The Teacher
(2018)
There once was a teacher of great renown
Whose words were like tablets of stone
To navigate the sea of sadness
To shield the fragile mind from madness
Gather your goods and follow me
As all around you perish
Well, I was only a child of the city
My parents were children of inmigrant stock
So we followed, as followers go
Over a mountain with a napkin of snow
And ate the berries and roots that grow
Along the timberline
Deeper and deeper
The dreamer of love
Sleeps on a quilt of stars
It´s cold, It´s cold
Time and abundance thickened his step
So the teacher divided in two
One half ate the forests and the fields
The other half sucked all the moisture from the clouds
And we, like fools, were amazed by the power of his appetite
Deeper and deeper
The dreamer of love
Sleeps on a quilt of stars
It's Cold
All that remains of the followers' fate
Are the remnants of charred photographs
The teacher is buried under rubble stone
And the wind reads his words and it laughs
Deeper and deeper
The dreamer of love
Sleeps on a quilt of stars
