A cover of the Eloy song from the album "Time to Turn", with some modifications ;-)
lyrics
Say, Is It Really True?
Say, is it really true?
That the flame of hope has grown?
That the spirit has changed?
That the weak no longer stand alone?
Say, is it really true?
That the thought of war has lost its meaning?
Them devils men made have died?
That the power of greed is sinking?
The coldest nights are followed by dawn
An outburst of light that cures the blind
A strong conviction has evolved in time
That life demands deeds we must define
Say, is it really true?
That once buried virtues now arise?
And that the truth itself, no longer asks for a disguise?
A power that’s been neglected, denied
Now blossoms and grows, calls out the best
At last the change of an era has come
But there won’t be much time to rest
Is this the force I feel within?
Heart and mind the truth?
Or am I deceived again?
Deceived again?
Say, is it really true?
That the flame of hope is lost
Or am I deceived again?
Deceived again!
