Songs Title:the seer[00:00:03]
Long ago I heard a tale[00:00:15]
I never will forget[00:00:17]
The time was in the telling[00:00:19]
On the bank the scene was set[00:00:20]
The sky was rolling blindly on[00:00:22]
The daylight had not gone[00:00:24]
She washed her hair among the stones[00:00:26]
And saw what was to come[00:00:28]
All this will pass[00:00:30]
There will be blood among the corn[00:00:35]
And heroes in the hills[00:00:40]
But there is more to come my boy[00:00:41]
Before you've had your fill[00:00:44]
Men will come and rape the sail[00:00:45]
As though it were their own[00:00:47]
And they will bathe their feet in oil[00:00:49]
As I have bathed my own[00:00:51]
All this will pass[00:00:53]
All things must come[00:01:00]
Just as I tell you here[00:01:03]
Stones will stand together[00:01:07]
As if searching for the stars[00:01:10]
And all come crashing down again[00:01:12]
Before they reach too far[00:01:14]
She turned to face the setting sun[00:01:16]
I turned to walk away[00:01:18]
But then she called my name again[00:01:19]
And beckoned me to stay[00:01:21]
All this will pass[00:01:24]
All things must come[00:01:29]
Just as I tell you here[00:01:34]
She told me of the famous sons[00:01:39]
Who write their names in peace[00:01:41]
Yet be cut down before the time[00:01:42]
Has come for our release[00:01:44]
Just as I tell you here[00:01:46]
Even now[00:01:54]
I wait for the coming day[00:01:57]
Even now[00:02:02]
She waits in the dawn[00:02:04]
For the tales she tells[00:02:07]
For the gifts that she will sell[00:02:13]
For the sight she knows[00:02:16]
For a vision that still grows[00:02:20]
With the dream in her eyes no one's seen[00:02:24]
I listened for so long that day[00:02:30]
That I can hardly tell[00:03:05]
If what she said was heaven sent[00:03:06]
Or brought to bear in hell[00:03:08]
That men of hope would stand alone[00:03:10]
And still be cast a lie[00:03:12]
Just as Romans cast them[00:03:14]
On the day they were to die[00:03:16]
All this will pass[00:03:19]
There is more of what she told[00:03:23]
Much better left alone[00:03:29]
For who are we to question her[00:03:32]
Who stands among the stones[00:03:38]
