The Beginning and the End - Fanfarlo

We will have to cross the ocean

It’s just a price we have to pay

Standard trustees know what’s good for you and me

There is gold beneath the ashes

No matter what Ida says

There is a roaring sleep, a pulse we have to find

And I dream of Zoroaster

Sailing to the Caspian sea

With its shiny hull in the fog and morning light

We can build temples for our fires

And set the world ablaze

Why not?

After all it’s the way we chose — the beginning and the end

Send it all back to the Rockefeller trust

We will have to slay a dragon

Yes to open up its veins

Bleed it dry and leave it by deserted roads

We will have to dry the ocean

Because the blood runs thick beneath

Take to arms, defend their notions

When the blood runs thick and deep

And we have mouths to feed and Utopia to reach

We can build temples for our fires

And set the world ablaze

Why not?

After all it’s the way we chose — the beginning and the end

It’s all we were ever made of — the beginning and the end

Send it all back to the Rockefeller trust
