Returning Dawn

I decided to scrap the previous too obvious song that was almost finished and did this philosophical one for the ten year celebration of KYRPÄ instead. Sort of takes me back...

Ten score thousand years, ten thousand lives
All who came before me are but dust and ashes
Ten times ten thousand years ago man began
His beginning was feeble, just as he is now

Returning dawn
Observing the rising sun
Returning dawn
Observing blinding rays

Death is the muse of all human endeavour

Waking to understanding, a rebirth of man
Returning dawn; as a child reaches out
Transhuman succubus is there, future laid bare
Incubi of retardation hold them in check

What has been crushed must stay crushed
What has been achieved must stay achieved
The war against ignorance is eternal
New challenges await, why let them wait?
