Worlds in Collision

So map the areas of yesterdays agreements
and remember the divisions of east and west.
When three worlds fought for your heart
and everyone is a collaborator.
There are only levels of cooperation.
And there comes a time when what was wrong becomes right.
And there comes a time when friendly dogs begin to bite.

So go beyond your old obsessions.
We are definitely expecting rain.
The mystery comes closer for those who can maintain.
So all you mothers show your children you're not afraid to die.

So where has this new code come from?
And who wrote this alien beat?
So march to the backwards movement of the drum.
Are you willing, are you willing to pay the price?

What is real, and what is not?
What is here, and what is not?
What is left, and what is right?
What is real, and what is not?

Any world, any where, any people, any one can pay the price.
You are summoned, not invited.
Blue, brown, black, yellow and white.
Go beyond your old obsessions.
I'm not one for half measures.
