- The Archetypes come alive like a great beehive,
- out of the sky, all the sky kings dive!
- Out of the ground, demons ride black steeds!
- Out of the earth, ghosts raise up their heads,
- Shake off the lethargy of years of being dead,
- and march into town instead.
- The Archetypes come alive, one by one, two by two,
- Fat happy Sun kings, fawning, evil Richeliu,
- Happy, gay, Three Musketeers, dueling D'Artanion too!
- And cowboys duel with Musketeers,
- while Indians brawl with Vikings!
- And sea battles soon ensue,
- between dragon ships, and triremes,
- Treasure Ships and Pirates!
- Black beard lights candles on his face,
- and Berserkers scream their bravery!
- Three musicians march in step,
- celibrating their freedom!
- While good priests meditate;
- evil priests fornicate;
- and everyone acts with wild abandon,
- the fantasies of their soul.
- Wielding a sword at illusions,
- that seem to only get stronger,
- While chiding others for delusions,
- that are so plainly false!
- These archetypes all dance their steps,
- all dance in wild abandon!
- In the minds of drunken revellers,
- drunk with anger, drunk with hate,
- marching down Broadway,
- stopping at Harald Square.
- Climbing the millenia tower,
- on top of a giant skyscraper!
- An angry Ape climbs the Empire State,
- and Godzilla parades his hate!
- And then both fall to their fate!
- The archetypes come alive
- and war like Devas and Ashuras!
- While the real villains of these places,
- gnash their teeth and hide their faces,
- creating unleashed archetypes!
- Calling "Peace" but unleashing war!
- Calling "brotherhood" but disdaining love;
- loving only their archetypes!
- The police cannot leash them,
- their own are loose!
- And these archetypes dance together,
- while their owners cry in delusion:
- "You believe a lie, I utter truth!"
- Their owners cry in unison:
- "Your archetype is a monster,
- and mine a world taming hero!"
- "No yours is the monster,
- and mine the hero!
- Oh look here,
- is that a child our heroes just crushed?"
- "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! THIS DELUSION!"
- Pointing fingers, three aimed at the breast!
- "It's all my fault! This delusion!"
- Without understanding why,
- this too is a lie.
- Do you know the causal law?
