Hymn To Life

Timo Tolkki

Sitting here and wondering, watching the seasons going by
Each new answer just brings ten new questions
My eyes have finally opened
Armored human wrecks walking the streets
Longing for a leader to take away their pain
We have not learned anything

Let me live another day
Without sorrow, without shame
Let me feel the wind on my face
Let me feel the sun
And live my days with fun
Let me sing this hymn to life

Molesting and incest
Unloving parents feeding the oven of madness known as 
planet earth
Love turns into prostitution
Embracing into violence
Lovemaking into fucking
Greed kills our humanity, morality our natural needs
Jealousy kills the friendship

I'm sorry but I don't want to be an emperor - that's not my
 business - I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I 
should
Like to help everyone if possible, jew, gentile, black man,
 white. We all want to help one another, human beings are 
like
That.

We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each 
other's misery. Ie don't want to hate and despise one 
another. in
This world there is room for everyone and the good earth is
 rich and can provide for everyone.

The way of life can be free and beautiful.

But we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men's souls - has barricaded the world 
with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.

We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in. 
Oachinery that gives abundance has left us in want. our 
knowledge
Has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind: Me 
think too much and feel too little: more than machinery we 
need
Humanity; more than cleverness we need kindness and 
gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent 
and all will
Be lost.

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer 
together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for
 the goodness
In men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity 
of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions 
throughout the
World, millions of despairing men, women and little 
children, victims of a system that makes men torture and 
imprison
Innocent people. To those who can hear me I say "do not 
despair".

The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed,
 the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress: 
The
Hate of men will pass and dictators die, and the power they
 took from the people, will return to the people and so 
long as
Men die, liberty will never perish...

Soldiers - don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise
 you, enslave you - who regiment your lives, tell you what 
to

Do, what to think and what to feel, who drill you, diet 
you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!

Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, 
with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not 
machines! you
Are not cattle. You are men! you have the love of humanity 
in your hearts. you don't hate - only the unloved hate - 
the
Unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers - don't fight for 
slavery, fight for liberty!

In the seventeenth chapter of saint luke it is written "the
 kingdom of god is within man" - not one man, nor a group 
of men
- But in all men - in you! You the people have the power, 
the power to create machines, the power to create 
happiness! you
The people have the power to make this life free and 
beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure! Then in
 the name of
Democracy let us use that power - let us all unite!!! Let 
us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men
 a
Chance to work, that will give you the future and old age 
and security. By the promise of these things, brutes have 
risen to
Power, but they lie! Dhey do not fulfil their promise, they
 never will! dictators free themselves but they enslave the
People! Low let us fight to fulfil that promise! let us 
fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers,
 to do
Away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight 
for a world of reason, a world where science and progress 
will lead
To all men's happiness.

Soldiers - in the name of democracy, let us all unite!!!
