That world I saw when I was young
Was never meant to last
Infinities of time and space
Not true as time burns past
That world of kings and princesses
And castles midst the mead
Was home to all my truant days
The place my soul would feed
That world with doves and daffodils
Emblazoned in my mind
While all around me life devolved
Into a frenzied kind
This world pounces on its victims
This world lays its souls to waste
This world spends its time in shadows
This world has no couth or taste
This world preys on every addict
This world masquerades as sweet
This world leaves the righteous homeless
This world starves you in the street
This world racketeers and rapes
This world charges by the dream
This world ambushes the children
This world is too cold to redeem
