Can Utility and the Coastliners - Steve Hackett[00:00:00]
The scattered pages of a book by the sea[00:00:09]
Held by the sand washed by the waves[00:00:16]
A shadow forms cast by a cloud[00:00:20]
Skimming by as eyes of the past[00:00:27]
But the rising tide[00:00:33]
Absorbs them effortlessly claiming[00:00:35]
They told of one who tired of all singing[00:00:40]
Praise him praise him[00:00:44]
We heed not flatterers he cried[00:00:48]
By our command waters retreat[00:00:52]
Show my power halt at my feet[00:00:58]
But the cause was lost[00:01:04]
Now cold winds blow[00:01:06]
Far from the north overcast ranks advance[00:01:10]
Fear of the storm accusing with rage and scorn[00:01:17]
The waves surround the sinking throne[00:01:23]
Singing crown him crown him[00:01:27]
Those who love our majesty show themselves[00:01:31]
All bent their knee[00:01:41]
But he forced a smile even though[00:03:15]
His hopes lay dashed where offerings fell[00:03:17]
Waitting feel[00:03:25]
Nothing can my peace destroy[00:04:59]
As long as no one smiles[00:05:04]
More opened ears and opened eyes[00:05:09]
And soon they dared to laugh[00:05:14]
See a little man with his face turning red[00:05:32]
Though his story's often[00:05:34]
Told you can tell he's dead[00:05:35]
