Their raw originality surfaced to early
Too brilliant for the world and even for themselves
Meteoric, sarcastic debauchery, commercially suicidal
When mediocrity almost always wins in the end

Vision Shadows - Their greatness would not fit their minds
Vision Shadows - Not only a shadow of a vision of future past

Read all about them in the cock-rock press
How could one manage this "Nuclear Overdrive"...?
The Earlier they spark the brighter they burn
Without consciousness of having reached so high

Vision Shadows - A less to be learned, never to be forgotten
Vision Shadows - The war for the future is now!

Their originality was too brilliant, meticulously careless
But mediocrity always wins again and again
