Letra de 'Imaginal Cells' de Machine Head

We're in a critical phase of human civilization
That our survival is really in question
There is generally a feeling
That there's something happening
People have been exposed of course to the whole concept of peak oil

To climate change, to population explosion
The doomsday clock keeps moving closer
Religious people are talking about the end times
Present state of disorganization

What seems to be happening is that people are beginning to realize
How many of these are real crises
Or how many of these are crises as a result of limitations of our belief system?
While our civilization's structures become so rigid
And it can no longer adapt to the changing situations

There's a great increase in mental illness
There are signs of when these civilizations come to an end
There's a sense of alienation within the population
A very large increase in violent crime, social disruption
Some of the beliefs that we have bought into affect the entire population so

And surprisingly an interest in religious cultism
As societies start to begin to disintegrate
These weapons of mass distraction
Which are now falling apart as we're seeing
Life being exposed time and time again, every day, every week

What they've been distracting us from
Is our true power, the true nature of human nature
Our power to evolve
Our power to become cells in the organism called humanity
And there's the exciting story of our own power to evolve
Our own true nature and our own evolutionary destiny

Medicine started out as a healing art to help others
But over time and in our materialistic world
And a world based on corporations
Industries that thrive by making money out of sick people
But the environment's changing
We are at this very moment

In a stage where corporations are teeter-tottering
Because they can't maintain themselves anymore
They've grown too big and they have too little awareness
To maintain this world
And while they are doing their destruction of the planet
A new series of people are coming out of the old

Just like we talked about the imaginal cells
But imaginal cells have a different vision of the world
And why this is important for us
Is because it is a world of relationship
Nobody can get off the bus, we're all in this together
We see that we are indeed really approaching a change of civilization
It really is a lesson for us

We're in the throes of a new evolution
A new civilization is manifesting, a greater civilization is manifesting
Creative minorities arise
The imaginal cells are people that are saying
"There's another way to do this

There's a better, brighter image that's much more successful
Than the one we're doing
The precursors of the next level of our evolution
The fractal image will repeat itself
It's not a coincidence

We know where we've been, we know where we're going
And all I have to say is
Just stay out of way of the dinosaurs as they crash
And allow us to take over this planet
And bring in the new ideas that the imaginal cells will offer
To support and encourage our survival as a civilization on this planet
