Stargardens blossom in their solitude Spiral architecture Here I'm standing Here I'm wondering Curiosity, thirst for knowledge Eye for an eye and the whole world will be blind Oceans of madness drowning the hope of mankind What kind of man kills because of ideology? What kind of god justifies violence?
