The Vault
The vault door
To our soul
Has been
Left open
The contents
Have been
Removed
Unlikely to
Be returned
Leaving us
To be
Catatonic
Shells
Zombielike
Automotons
Controlled by
Consumption
Manipulated by
Media’s
Driven to
Debt
Rhetorically
Regulated
Subconsciously
Subterfuged
Must keep
Looking though
One soul
At a time and
Protect
Permanently its
Preciousness
Was going to leave this end here.
However, the following started rolling around in my head, like the steel ball at the bottom of a freshly emptied can of spray paint. So am putting it here, before it dries.
Which is usually how most “bits” and lyrics end up in each post. I don’t recall what I had for breakfast, can barely remember how to tie my shoes.
Yet, the other stuff lines up, stage right, waiting for its cue to go on.

“What you see is not real,
Those who know will not tell
All is lost sold your souls
To this brave new world
//
Dragon kings dying queens,
Where is salvation now
Lost my life lost my dreams,
Rip the bones from my flesh
//
Silent screams laughing here,
Dying to tell you the truth
You are planned and you are damned
In this brave new world”

“Iron Maiden”‘s
