Take me through the centuries to supersonic years 

Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears 

All I have to give you is a love that never dies 

The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes 

Mother goose is calling me back to her silver womb 

Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb 

Seventh hundredth unicorn is waiting in the sky

A symptom of the universe is a love that never dies 

Take my hand my child of love come step inside my tears

Swim the magic ocean I've been crying all these years

With our love we'll ride away into eternal skies

A symptom of the universe is a love that never dies 

(art by Shay Davis)

Oh my child of love's creation, come and step inside my dreams 

In your eyes I see no sadness, you are all that loving means 

Take my hand and we'll go riding through the sunshine from above 

We'll find happiness together in the summer skies of love 

(Black Sabbath - Symptom Of The Universe) 

 

"toppled again

eyes firm in a weakened stare

back here again

holed up in this warm room

again, again

eyes closed, it burns in me

come close again

sedate me then, sedate me then

that brilliant white smile

takes me away

that brilliant white smile

blows me away

from the top of this weakened wall

I stare down on everything

is this for real?

Everything is fading away

straight to the door

sedate me then, sedate me then...

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,

Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
(William W. Purkey)

“When a man tells you

that he got rich through hard work,

ask him: 'Whose?'”

“Every one of us is,

in the cosmic perspective,

precious.

If a human disagrees with you,

let him live.

In a hundred billion galaxies,

you will not find another.”

"The voices in my head may not be real,

but they have some good ideas!"

"Thousands of years ago,

these hunters found a backwater planet.

They taught humans how to build,

and were worshiped as gods.

 

Every hundred years,

the gods would return.

And when they did,

they would expect a sacrifice.

 

Humans were used

to breed the ultimate prey.

The hunters would battle

with these great serpents

to prove themselves

worthy to carry the mark.

 

But if the hunters lost,

they made sure nothing survived.

An entire civilization wiped out overnight."
