In the Pages of History Books

Don't worry my friend
The history books won't mention us
Not a trace will be left of the dead
Who end up mediocre, boring and dread

Only the violent, vicious and extraordinary
End up in the pages of history
Saved for all time
Or until all the books
Are burned to ashes

Back into the earth
Where history began
From dust to dust
And white ash to grey ash
We all return to where we came
No more Hitlers
No more Mussolinis
No more Genghis Khans
No more crazy Mansons
No more Bin Ladens
No more terrorists, villains and dictators

No more Christs
No more Buddhas
No more Gandhis
No more King Juniors
No more Steve Jobs
No more saints, heroes and innovators

All the living and dead
Violently forced back
Into the stardust of the Beginning.
