Travelling in the company of Elves

TRAVELLING IN THE COMPANY OF ELVES

I had a dream good people

I had a dream so clear

Of the end of everything we had held dear

Laid waste by the ravages of senseless graceless creed

Forty million bloodsuckers a ravenous craving greed

It could be politicians, it could be you or me

That built a machine that has been a soul-grieving misery

And through the ages one can see the action of the mind

That fenced the land and forced the man to make a world less kind

And in my dream a voice it spoke, it was the voice of All

It cried out to the everyone it made a wonderous call

It called into the hearts of every man, woman and child

And woke the star of who we are that has been so long defiled 

And that star it touched the shining and it shone brightly too

And Elves of all descriptions appeared I surely tell you true

It sailed on through the torrents a great and timely Ark

And through the transformations embarked it was our craft

To beyond the Western oceans where Kronos, wide awake

Was splashing in the water and in a loud voice spake

Then the sea swelled up and then it broke over the land

Whereopon the shining boat appeared at our command

Here comes the one who slumbers, here comes the one who wakes

It is returning Arthur Futurus, the King reborn from crystal caves

Awakening at the hour, at our hour of peril

To sort a messed up World, polluted and well meddled

History turns now on it's head and then I woke myself

I'm making plans for travelling in the company of Elves
