ignorance is strength

blindness becomes the vision of our time
the whole world before the idol seems to fall
the weather's in accord with a changed clime

once war was war and crime was simply crime
but that we are told is not the case at all
blindness becomes the vision of our time

a savage epoch calls forth savage rhyme
the great ones though are queueing for a ball
the weather's in accord with a changed clime

new monsters now each day crawl from the slime
of centuries of lies at a trumpet's call
blindness becomes the vision of our time

no need now with hard hands the pump to prime
the waters cascade now like a huge wall
the weather's in accord with a changed clime

if forced to silence we cannot the truth mime
the brass band echoes in the giant hall
blindness becomes the vision of our time
the weather's in accord with a changed clime
