**** When all the laughter dies in sorrow<br>And the tears have risen to a flood<br>When all the wars have found a cause<br>In human wisdom and in blood<br>Do you think they'll cry in sadness<br>Do you think the eye will blink<br>Do you think they'll curse the madness<br>Do you even think they'll think<br>When all the great galactic systems<br>Sigh to a frozen halt in space<br>Do you think there will be some remnant<br>Of beauty of the human race<br>Do you think there will be a vestige<br>Or a sniffle or a cosmic tear<br>Do you think a greater thinking thing<br>Will give a damn that man was here <br><br>... wahre Worte. <br><br>Zur Musik ist bei dieser Einleitung in die Elegy-Suite nichts zu sagen, da sie nicht existiert. Aber die Worte allein genügen auch. |
