The Unknown Door

"I am speaking to you from the Cabinet Room at 10 Downing Street

This morning, the British Ambassador in Berlin handed the German

Government a final note, stating that unless we heard from them

By eleven o'clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw

Their troops from Poland, a state of war would exist between us."

Who should find this unknown door?

Shielded from the light

Long before a world at war

Beyond the veil of night

Unaware

Anywhere, is there still time?

Won't be long from this moment on

With two of one kind

And all we leave behind

In corridors and aisles

That fade across the open miles

The road you walk alone

Will lead the way back home

The time is now

To send it out

It's in your hands

The world you're waiting for

See for real

In unlit fields

The wasteland is out of bounds no more

The hit and run begins

Depends on fair weather wings

Held by the sun

Consider it done

They found you

This island now, as it sinks

Will crown its permanent king

Make no mistake

Unfortunate fates surround you

The final then the firstA separate universe, the sky reversed

When satellites ignited day for night

Whatever lessons then we never learned

Years roll by and won't return

You know there's nothing now can shape them again

Danger in places where you've never known

And all your life is not your own

Don't ever turn your back or plan on losing track

From land to sea, you steal the best of me

A separate universe, the sky reversed

When satellites ignited day for night

Whatever lessons then we never learned

Years roll by, they won't return

A perfect storm of gold on this battleground

With forces unfolding, there's a price to pay

For some, there's more than words can say

No protection, lethal chemistry still in me

Can't, without this in my head what do I need?

Something I can take, making it what I feel

The wrong way down a one-way street, that's guaranteed

Fly from the wasteland to keep me here

Many are the times when I've strayed

The changes made, hesitating

With all profanities, the manacled insanities together in line

Anytime a solid moon, a bullet wound, a sudden kind of valentine

Fly from the wasteland to keep me here

Many are the times when I've strayed

To stop myself shaking

Stay unafraid, am I to find you everywhere?

Fly where you can to anyone thereLeft alone without reason

Remind yourself you're only halfway home

Is there someone else I'm recalling

Made us forget, still I'm centred in

Another world of you I never knew

Left alone with no feeling

And tell yourself you'll take some convincing

Ever since a greater something was turned on its side

We've been yearning for that other door to our lives

Open wide

Mortal strangers, oversold

Opinions remain untold

Agender changes no one knows

Arranging more altered egos now

Find a keeper to call my name

Defining what I became

Famous factions all the same

In visions that blind the daylight

Hiding behind the wasteland sky

The hardest set of emotions

The ghost of all that you made

Never fadesThe time is now

To send it out

It's in your hands

The world you're waiting for

Sea revealed

In unlit fields

The higher ground

Is out of bounds no more

As before

This inner distance

With every morning

No longer so unsure

Where again

This revelation

Began the elevation

I could not ignore

So tell me how

With each new day

We get by

On our own anyway

As we are

A time for grieving

To still believe again

The future faced alone

As before

A life for living

Beyond imagining

The road ahead once more

When time and tide

Fall away and far

We'll abide

Among the stars

And in the world

You've been waiting for

Who should find

This unknown door?
