Genesis - Can-utility & The Coastliners Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The scattered pages of a book by the sea
  • Held by the sand, washed by the waves
  • A shadow forms cast by a cloud,
  • Skimming by as eyes of the past, but the rising tide
  • Absorbs them effortlessly claiming.
  • They told of one who tired of all singing,
  • Praise him, praise him.
  • We heed not flatterers, he cried,
  • By our command, waters retreat,
  • Show my power, halt at my feet,
  • But the cause was lost,
  • Now cold winds blow.
  • For from the north overcast ranks advance
  • Fear of the storm accusing with rage and scorn.
  • The waves surround the sinking throne
  • Singing crown him, crown him,
  • Those who love our majesty show themselves!
  • All bent their knees.
  • But he forced a smile even though
  • His hopes lay dashed where offerings fell (where they fell).
  • Nothing can my peace destroy as long as none smile.
  • More opened ears and opened eyes,
  • And soon they dared to laugh.
  • See a little man with his face turning red
  • Though his storys often told you can tell hes dead.
