Even This Shall Pass Away - Robert Plant[00:00:00]
Once in Persia reigned a king[00:00:12]
Who upon his regal ring[00:00:14]
Etched a caption true and wise[00:00:17]
Which if held before his eyes[00:00:22]
Gave him counsel at a glance[00:00:24]
Fit for every change and chance[00:00:27]
Solemn words and these are they[00:00:31]
Even this shall pass away[00:00:37]
Trains of camels through the sand[00:00:49]
Brought him gems from samarcand[00:00:51]
Fleets of galleys through the seas[00:00:59]
Brought him pearls to rival these[00:01:01]
But he counted not his gain[00:01:08]
Treasures of the mine or main[00:01:11]
What is wealth the king would say[00:01:13]
Even this shall pass away[00:01:15]
In the revels of his court[00:01:28]
At the zenith of his sport[00:01:30]
When the palms of all his guests[00:01:38]
Burned with clapping at his jests[00:01:40]
Amid his figs and wine[00:01:48]
He cried o loving friends of mine[00:01:49]
Pleasures come but not to stay[00:01:53]
Even this shall pass away[00:01:55]
Towering up above the square[00:02:17]
Way up high into the air[00:02:20]
Rose his statue carved in stone[00:02:27]
All disguised all unknown[00:02:29]
Gazing at his sculptured name[00:02:37]
Asked to himself what is fame[00:02:39]
Fame is but a slow decay[00:02:42]
And even this shall pass away[00:02:44]
Sick and tired and fading[00:02:56]
Thinish beat and old[00:02:59]
Stood a mile outside the gates of gold[00:03:01]
Speaking with his dying breath[00:03:06]
Life is done so what is death[00:03:09]
Then in answer to the king[00:03:11]
Fell a sunbeam on his ring[00:03:14]
Blinding light through fading grey[00:03:16]
'Cause even this shall pass away[00:03:21]
Even this shall pass away[00:03:26]
Even this shall pass[00:03:31]
Even this shall pass away[00:03:36]
Away[00:03:41]
Away[00:03:43]
Away[00:03:45]
