JIMI HENDRIX - Crystal Ball lyrics
rate meAs I looked into my crystal ball...<br />
There was formed a tragedy.<br />
Oh but there's nothing to worry about...<br />
It was just a flash from my memory.<br />
Well it seems that the holiday wheel...,<br />
You know, the one that was between earth<br />
And the moon...well any way, there was<br />
2,000,000 killed...bodies floating in the<br />
Afternoon...<br />
<br />
Explosions, 1,000 or more, announcing<br />
Tidal waves and hurricanes...<br />
And down on earth we lost 3 continents.<br />
Their fiery soul snuffed out by<br />
Nature's ice and rains...<br />
<br />
And pieces of my life...floating,<br />
Still soaring through space...<br />
But my sons and their wives<br />
Landed on mars to start another race...<br />
<br />
As I gazed upon my crystal ball,<br />
There formed a cloud of jealousy.<br />
But there's nothing to feel sad about...<br />
By this time, it's due for only history.<br />
Well, it seems that the chambers of the<br />
Gods were being emptied for good.<br />
Why would such heavenly beings want<br />
To desert earth ? <br />
But as I watched I understood.<br />
<br />
As the clouds turned to a jealous<br />
Green, which was concieved in the heart<br />
Of man...the people didn't respect<br />
The help of the gods. instead they turned against<br />
Immortal man. as they tried to defy, they<br />
Died, into the wicked pits of hell.<br />
<br />
Diana wept a tear after we made love<br />
And said: “my earthly darling, I must bid<br />
You farewell...the fate of your mud brothers ...<br />
As pieces of my life...floating,<br />
Still soaring in space...<br />
She could have been my wife<br />
But her time, I didn't dare wish<br />
To waste.<br />
<br />
As I stared into my crystal ball,<br />
There was formed a tearing of hearts.<br />
Ego armies marched antly onto view<br />
Only to be blown apart.<br />
<br />
As the sun whispered it's secret<br />
Through space...to men thinking the false pride<br />
Opposite...telling them that it was<br />
Such a disgrace to think that men were<br />
The ruler of it. well you know<br />
How the story goes...the sun they thought<br />
Was their circling slave...<br />
Round and round and round the<br />
Table she goes. some carried<br />
The thought right to their grave...<br />
And I smell the scorch of the<br />
Burnt out minds...who searched<br />
For the hurting truth of space. and the<br />
Dizziness they felt inside...<br />
Reflected off the spinning<br />
Slave pebble earth...<br />
<br />
As fragments of my life...<br />
Some floating, some soaring in space<br />
Collections of my soul<br />
Will turn complete only as time will age.<br />
<br />
As my tears drop on my crystal ball,<br />
Magnifies the reflections of christ.<br />
As I blink, his angels take him away.<br />
What he said, man tries to self<br />
?help from god. as reward, he<br />
Wipes our blood from his eyes...<br />
And the cross that he would<br />
Use for his throne represents<br />
Not life but death. is this the way<br />
All heroes go ? ...carrying the first necklace<br />
Of death...<br />
His preaching the belief<br />
Of eternal happiness to rest.<br />
Or were his angels just ufos<br />
Vapor trails lead from<br />
Another light year land...<br />
Or was it really tomorrow's<br />
Awakening day dream...blemished<br />
By the smudgy finger prints of man...<br />
<br />
And slivers of my life...floating,<br />
Still soaring in space...<br />
And spirits of bee hives<br />
Even they find a resting place.<br />
<br />
As I wander through my crystal ball,<br />
I suddenly ride upon the waves of sound.<br />
I see platforms of launching<br />
Pads even before the first blade of<br />
Grass turned brown.<br />
<br />
And I taste their tunnels through<br />
The sky...as the axis turns in it's womb.<br />
Frozen flowers and animals try to<br />
Hold positions they had before<br />
Their morning bloomed...<br />
And I follow the last rocket up<br />
To the libraries of the moon's meadows.
