Hawkwind - Fall Of Earth City Lyrics
news ahd drifted on the wind of many minds that this was to be anoccassion of great importance. For it was said by some that Earth Cityhad uncovered a single time sleeper from the time before.Although the cryptic writings upon his tomb were now faded beyonddecipherable reading, it was said, by the disembodied members of theruling kind, that the entombed was from that time on Earth before thecity stretched its metal web from pole to pole leaving green things onlyin the wells of immortal minds.Upon the third revolution after its arrival, the tomb that slept withoutlife was removed for inspection. The day was programmed for a clear domeabove, with a mild breeze wafting from the central weather post. Below,throngs of class three occupants were gathering from various sectors toobserve the opening. As per standard procedure, their data inputstations were fed appropriate propaganda so that their reports wouldcoincide with what the rulers had predetermined.And so it was on that day of opening, his spirit did appear and confuseonce again. It was evident to all that what lay within was not of mortalcomposure. Thoughts emanating from deep within its dimensionless caveconveyed this belief to all within the medi-dome.What is this appariition now amongst our kind?Quickly thereafter, all pressure was released from within the stillness.Earth City, unknowingly at that time, was about to enter a new phase ofits existence.Violent quaking began to shake the towers of sector 63. Manifestationsof melting spead its wings over the structure until once again, ancientsoil kissed the sky.And the beginning of the end swept all that was into its eternal grasp.______________________________________________________________________
