Emerson, Lake and Palmer : Tarkus
Letras
1. Has the dawn ever seen your eyes?
Have the days made you so unwise?
Realize, you are
Had you talked to the winds of time
Then you'd know how the waters rhyme
Taste of wine
How can you know where you've been?
In time you'll see the sign
And realize your sin
Will you know how the seed is sown?
All your time has been overgrown
Never known
Have you walked on the stones of years?
When you speak, is it you that hears?
Are your ears full?
You can't hear anything at all
The preacher said a prayer
Save every single hair on his head
He's dead
The minister of hate had just arrived too late to be spared
Who cared?
The weaver in the web that he made
The pilgrim wandered in
Commiting every sin that he could
So good
The cardinal of grief was set in his belief he'd saved
From the grave
The weaver in the web that he made
The high priest took a blade
To bless the ones that prayed
And all obeyed
The messenger of fear is slowly growing, nearer to the time
A sign
The weaver in the web that he made
A bishops rings a bell
A cloak of darkness fell across the ground
Without a sound
The silent choir sing and in their silence
Bring jaded sound, harmonic ground
The weaver in the web that he made
Clear the battlefield and let me see
All the profit from our victory
You talk of freedom, starving children fall
Are you deaf when you hear the season's call?
Were you there to watch the earth be scorched?
Did you stand beside the spectral torch?
Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face
Scattered on the ashes of disgrace
Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly
Where the victims of your armies lie
We're the blades of grass and arrows rain
Then there will be no sorrow
Be no pain
2. Jeremy bender was a man of leisure,
Took his pleasure in the evening sun
Laid him down in a bed of roses,
Finally decided to become a nun.
Talk with the sister, spoke in a whisper,
Threatened to fist her if she didn't come clean
Jumped on the mother just like a brother
Asked one another if the other is a queen.
Diggin' the sister she was a mister
Shouldn't have kissed her, but he couldn't say no
Wanted to leave her couldn't believe her,
So he picked up his suit-case and decided to go
3. Bitches Crystal
Knows how you
Twist all the lines
Fortune Teller
Future Seller
Of time
Tortured spirits cry
Fear is in their eyes
Ghostly images die
Witches Potion
Mixed in the ocean
Of tears
Mystical Powers
Emerge from the towers
Of fear
Tortured spirits cry
Fear is in their eyes
Ghostly images die
Evil learning
People burning
Savage casting
No one lasting
Witchcraft
Sadness
Madness
Turning in their minds
Evil learning
People burning
Savage casting
No one lasting
Witchcraft
Sadness
Madness
Turning in their minds
Ritual killings
That swear in
The shillings to be
Heretic Priestess
Dwells on the
Weakness she sees
Tortured spirits cry
Fear is in their eye
Ghostly images die
4. People are stirred
Moved by the Word
Kneel at the shrine
Deceived by the wine
How was the earth conceived?
Infinite Space
Is there such a place?
You must believe in the human race
Can you believe
God makes you breathe?
Why did he lose
Six million Jews?
Touched by the wings
This angel brings
Sad winter storm
Grey autumn dawn
Who looks on life itself?
Who lights your way?
Only you can say
How can you just obey?
Don't need the word
Now that you've heard
Don't be afraid
Man is man-made
And when the hour comes
Don't turn away
Face the light of day
And do it your way
It's the only way
5. There is a place, a time and a space
No one can trace, that no one can trace
Somewhere a hill, where things are still
Just rain water spill, just rain water spill
Sleep in a dream of butter milk cream
You dance on a beam, dancing on a beam
Save me from this shallow land
Take me out of temper's hand
Drag me from the burning sand
Show me those that understand
Save me from this shallow land
Take me out of temper's hand
Drag me from the burning sand
Show me those that understand
Rest in a shade, no sound is made
Where silence is played, sound of silence played

(Eddie edit, Eddie, Eddie edit)
Are you ready, Eddie? A bit of vibing is all it lacks
(Eddie edit, Eddie, Eddie edit)
Well, vibe me Eddie, vibe me all night long
(Vibe me, Eddie, Vibe me, vibe me, Eddie)
Vibe me, Eddie, vibe me all night long
(Vibe me, Eddie, Vibe me, vibe me, Eddie)
While you're vibing me, Eddie, nothing can go wrong
(Vibe me, Eddie, Vibe me, vibe me, Eddie)
7. Flying so high
I don't know why
It feels so real
Maybe it's just a dream
Ground's so soft
It feels like moss
All green and clean
Maybe it's just a dream
Moving along
Maybe a song
There's no tune
Maybe it's just a dream
Faces I see
Look more like me
Not what they seem
Maybe it's just a dream
Clouds turn red
Stand on the head
They're not for me
Maybe it's just a dream
