The Folly of the Young
This song tries to capture the ruthless nature of time, and how the young never heed and use the wisdom earned by posterity, finally coming to see that what they're done is just come around full circle.

Bringing the waves crashing on the rocks
The changing phase, the changing tide
Breaking its stubbornness gently mocks
As it unearths what eons have tried to hide.
Time changes all
But never come full circle
No matter how high you build the wall
Time ravages all, there are no miracles
The wisdom of the old
Worth its weight in gold
Useless is it found
For to no one is it bound,
heeds no one to it,
No matter how loudly its sung
The confidence, the arrogance, the pride
Oh the folly of the young.
Same problems camouflaged
