about

This song refers to the ancient cave paintings in France, reputedly over 10,000 years old.
It compares the art and architecture of the past..(.and the legacy left to us)...with the current Age of technology and information.

lyrics

LASCAUX
INTRO

V1
Five decades of thousand years, your paintings on the wall
Line the caves of LA Rochelle, Mauvais and Lascaux.
Mythic creatures, mammals, spirits – all of them are seen.
The oldest paintings in the World – to us this legacy.

CH
I marvel at your grand designs, your pictures so serene
And now we stand on hostile land, in false idolatry.

INTRO

V2
Stone cathedrals, marble halls give way to shopping malls.
Plastic wraps and takeaways, Six-packs line the stalls.
Micro chips and memory sticks, info technology.
In our homes the satellite beams waves incessantly.

CH
I marvel at your grand designs, your pictures so serene.
And now we stand on hostile land, enslaved by apathy.

SOLO (INTRO TWICE)

REPEAT V1 AND CH
