Deep Purple - Listen, Learn, Read On Lyrics
In ages past when spells were castIn a time of men in steelWhen a man was taught no special thingIt was all done by feelSo listen, so learn, so read onYou gotta turn the page, read the book of taliesynHear the song of lovely joanHer sound so sweet and clearIn the courtroom of the kingAmong children and the peersSo listen, so learn, so read onYou gotta turn the page, read the book of taliesynnow hear ye the words of taliesyn,On the foaming beach of the ocean,In the day of trouble,I shall be of more service to theeThan three hundred salmon...The hare he bounds across the pagePast castles white and fairPast dreaming chessmen on their boardsWith a fools mate as a snareSo listen, so learn, so read onYou gotta turn the page, read the book of taliesynthree times I have been bornI know this from meditation...The bird he flies the distanceFrom pages two to sixPast minstrels in their boxesTo the waters of the styxSo listen, so learn, so read onYou gotta turn the page, read the book of taliesynDont take the pictures lightlyListen to their soundFor from their coloured feelingExperience is foundSo listen, so learn, so read onYou gotta turn the page, read the book of taliesynall the sciences of the world are collected in my breast,For I know what has been, what is now,And what hereafter will occur...
