The Lost Cycle – Rick Wakeman

The spaceman came from time unknown

His knowledge way ahead of man

To seek the cycle starting here

The evolution plan

Each day he watched the world evolve

Eternal life for him to prove

Watching man grow powerful

Detroying life with every move

The spaceman’s world a burning mass

Destroyed by his own kind

A sole survivor lost in space

A growing world must find

He saw the birth of hate and war

Of death before our life was born

With human fear the spaceman saw,

And changed from human form

His voyage led back to Nemo’s world

A peaceful start of human form

He knew one day he’d leave again

To witness other planet’s born

He watches helpless, tearful,

As the world embittered grows

Moving closer to the end of earth

The spaceman only knows

The spaceman only knows the truth

He’s seen it from eternal youth

Man will always die.
