Tesla - Unitopia

Born at the stroke of midnight

Darkness was filling the skies

Thunder and lightning

The cry of a child

The birth of a mind that would rise

Son of a man of faith he’d find

Blessed with enquiring mind

Troubled and tested

Obsessive, compulsive

Numbers divided by three of a kind

Oh how I loved her

Nothing else mattered

She was my purpose in life

Clear was her message

The light from her eyes

Colorful beams of light

Baubles and jewels, repulsive and crude

Fear of the others unclean

Childhood remembered

Balanced and centered

Order from chaos precisely pursued

Oh how I loved her

Nothing else mattered

She was my purpose in life

Clear was her message

The light from her eyes

Colourful beams of light

Alternating currents and radio waves

Father of the art of Telautomatics

Unusual signals, abnormal life

The ranting and raving of a brilliant fanatic

Machinery driven by a power obtained

From any point in the universe

Fluorescent light globes and cosmic rays

Now let me present to you ‘The Egg of Columbus'

Like a beggar clothed in purple, that people take for king

Are all the theories and formulae, the downward spiraling

Fascinates and dazzles, causing all to go blind

With underlying errors, but a trick of the mind

Confusing metaphysics with pursuit of the truth

Clawing at the rubble for the fountain of youth

Alternating, compensating, re-create the soul

Madman, revolutionary, all parts of the whole

We are, we are… all parts of the whole, all parts of the whole (x2)

Showmanship and magic tricks, conjuring the dream

Unending thirst for knowledge carries us downstream

Alienating, complicating, with no self control

All for one and none for all, all parts of the whole

We are, we are… all parts of the whole, all parts of the whole (x2)

Oh how I loved her

Nothing else mattered

She was my purpose in life

Clear was her message

The light from her eyes

Colorful beams of light

Where’s the ghost in the machine?

Where’s the life blood for the dream?

Have we missed the opportunity to live forever?

In the next ten thousand years

Will we sow and reap with tears?

Does it matter that we reach each new endeavour?
