Before, After and Beyond - Galahad

As we transcend the realms of mere mortality

Our souls released as we salute infinity

Visions like these exist in our minds

Chasing our dreams, forever, all time

Part Two: Heaven Was And Will Be

Past life fascinations

Meddling with the spirits

Seance and science

Similar or separate

Strange ways, in the old days

Looking back with affection

(and a wry smile!)

We’ve seen it all before

And I guess we’ll see it again

Trying to be so clever

Beating the natural at its own game

We’ll never build a perfect world

We’ll never build a perfect world

Before, after and beyond

Looking to the future

Planning, speculating

Peculiar priorities

Not always in order

Utopian ideals

Dreams of Nirvana

(heaven was and will be!)

We’ve seen it all before

And I guess we’ll see it again

Trying to be so clever

Beating the natural at its own game

We’ll never build a perfect world

We’ll never build a perfect world

Before, after and beyond

Dereliction of our duties

In current situations

Half-hearted lip service

Of limited duration

By those who

Have the power to

Help us to

Overcome our

Worldly problems

And solve them

Once and for all

We’ve seen it all before

And I guess we’ll see it again

We’re trying to be so clever

Beating the natural at it’s own game

We’ll never build a perfect world

We’ll never build a perfect worid

Before, after and beyond

We’ll never build a perfect world

Whatever happened to that perfect world?

Before, alter and beyond

Past Imperfect

Present Imperfect

Future Imperfect

Forever Imperfect
