It Seems They Were Defective (1977)

A certain race walks the earth on which we stand

Talking, breathing and observing the sights we see everyday

But they are different in that they are not the common man

And they try to lead the righteous individual astray

Some decide to follow and find it is difficult

They have no leaders nor do followers become their companions

Lost and with no mind nothing can he consult

Finding direction useless, rivers destine less and bottomless canyons

The individual finds his reactions meaningless and slow

His mind is no longer helpful in making a decision

Finding himself in a labyrinth with no where to go

Lost as if he were in a unfamiliar futuristic television

They are speaking, walking, running and talking like you

The imitations are a frightening mockery with an uncertain end

Leaving and escaping is definitely impossible to do

You seemed to be trapped in what you wished would happen

Run from the real world and you find an infinite road

It comes back to where it began and starts over again

Step into the gardens and observe the seeds you have sowed

They are growing into troubles others cannot possibly mend

That you must wait for all their differences to be forgotten

Like the apples eaten from the the trees they have fallen

Remember how many were discarded because they were rotten

And in the stagnant wind remains the scent of fragrant pollen

A reminder of the changing season passes through the soul

Foretelling of a reminiscence that must not remain

A barren landscape reflects a plague has taken its toll

The individual showing a prolonged amount of strain

The minds are beginning to weaken dramatically

No creator can resolve what nothing has created at first

People proclaim imminent disaster speaking emphatically

Regress into a picture less black bubble about to burst

A race without an empty mind cannot survive

A vast majority fades away into a blackness like night

Like a Hell with no fire and then the last five

Defective and useless in a world absent of light 

Diminishing kingdoms with non existent life

It's becoming strangely evident that the race was not receptive

To that which involves constant pain and strife

Supportive evidence indicating that it seems they were defective
