A tragety haunts the human race
Confused adrift in eternal space
All history eraced beyond trace
We are flotsam on lives storm
In lights redemptive uplifting grace
Between the dark and light we're torn

Sweat and tears in pouring rain
Sacrifice the other to blame
Proud old legacy marred in shame
We are flotsam on life's storm
Mystery roads all end the same
Between the light and dark we're torn

Darkness born from rational view
Spreads in serene a cloudy hue
Multi-verse minutia you
We are flotsam on life's storm
Constant sifting false or true
Between the dark and light we're torn

Miraculous light creations beam
A colourful vision for earthly scene
Well honed at heart of cosmic scheme
We are flotsam on life's storm
To bloom anew within our being
Between the light and dark we're torn

From dormant depth to surface free
Angelic beasts on turbulent sea
Where rival notions compete to be
We are flotsam on life's storm
Our human values hung out to plea
Between the dark and light we're torn

Healthy cultures wither and die
Language identity blood sucked dry
Oppressors eye betrays truths lie
We are flotsam on life's storm
Remnants reserect faint battle cry
Between the light and dark we're torn

Humanity aye to events the slave
Salvation power and pleasure crave
Our blood for cause all path do pave
We are flotsam on life's storm
Generational gob on freedoms grave
Between the dark and light we're torn

Prodigy child well groomed to be
Sharpened thorn on military tree
Blind composer of mothers elegy
We are flotsam on life's storm
Heroic Victor with victims flee
Between the light and dark we're torn

As immortality with religion fades
No eternal love for ethical trades
Nor bigots paradise or tryst with hades
We are flotsam on life's storm
The shadows shimmer in baffled shades
Between the light and dark we're torn

In nature's womb a darkness dwells
A thirst for light finds pious wells
A quest to quench and fears to quell
We are flotsam on life's storm
Our mind entwined in providence spell
Between the dark and light we're torn

Unique in thought individual mind
Ones reality to another blind
Elusive self hesitates to find
We are flotsam on life's storm
Collective conscious threads mankind
Between the light and dark we're torn

T'is self who stifles internal scope
Of sunny peak and slippery slope
When darkness erodes external hope
We are flotsam on life's storm
So ease your neighbours heavy yoke
Between the dark light we're torn
