Paroles de Island

If you're gonna be a mountain Let me see you thrust your snows In innocence through clouds of doubt That try to keep your reason out In these times of glaciated slaughter If you're gonna be a legend Let it be a tale whose telling Is a state of mind that's dwelling Far beneath the words that capture To fill the heart alone with rapture In these days of circles If your gonna be an island I will be a sailing ship Who like a speck at total distance Looms beyond your headland breakers Till the oceans mighty plunder Bids me seek the gentler shelter Of your inland waters Have you never seen beyond the moon? Don't you know that we will be there soon? Have you no eyes to see That you are only me and we are only Travellers upon a sea of time Trying very hard to make it rhyme
