about

'Lord Of The Flies' inspired, taken to the sky

lyrics

True friend I still see you in that, calm blue tidal pool.
I laughed when you trusted me. Couldn’t know what would come to be.
We took care for the little uns, they played and had their fun.
You warned how people could be, without rules on that rocky quay.
Hide, but we cannot see. It’s part of you and me.

Choir sang their wild song. Young men, no right and wrong.
Tend the fire and we wait for a sign, but those ghosts got in our minds.
We feared what we could not see. It was part of you and me.


The savages were circling, the beast comes from the air,
I let you fall, let you down, no time to say a prayer.


What would the grownups say, you pleaded on the way,
I could not answer then, all reason slipped away.


The savages were circling, the beast comes from the air,
I let you fall, your shattered shell, they caught you in their snare.
The painted fools, all black and green, sticks were meant as toys.
So long ago, forgive me friend, we were only boys.
