Hawkwind Fall Of Earth City

News had drifted on the wind of many minds that this was to be an occasion of great importance. For it was said by some that Earth City had somehow uncovered a single time sleeper from the time before.
Although the cryptic writings upon his tomb were now faded beyond decipherable reading, it was said, by the disembodied members of the ruling kind, that the entombed was from that time on Earth before the city stretched its metal web from pole to pole leaving green things only in the wells of immortal minds.
Upon the third revolution after its arrival, the tomb that slept without life was removed for inspection. The day was programmed for a clear dome above, with a mild breeze wafting from the central weather post. Below, throngs of class three occupants were gathering from various sectors to observe the opening. As per standard procedure, their data input stations were fed appropriate propaganda so that their reports would coincide with what the rulers had predetermined.
