Ark - Nowhere's Ark lyrics

I can see storm clouds gather ahead Winter's upon us, the summer is dead I had a vision to get out of here Seldom religion had entered my mind Tried turning an eye, but the eye wasn't blind I had a mission, the omens were clear Over and over and over again Paradise lost to the errors of men Fading the rainbow and losing the gold To strengthen the weakness, born of old Voices inside me say, "you understand, There's plague in the soil, there's danger on land Safe is the water, hope is the sea" "Seek out survivors, select two by two Take one empty vessel for your human zoo" "Yours is the conscience", the voices tell me Colder and colder the stark winds of change Blowing old memories out of our range Crushing resistance to peddle revenge A natural holocaust, a natural end Survival pulls the people to the water The water to the river, to the open sea Locked away, the secret to the future The future lies within the hand that holds the key Shall I tell, or hide away for ever The knowledge I may never have to give or take Choosing life, the sister over brother One above the other for the other's sake I'm hoping, I'm praying that I may wake up soon Should I take, the crippled or the healthy The poor or the wealthy, the black or white Mine to make, the clinical incision The surgical division of wrong or right Shall I tell, or hide away for ever The knowledge I may never have to give or take Choosing life, the sister over brother One above the other for the other's sake I'm rolling, I'm swaying, I turn to meet the end Now that I'm staying, this is who I send
