Testo Patriots - The Magic Lantern
Testo della canzone Patriots (The Magic Lantern), tratta dall'album A World in a Grain of Sand
I'm told that I'm lazy
And I ought to be working
But the saints march like soldiers
Always staring at the ground
Always staring at the ground
But the ground don't interest me
I'm a man, I was born to be free
Born to be free
With every new step you move further away
And you tell yourself you'll be yourself after payday
But before you're broken, you're fragile like a lake
And as your eyes find the shimmering light
Your face begins to break
And it dissolves at the faintest touch
The ripples of the question don't count for much
'Cause the boat that holds the problem can't be rocked enough
Only a storm of stones to groan and make the waters rough
Go build your towers, tumbling through the sky
But bees all die early but the honey will survive
Yeah, the honey will survive
So sweet, you fight to get your feet
But now you're done, perhaps you'll die of greed
Come on, patriots
Oh, come and burn a flag for me
In the ashes you'll find what your pride hides behind
The myth of an honest country
Come on, patriots
Come and burn a flag for me
In the ashes you'll find what your pride hides behind
The myth of an honest country
