Waltari - Part 4: The Struggle For Life And Death Of Knowledge LYRICS

(Instrumental)
Prologue
The planet of death and damnation. The dumping ground of people with
weak souls, who cause
war and starvation. The year 1995. John Doe, one of the inhabitants, is
living in a state of
distress, knowing that he is dependent on the computerbrain who is
guiding the state with no
destination. The brave new people equal progress, they say, but the
ordinary John Doe has
never been taught how to survive alone! And he doesn't dare to think!
However, the
computer-brain has a special feature to act gentle and to sympathize
with human mind, after
all - humans have feelings. In the midst of all this there is also an
angel, a shining creature, the
light of life who can see inside a man. It is the angels mission to
encourage and cheer up the
normal mortal. She sees the pain of John Doe.
This symphony tells about the struggle between these three spirits:
Part 1 - Misty Dreariness
Misty dreariness prevails. Gloominess is sucking up John Doe's strenght.
He is strolling
around his limited territory, dreaming about something that might let
him out of this dead
end street... But life is in rut. Agony is tearing him to pieces...
