western promise

hai

oh

mystical east

on old postcards

your childhood dreams and energies

your temples' gardens

old world charm

an ancient culture

torn and scarred

this is my western promise

oh

mystical east

you've lost your way

your rising sun shall rise again

my western world gives out her hand

a victor's help to your fallen land

this is my western promise

hai

mystical east

all taxi-cabs

all ultra-neon

sign of the times

your buddha zen and christian man

all minions to messiah pepsi can

this is my western promise
