EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER - The Miracle lyrics

rate me

So here we stand between the gates<br>Upon the dawn the eagle waits<br>His tallons shine like daggers<br>On the wings of revolution<br>In pain the madman staggers<br>But there is no solution<br><br>Another sword upon a throne<br>But now the jester laughs alone<br><br>Beneath this cloak of treason<br>Appears a thousand faces<br>The truth must stand to reason<br>For those who's heart it chases<br><br>Beyond the world of mortal man<br>Within this sanctuary the spectre begins to tremble<br>They lay his spear upon the plan<br><br>On a sea of diamonds lies a ship of glass<br>Through the mist the torches pass<br><br>Their banners fly in splendour<br>The ghosts of night decended<br>With grace their souls surrender<br>The seal must be defended<br><br>Still the dragons reign supreme<br>Breathing fire till we scream<br>They leave us nothing but our dreams<br><br>No shield can save us<br>It's gonna take a miracle<br>We're searching for a miracle<br>It's gonna take a miracle<br>We're searching for a miracle<br><br>Stand clear, there's storm above<br>And there is something left to fear<br>All speed, before the blade is drawn<br>And there is blood upon the seed<br><br>Let no one yield we're on the field<br>Where deeds eclipse the sun<br>Where the brave are told on a thread of gold<br>The tapestry is spun<br>As they speak of dreams their amour gleams<br>There's calm before the storm<br>But all can see their destiny<br>The bishop takes the pawn<br><br>In the sky the arrows fly<br>Each one to it's mark<br>Defend the true lead us through<br>This voyage in the dark<br>Make us strong you know right from wrong<br>Teach us what it's worth<br>Cos every heart that aches is what it takes<br>To save our mother earth<br><br>Lay your life upon the line<br>It's death for glory every time<br>You give up yours and I'll keep mine<br><br>No shield can save us<br>It's gonna take a miracle<br>We're searching for a miracle<br>It's gonna take a miracle<br>We're searching for a miracle<br><br>So here we stand between the gates<br>Upon the dawn the eagle waits<br>His tallons shine like daggers<br>On the wings of a revolution<br>In the pain the madman staggers<br>But there is no solution<br><br>Still the dragons reign supreme<br>Breathing fire till we scream<br>They leave us nothing but our dreams<br><br>No shield can save us<br>It's gonna take a miracle<br>We're searching for a miracle<br>It's gonna take a miralce<br>We're searching for a miracle
