The time is late
We have found the way
But it isn’t where we can go
We want to turn toward the new
But the old surrounds us
The way is up but there are no stairs
Yet we can see the stars
So far out of reach
The trolls are frightened and angry
Among the old around us
They hit and shove
Shouting nonsense
How did they get in here?
Why do we have to fight forgotten wars
While ignorance kills our future
Ancient greed and hate
Are the lock upon the gate
That holds us here
