Tarkus (i. Eruption / ii. Stones of Years / iii. Iconoclast / iv. Mass / v. Manticore / vi. Battlefield / vii. Aquatarkus) [2012 Remastered Version]

Has the dawn ever seen your eyes?
 Have the days made you so unwise?
 Realize, you are
 ♪
 Had you talked to the winds of time
 Then you'd know how the waters rhyme
 Taste of wine
 How can you know where you've been?
 In time you'll see the sign
 And realize your sin
 ♪
 Will you know how the seed is sown?
 All your time has been overgrown
 Never known
 ♪
 Have you walked on the stones of years?
 When you speak, is it you that hears?
 Are your ears full?
 You can't hear anything at all
 ♪
 The preacher said a prayer
 Save every single hair on his head
 He's dead
 The minister of hate had just arrived too late to be spared
 Who cared?
 The weaver in the web that he made
 The pilgrim wandered in
 Commiting every sin that he could
 So good
 The cardinal of grief was set in his belief he'd saved
 From the grave
 The weaver in the web that he made
 ♪
 The high priest took a blade
 To bless the ones that prayed
 And all obeyed
 The messenger of fear is slowly growing, nearer to the time
 A sign
 The weaver in the web that he made
 A bishops rings a bell
 A cloak of darkness fell across the ground
 Without a sound
 The silent choir sing and in their silence
 Bring jaded sound, harmonic ground
 The weaver in the web that he made
 ♪
 Clear the battlefield and let me see
 All the profit from our victory
 You talk of freedom, starving children fall
 Are you deaf when you hear the season's call?
 ♪
 Were you there to watch the earth be scorched?
 Did you stand beside the spectral torch?
 Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face
 Scattered on the ashes of disgrace
 ♪
 Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly
 Where the victims of your armies lie
 
 Where the blades of brass and arrows reign
 Then there will be no sorrow
 Be no pain
