GENESIS - Burning Rope lyrics

rate me

The warming sunthe cooling rain

The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze

The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you

Yet only eagles seem to pass on through.

The words of lovethe cries of hate

And the man in the moon who seduced you

Then finally loosed you.

You climbed upon a burning rope to escape the mob below

But you had put the flaming out so that others could not follow

To be out of the bounds and the barks of those who do not wish you well.

You must blaze a trail of your ownunknownalone

But keep in mind

Don't live today for tomorrow like you were immortal.

The only survivors on this world of ours are

The warming sunthe cooling rain

The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze

The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you

Yet only eagles seem to pass on through.

The words of lovethe cries of hate

And the man in the moon who seduced you

Then finally loosed you.

You're old and disillusioned now as you realise at last

That all all you have accomplished here will have soon all turned to

Dust.

You dream of a future after lifewell that's as maybeI don't know.

But you can't take what you left behindyou're all alone.

So keep in mind

Don't live today for tomorrow like you were immortal.

The only survivors on this world of ours are

The warming sunthe cooling rain

The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze

The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you

Yet only eagles seem to pass on through.

The words of lovethe cries of hate

And the man in the moon...
