Testo Nethertons Teeth - The Magnetic North
Testo della canzone Nethertons Teeth (The Magnetic North), tratta dall'album Orkney - Symphony of the Magnetic North
Last night I watched my brothers play
The reckless and the gentle
In a field two yards away
For half a century they were gone
Beyond the other side of care
Even in a dream how could I dare
Interrogate the half we met
So hardly spent and never met
Still they raced upon the green
And where I was they once had been
I thought how could I be so dumb
Twenty thousand days ago
Not to see the beauty there
I asked them were they really so
As you are the other day
But then we played it for victory
Not to make each other glad
But darkness covers every head
A frown it twists upon your face
And through the mask we could not see your grace
Even in a dream how could I dare
Interrogate the half we met
So hardly spent and never met
Still they raced upon the green
Just like two revolving suns
So proud I could not see their eyes
Or look into their paradise
Where I was they once had been
I have observed with foolish awe
The dateless middays of the lawn
And seen indifferent justice done
By everyone and everyone
And in a vision I have seen
My brothers playing on the green
