Voices On The Wind

Levellers


There´s a man on the mountain
Who hides himself away
A voice on the wind there
Is telling him to stay
He knows on the outside
The world has looked away
From that night in the valley 
When they took them all away

Now the rock of ages
Has broken at his feet
The history of centuries
Lies scattered down the street 
The houses are all empty now
Left broken there to die 
The children´s playground
Burned and gone 
With no-one left to cry

Can you hear it
Can you hear the sound of voices 
Carried on the wind

He dorwned himself in sorrow
And he dorwned himself in drink
He dorwned himself in self-pity 
Until it made him sick 
He knew he was no master 
Just a slave to himself 
To the voices that have tortured him
That he´ll take to his grave 

Can you hear it 
Can you hear the sound of voices 
Carried on the wind 

Time passes slowly
Sometimes he´s at a loss 
And he wishes he could change it all
But you can´t turn back the clock 
So he picks up the broken pieces 
Of that so sacred rock
And he takes them to a safer place
Where they´ll be forever lost.
