So Said The Lighthouse Keeper - Klaatu[00:00:00]
"I am the very loneliest of[00:00:04]
All creatures in the universe[00:00:08]
Indeed I am an epitaph to man[00:00:14]
For having witnessed mass destruction[00:00:25]
Like you've never dreamed and worse[00:00:29]
I fear I shall bear witness once again "[00:00:35]
So said the lighthouse keeper[00:00:46]
As he struggled up the spiral stairs[00:00:50]
Which led him to the laser flare[00:00:55]
Which spanned the cosmic void[00:00:59]
Where keeping constant vigil[00:01:03]
He'd forewarn this gallant guard of guards[00:01:06]
Beware all ships the space[00:01:11]
Graveyard and it's stones of asteroids[00:01:14]
"For though my race was thought immune[00:01:21]
Themselves they did consume[00:01:26]
So be warned or be mourned tomorrow[00:01:30]
And from your deafness do desist[00:01:37]
And pray take heed of this[00:01:42]
For your present course[00:01:46]
Can only end in sorrow "[00:01:49]
So said the lighthouse keeper[00:02:44]
As he wiped a teardrop from his nose[00:02:49]
Upon which his spectacles rose[00:02:53]
And gazed out to the stars[00:02:57]
And like a portrait still he stared[00:03:02]
And sighing to himself declared[00:03:06]
"I must invent the perfect prayer[00:03:10]
Not yours not mine but ours[00:03:14]
Which in the name of charity[00:03:20]
Might lead us to eternal peace[00:03:24]
The ultimate philosophy[00:03:29]
Some simple single phrase "[00:03:33]
The old and much encumbered man[00:03:37]
Then came to rest with head in hand[00:03:41]
He thought[00:03:49]
And thought[00:03:51]
And thought away[00:03:54]
His last remaining day[00:03:58]
