Killing Joke

Gratitude

Killing Joke


Let me tell you
About the hearts of my people
Of the meaning of our tribe
A dream unspoken
A promised kept
The secret comes 
Alive 

For all the years I've watched your back
And you've watched mine
We always knew the clouds would part 
And a golden damn will shine

And when you find yourself
Along the untrodden path
Remember me 
with a smile a drink
A gesture or a laugh
Gratitude

You look at me
But i've been looking at you
We only were a mirror
To show what you could do

O inovator
O enlightened
Scolar play and write
And rewrite old books
Renaissance perfom new rites of light

And when you find yourself
Along the untrodden path
Remember me 
with a smile a drink
A gesture or a laugh 
Gratitude

The wise will redefine
Paradise
The farmer and the visionary a village
Simples lives 
Adapting to strange seasons
In certain remote regions
Where no one has exemption
From total redemption

And when you find yourself
Along the untrodden path
Remember me 
with a smile a drink
A gesture or a laugh
And a toast for the man
Who loves every hour of every day
And a feast for the friends and faces 
Met along the way 
Gratitude
