Fashionably late as always. I won't explain this one. The imagery is abstract so I want to see if you folks can pick out what it means.

Steel clouds float like a lead zeppelin
Mummy gypsy woman under long black veil
Blood, sweat and tears flow through aquaducts
The clearwater in them is all dried up

Strums from a revolutionary ghost
Are echoes of the past at most
They push us into a evolution
A generation of music revolution
Our chance has finally come about
Now it's our time to rock out

On the ruins we build our nirvana
Words from our lady peace become our creed
Driving forward our ideals sustain
Short road replaced by magenta lane

Strums from a revolutionary ghost
Are echoes of the past at most
They push us into a evolution
A generation of music revolution
Our chance has finally come about
Now it's our time to rock out

Steel clouds float like a lead zeppelin
Blood, sweat and tears flow through aquaducts
On the ruins we build our nirvana
Words from our lady peace become our creed

Strums from a revolutionary ghost
Are echoes of the past at most
They push us into a evolution
A generation of music revolution
Our chance has finally come about
Now it's our time to rock out

Reads well...I imagine something loud and distorted....for a proper revolution :wink:
I want to see if you folks can pick out what it means.
The first thing that pops into my mind is a tribute to Janis Joplin....or Grace Slick....if not one of them specifically, then a tribute to past musicians that tried to change the world through music and revolution as the musical reference hints are throughout....and then a call for modern musicians to carry the torch of revolution.

Zeppelin, Blood Sweat & Tears, Nirvana, Creed. Don't have to play this backwards to get the hidden messages... :mrgreen:
I don't think the first verse really means anything, it's just to get those band names in, right?

"Strums from a revolutionary ghost

This lines are great for a chorus. Kinda reminds me of Rage Against the Machine...
