[00:00.45]	Guten Abend, Herr Beethoven
[00:03.58]	With these words I’ve interwoven inspiration from Moonlight
[00:11.58]	Since you parted much has changed but your melodies remain
[00:16.33]	Like flamingos in full flight
[00:18.89]	.
[00:19.27]	Please forgive me and be assured I’m only using all your chords
[00:24.07]	To illustrate that nothing’s ever new
[00:28.76]	But it seems these days there’s very little left that people have to say
[00:34.33]	As they pay for emperor's new clothes
[00:37.64]	.
[00:40.14]	But I refuse to take my hat to an era near extinction
[00:44.14]	Without question or complaint
[00:49.52]	The dialogue is growing weak, some forgetting how to speak,
[00:54.83]	Or stand up and show restraint
[00:57.76]	They’re all sick with common sense
[01:00.33]	Riddled thick with complacence
[01:02.56]	Where there’s nothing left to push against
[01:05.56]	.
[01:07.62]	So, dear Ludwig, that is why I choose the great gig in the sky
[01:12.51]	Where there are greater minds beyond mine
[01:15.70]	.
[01:16.76]	And I’ll meet them all
[01:19.14]	Yes, I’ll meet you all
[01:21.64]	In the great conversation
[01:24.39]	Without time, without reason
[01:26.83]	I’ll meet you all
[01:28.95]	Yes, I’ll meet you all
[01:31.91]	In the great conversation
[01:34.71]	Where time has no place, no, no
[01:37.77]	.
[01:50.74]	Is it me, or has humanity turned slave to the convenience
[01:55.80]	Of this, so called, ‘Techno Age’?
[01:59.86]	I speak to you, Ludwig,
[02:02.55]	because you represent a time so opposite,
[02:05.74]	When music filled the page
[02:08.36]	For example: this song here may be too much to please the ear
[02:13.24]	Because it’s wordy and demonstrative,
[02:17.42]	But my might is not to entertain the plight of human thought,
[02:23.30]	Though some may think I ought to
[02:26.36]	.
[02:26.99]	Well I’ll meet them all
[02:29.42]	Yes, I’ll meet you all
[02:32.42]	In the great conversation
[02:34.98]	Without time, without reason
[02:37.67]	I’ll meet you all
[02:39.86]	Yes, I’ll meet you all
[02:42.49]	In the great conversation
[02:45.30]	Where time has no place, no, no
[02:48.74]	.
[02:58.88]	Dare I say, as a landscape fades to grey
[03:03.13]	That a sword of Damocles hangs heavy overhead
[03:09.44]	Of all our voices great.
[03:13.75]	.
[03:52.47]	Well I’ll meet them all
[03:55.03]	Yes, I’ll meet you all
[03:58.09]	In the great conversation
[04:00.90]	Without time, without reason
[04:03.47]	I’ll meet you all
[04:07.97]	In the great conversation
[04:11.03]	Where time has no place, no, no
[04:14.41]	.
