Banks of Eden

The Flower Kings Banks of Eden歌詞
1.Numbers

Tripping the world imperial
(Look inside her)
Leaving the world material
(Can't hide her)
Tripping the world imperial
(Look inside her)
Leaving the world material
(Can't hide her)

Look
At the riverbanks
She's looking
Behind you
The black clouds
They fall hard and heavy
As Eden
Astounds you

So hail to those who give their lives
Who don't stand back when evil rises
It's not a matter of king or country

So you think it is over
Do you think it is really over?

Look up that skyline
There's a bad moon rising
You may not like it
But that's the lizard you're riding

The smiles and suits on TV news, they feed us all
But she's the greatest of liars
The stupid bird who dares to speak the naked truth
Soon lies flat on the wire

So hail to those who give their lives
Who don't stand back when evil rises
It's not a matter of king or country

So you think it is over
Do you think it is really over?

Look up that skyline
There's a bad moon rising
You may not like it
But that's the lizard you're riding
The lizard you're riding

We're all just the same old sinner
Fighting for a piece of nothing
Same mistakes go round again (same stupid men)
Covering up his bloody trail
Cain he came back emptyhanded
With no father blessing and no holy grail

Look around you
Take it in before your day is done
When I found you
I was cold and all my loving gone
Life inside you
Like a spiral sending lifelines from the ground
Whe I found her
She was cold, still in her wedding gown
Look inside her
And now she's gone so bring the darkness down
She brought the darkness down
Down down down
Down down down
Down down down
Down down down

Tripping the world imperial
Leaving the world material
Tripping the world imperial
Leaving the world material

Trees surround you
They say your body is the garden of your soul
Lights will blind you
And all these roads they say they lead to Rome
Eyes have found her
But you say you're better off alone
Plead forgiveness for a soul that's bad beyond the bone

There's truth in numbers
There's truth in scales
There's truth in science
And truth in sales

And when the sweetness
Comes to an end
You try to bargain
To live again

There's truth in progress
There's truth in fame
There's truth in healing
And the truth remains

And when the sweetness
Comes to an end
You try to bargain
To live again

You look around for the brightest minds
Or just a few simple words of kindness
A world gone shallow, cold, and mean
It's like a wasteland void of dreams
Hoping and praying that we'll find our way back home

There's truth in progress
There's truth in fame
There's truth in healing
And the truth remains

And when the sweetness
Comes to an end
You try to bargain
To live again

You look around for the brightest minds
Or just a few simple words of kindness
Hoping and praying that we'll find our way back home
That we'll find our way back home
We'll find our way back home

And then the numbers may not come up right
And the artifacts are more than frightening
Between the Bible and eternal question
There's an ocean of fear and we're sinking faster

And then the numbers may not come up right
And the artifacts are more than frightening
Between the Bible and eternal question
There's an ocean of fear and we're sinking faster

And then the numbers may not come up right
And the artifacts are more than frightening
Between the Bible and eternal question
There's an ocean of fear and we're sinking faster

Look up that skyline
There's a bad moon rising
You may not like it
But that's the lizard you're riding

Look up that skyline
There's a bad moon rising
You may not like it
But that's the lizard you're riding


2.For The Love Of Gold

The beat goes on and on
We build on shaky ground
With blinders firmly strapped
We gracefully slide down
High expectations as the office calls
The Company may claim your body and your soul

The other day we moved like soldiers in our prime
But here we're stuck like stiff canaries in a mine
A one-trick-pony upon the Chinese wall
The Company may claim your body and your soul

What if our destiny lies in the hands of fools
There was a way out, but they'll never let us know
Moves like a clockwork but it's just insane
It governs like a body without brains

And if you see those men who are sanctified for love of gold
(See you down the road)
When the brightest art is sodomized, burn it down
(See you down the road)
When the mighty fall and try to hide, call them out
(See you down the road)
When the darkest lie is justified, break it down

And if you see those men who are sanctified for love of gold
When the brightest art is sodomized, burn it down
When the mighty fall and try to hide, call them out
When the darkest lie is justified, break it down

And if you see those men who are sanctified for love of gold
When the brightest art is sodomized, burn it down

4.For Those About To Drown


5.Rising The Imperial

I sit by the brook
That sings your name
The voice of God
In this perfect game
I still don't know
Just where I'm at
But I'm on a road that lingers on
To somemplace grand

Worlds grow inside you
Don't you be afraid
Peace comes to you
Like a warm embrace
Every season
Has its sacred ghosts
I see your heart is getting warmer
While we peel the crust

Rising the tide imperial
Leaving the world material
Enter a world superior
Leaving the world material

You count them angels
That God once sent
And in the turmoil
You just look for friends
The sweetest apple
Hides the blackest core
I scratched the loudest-colour surface
And I found a foe

Rising the tide imperial
Leaving the world material
Enter a world superior
Leaving the world material

Rising the tide imperial
Leaving the world material
Enter a world superior
Leaving the world material

We are hope, we are fear
We're the hunter and the deer
Together we can make a change
From the sun to the moon
From the mouth to the spoon
Together we can find a way
With the power to believe
We have the power to heal
Together we can change our ways
We are millions, we are one
From a flower to the sun
Together we can make a change

There's truth in progress
There's truth in fame
There's truth in healing
And the truth remains

And when the sweetness
Comes to an end
You try to bargain
To live again


6.Fireghosts

Silent world, looking for miracles
looking for any pair of wing, that will carry her
Now look at those sacred bones, we're all just travelling souls
We are a fortress of our own making, with this urge to burn

For all the brightest beacons, burning bright
And all the fireghosts, they've taken flight
And all the promises, they're in your eyes
And all the darkest fears, you bring to life

I'm beautiful, we're all so beautiful
But all the stories of our lifes, will come to pass
Looking that merciful, like lightning can strike your soul
You can just turn around and change, without looking back

For all the brightest beacons, burning bright
And all the fireghosts, they've taken flight
And all the promises, they're in your eyes
And all the darkest fears, you bring to life
