Mindtraveller - 2, Neo Tokio

Megalopolis wants growing whenever,
Even she was full of wealth and honor,
Swallowing lots of loser and goner,
But she's still growing and stops it never.

Megalopolis wants flowing forever,
She washed away people into ruined darkness,
She washed away people from blessed happiness,
But she's still flowing and stops it never.

Yes, people were tired to live in noisy light,
Love was too gloomy, heavy and sticky,
All bonds worked as only restriction to self.

See, people hoped to live in silent night,
Truth was too weak, faith was too picky,
Loneliness was the only way to guard self.
