lyrics

Technology could feed our greed
through kinder means
And lasting peace crept up on us
like rust on idle machines
Weapon's worth declined to where
they were abandoned in the fields
And I'd have never found old soldier
had I not explored the thorns in which he lay concealed

Grease and art, piece and part
He was restored
By day I worked beneath his shade
At night, I slept aboard
I learned old soldier's form and function
Science now a fire in my hands
This dream delivered to my door
soon breathed the blue sky though turbofans

Borne across oceans
Riding the wind like a cloud
Or racing through space on a nuclear explosion
On a backdrop of nebular shroud

Technology could feed our greed through kinder means.
