King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Platos spawn cold ivyed eyes
  • Snare truth in bone and globe.
  • Harlequins coin pointless games
  • Sneer jokes in parrots robe.
  • Two women weep, dame scarlet screen
  • Sheds sudden theatre rain,
  • Whilst dark in dream the midnight queen
  • Knows every human pain.
  • In air, fire, earth and water
  • World on the scales.
  • Air, fire, earth and water
  • Balance of change
  • World on the scales
  • On the scales.
  • Bishops kings spin judgements blade
  • Scratch faith on nameless graves.
  • Harvest hags hoard ash and sand
  • Rack rope and chain for slaves
  • Who fireside fear fermented words
  • Then rear to spoil the feast;
  • Whilst in the aisle the mad man smiles
  • To him it matters least.
  • Heroes hands drain stones for blood
  • To whet the scaling knife.
  • Magi blind with visions light
  • Net death in dread of life.
  • Their children kneel in jesus till
  • They learn the price of nail;
  • Whilst all around our mother earth
  • Waits balanced on the scales.
