like a military coup

when the tower tumbled, we began anew, had no time for warning, only deja vu, it comes flashing back, then just fades to black, all gone, all the land rejoices, now the coast is clear, no more silent voices, to whisper in your year, i am in my element, with a panoramic view, there's no inspiration like, a military coup, children blowing kisses, strangers to the truth, carrying the wishes, of a bygone youth, bye-bye cabaret, sci-fi agony, all gone, all the land rejoices, now the coast is clear, no more silent voices, to whisper in your ear, i am in my element, with a panoramic view, there's no compensation like, a military coup, a mellow melody, rolling endlessly, how long?, how long?, how long?
