Testo Forsaken Cathedrals - The Tangent
Testo della canzone Forsaken Cathedrals (The Tangent), tratta dall'album A Place In The Queue
What one man builds, another pulls down
Where statues once held sway is stony ground
We make our heroes, clay doll figures
To stand atop our walls
Then crush them up and roll them neatly
Back into the mould
One man's legend is another man's hell
We fix the stories of the scriptures up to tell
The meanings like we want them
To guide us through this change
Then we alter them to suit us
And the spirit of the age
We have no plans for what we're building
Generations come and go
And the fortresses grow higher
No one ever saw the blueprints
No one ever tried the vision
To which we all aspire
How did they know how the light would fall
Upon the soft grey stones of the transit walls
Was their vision somehow greater
Than what we now command
In the cattle rush of net gain
Virtue lands
We have no plans for what we're making
These cathedrals are forsaken
Generations come and go
And though we'll never see it finished
All our life's work is diminished
Cause we all believe we know the plan
We have no plans for what we're building
Generations come and go
And the fortresses grow higher
No one ever saw the blueprints
No one ever tried the vision
To which we all aspire
We have no plans for what we're making
These cathedrals are forsaken
Generations come and go
And though we'll never see it finished
All our life's work is diminished
Cause we all believe we know the plan
