Portrait Of The Knight Of Wands- Suzanne Vega [00:00:00]
He stood upon the last[00:00:26]
Bastions of the place[00:00:29]
Looked out on the ruins[00:00:32]
With thunder in his face[00:00:36]
An introverted spectacle[00:00:39]
In the flowers on the rocks[00:00:42]
The daisies on the ramparts[00:00:45]
Blowing free[00:00:49]
His heart was divided[00:00:53]
Clouds gathered in the sky[00:00:56]
The belfry made of wood and steel[00:00:59]
Was silenced in it’s cry[00:01:02]
Something must have happened[00:01:05]
What, he wouldn’t say[00:01:09]
But shown within[00:01:12]
The wider lens of history[00:01:14]
His mission the transmission[00:01:19]
Of technology[00:01:25]
One cannon trained upon the church[00:01:39]
This one caught his eye[00:01:42]
“To keep the bishop in his place”[00:01:45]
He muttered with a sigh[00:01:49]
His mood was melancholy[00:01:52]
His attitude severe[00:01:55]
His inner burden[00:01:58]
Weighed upon him mightily[00:02:00]
A bird as never seen in books[00:02:27]
Flew in overhead[00:02:29]
A kind of dove it might have been[00:02:33]
But not a sound was said[00:02:36]
All the ancient knowledge lay[00:02:39]
In pieces on the ground[00:02:42]
The cause of all his suffering[00:02:45]
Was not for love of me.[00:02:49]
His mission the transmission[00:02:52]
Of technology[00:02:59]
