Testo The Sentenced Man - David Knopfler
Testo della canzone The Sentenced Man (David Knopfler), tratta dall'album Cut The Wire
Dreaming into darkness
God makes other plans
Down here there's no salvation
By these almighty hands
There's only sound silence
And death defiles the land
I stand just east of Eden
And I play the sentenced man
Play the sentenced man
I play the sentenced man
There'll come a time in the white man's reign
When warriors of the rainbow ride again
Deeds be legend, the dream must end
Let the land of our fathers be green
Be green again
I'm a sentenced man
I'm a sentenced man
Between the death of life and the life of death
I walk beneath the stars
Between wakefulness and sleeping life
A billion unplayed bars
There will always be the showdown
Unworthy as I am
I fire this empty jewel
For every sentenced man
Oh yeah
I followed from the mountain
And let his music speak
Like waters from the fountain
His song did make me weep, weep, weep
There was nothing that I could say then
I laid me down to sleep
I was lost upon the way then
And currents ran too deep
And I prayed my soul to keep
Who cries now the ghosts are gone?
Who gives a tinker's damn?
Bruised limbs hung up like monuments
Bulls and empty hands
White dust blown across a wilderness
Where mighty oceans ran
Sand turned glass for eternity
Turn those keys for eternity
They say there's no release from eternity
But I know who I am
Yes, I know what I am
And I play the sentenced man
The sentenced man
It was only love which bound us
And held us to our parts
Now these fortresses surround us
All must break upon such desperate hearts
There was no place left to turn to
No place left to run, no
Oh, the hurting always leaves its scar
And the hurting's just begun
The hurting's just begun
I play the sentenced man
The sentenced man
I don't understand
I'm a sentenced man
