himself pushed and pulled onto a crowded deck of uniformed figures who shared the same expressionless faces. Loved ones stood anxiously on the pier as the transport faded into separating mist. Water and night seemed one. Nude was going to war... Thunder cracked. Ramps hit the beach and countless boots assaulted the shore. His heart punding, Nude stumbled headlong into the undergrowth in a desperate search for refuge. Sheets of rain drenched the sunless forest as the skies opened raging down on the tiny island. Panic-stricken, Nude staggered forward and fell unconscious. Raindrops spattered from the trees onto Nude's face. Startled and confused, Nude listened in the humid silence he was alone and had no idea where he was. Worst of all, he didn't know what had become of his Regiment. The setting sin left Nude with the growing darkness of his fears. He made camp and slept with dreams of a dawn rescue, unaware that his Unit had already left the island. In wartime, one less soldier is hardly noticeable. Seasons turned with time. Nude had given up the search for his Unit but continued to move through the jungle, bayonet poised, as if a thousand eyes were upon him. Home was a cave in a hidden lagoon with abundant vegetation and fresh springs. The highest point of the island provided shelter from annual monsoon floods and sanctuary for his soul. His military duties consisted of a monthly visit to the mountain top whereupon he ceremoniously croaked the national anthem and fired one precious bullet into the air. In the loneliness he endured, Nude found an inner strength that flowed with the rhythm of instinct. |
