THIS TALE OF OLD
I SHALL BEGIN...
IS A TALE TRUTH
IS A TALE I LIVE...
BOTTLE OF GLASS
WASHED UP ON THE SHORE...
NOTE INSIDE READ....
GO SOUTH INSTEAD...
YOU ARE THE ONE
SO FOLLOW THE SUN...
AND SO I SET OFF
ON A TRIP OVERSEAS....
NOW YOU HAVE SEEN
THE LAST OF ME......
THE SEA WAS HIGH
AND SO WERE MY SAILS....
SAILN' INTO DARKNESS
MOONBEAMS FOR TRAILS....
THIS LAND I SEEK
HAS WATERY FEET...
COMES SLOW BY DAY
AND THEN BY WEEK.....
I SEE AN ISLAND..
HER NAME UNKNOWN...
WE SHALL MEET
AND CALL IT OUR HOME...
AND LIVE OFF THE CORN.....
FROM TIME TO TIME
IT MAKES ME THINK...
WHERE WOULD WE BE
WITHOUT THE SEA....
FROM LESSONS I'VE LEARNED...
THIS MUCH I KNOW...
AN ISLAND AT SEA
IS WHERE YOU'LL FIND ME...
PROBABLY UP A TREE...
LIKE A MONKEY....
***THE BELLS***
THE BELLS RANG OUT...
THE BELLS RANG CLEAR...
THE BELLS MAKE A SOUND..
A SOUND SO SINCERE.

A STILLNESS PERSISTS...
DURING ONLY WHEN ONE LETS GO
THE FINAL BLOW... AND
AND EXHALES THE EXHAUST
FROM CHEMICAL RUINS....
SO WHAT DO YOU DO???..
I SAY TO YOU..
YOU SAY TO ME..
I SAY TO YOU
CAN YOU REVERSE THE
ATTACK ON HUMANMINDS
AND NATURES KIND....
FROM THE TALLEST TRESS
ON THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN...
TO THE DEEPEST SEA
AND UNDERWATER FOUNTAINS..
SO TRY A LITTLE KINDERNESS...
TELL SAY GOES A LONG WAY...
BE THY A FRIEND,
AND BE AWARE,
LOOK AROUND... ALWAYS BE
FAIR...
CAUSE THIS PLACE,
WE CALL HOME
IS THE ONLY ONE,
THE LONLY ONE ...
AND BE TODAY,
WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS..
REALIZE THIS NOW
LET THE CHILDREN SING...
FOR THAT TALL TREE
AND UNDER WATER FOUNTAIN.......
OR THE TRAIL TO ME
ON TOP OF A MOUTAIN

DMITRI(C)'97
A FURIOUS TIDE
OF LIFE STEALING ART....
RICHES TO RAGES
AND MILES APART...
THE RAIDING WIND...
AND NEXT OF KIN...
RECOVERING SCARS ..
LIKE MEN FROM MARS....
RACE WITH A CYCLONE ...
ON THE HORIZON..
A TWISTER
UNLEASHED....
THE GAIL IT CRASHED...
BUT NOW IT'S PAST....
AND ALL'S AT EASE...
AND ALL THAT BREATHES...
AT NATURES KNEES...
IS A SOLEMN BREEZE...
A MAZE OF MESS...
3-D PRESSED...
A NAIL, A CHORD,
A BADGE, SOME FLESH...
THIS TIMES FOR REAL...
NOT LIKE THE REST....
BUT, LUCKY FOR ME ...
I SAW IT ON TV!
