*THE ULTRAVOX*

(The cover song on the album "Panmelodium").

Many restless years back
I was just a lad,
Had to live far away
From my own homeland.
I could see the future,
And I could prophesy,
I could bring the rain
When the soil lay dry,
I could paint the clay birds
With the rays of sunlight,
And I could make them fly!

The neighbours said to me
With their jaundiced eyes:
"Before our peaceful life's broken,
Set your feet on the way to the land
Where your mother tongue's spoken!"

I took nomad's cudgel,
I tightened the rope around my girth,
I looked up in the sky
For an answer to why
I didn't remember the place of my birth,
And somehow I knew
That my genuine home was nowhere on earth!

Don't ask me who or what I am -
- You don't care about my ways,
And nor you do about me.
Hear in clouds of Angels' dust in Paradise
Your angels playing R'n'B?
Look straight in their misty eyes!
What do you see?
The image of the Ugly Beast
Who's come into this dying world
To claim His bloody prize!
