In The Wake Of Poseidon 歌词

Plato's spawn cold ivyed eyes Snare truth in bone and globe Harlequins coin pointless game Sneer jokes in parrot's robe Two women weep, Dame Scarlet Screen Sheds sudden theatre rain Whilst dark in dream the Midnight Queen Knows every human pain In air, fire, earth and water World on the scales Air, fire, earth and water Balance of change World on the scales On the scales Bishop's kings spin judgement's blade Scratch faith on nameless graves Harvest hags Hoard ash and sand Rack rope and chain for slaves Who fireside fear fermented words Then rear to spoil the feast Whilst in the aisle the mad man smiles To him, it matters least Heroes hands drain stones for blood To whet the scaling knife Magi blind with visions light Net death in dread of life Their children kneel in Jesus till They learn the price of nails Whilst all around our mother earth Waits balanced on the scales
