There's a soul in the Eternal,
Standing stiff before the King.
And there's a little English maiden
Sorrowing in front of him.
There's a proud and tearless woman,
Seeing pictures in the fire.
Also a broken battered body
On the reality wire.
Had we but met again before
By some old ancient inn,
We should have sat us down to wet again
Before you went to win!
Cause you are my only son, you know
I don´t want you to see those tears...
When the world is red and reeking,
And the shrapnel shells are shrieking,
And your blood is slowly leaking,
Carry on my son.
And let me give you now my last advise
Before you leave my home,
run as quickly as you can in danger
don´t look back for your throne
Had we but met again before
By some old ancient inn,
now it is to late and now you are gone
haven´t I reacted on my sin?
I still had so much to say to you
But now you have gone to win...and...
To become a legend of my sin!
But the other night I dreamed a dream,
And just twixt me and you,
I never dreamed like that before,
I oaf thought they were so true.
I dreamed as I were dead, you see,
At least as I had died,
For I were very much alive,
Out there on to the other side.
I couldn't see no court of law,
Nor yet that great white throne,
I couldn't see no record books,
I seemed to stand all alone.
I seemed to stand all alone, beside
A solemn kind of sea
Its waves they got in my deep inside
And touched my memory
That night your great guns, unawares,
Shook all our coffins as we lay,
And broke the chancel window-squares,
We thought it was the Judgement-day
The hooded on is becoming
To reaprich harvest and to bring
The torments fruit across the silent stream
From it´s far side nameless horror gleem
Now sit upright. Await derision
Arose the howl of wakened hounds
The mouse let fall the altar-crumb
The worms drew back into their mounds
Make your last prayers now
Cause death awaits us all
Oh, I wished I could be home again
I´m trapped behind big walls
Here they come!
Thank God, it is not yet judgement-day
For some of us a blessed thing,
For if it were they'd have to scour
Hell's floor for so much threatening...
I will not live, and I will not die, I cannot run, and I cannot hide...
I lay myself to wet
My eyes become deep red
I´m free to go now far
In the legends of the falls
The legend of my fallen
