The mantle of attainment
Weighs heavy on his shoulders Guided by a lantern Flickering he grows older A refuge found in exile He shuffles on in blindness You'll take his hand, he'll lose himself Bewildered by your kindness Enshrouded by darkness A figure slowly forms Through many years of banishment No shelter from the storm To find this slave of solitude You'll know him by his star Then take his hand, he'll lose himself Knowing who you are |

"As far as my eyes can see, there are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind, I want you all to know You've always shared my deepest thoughts, I'll miss you where I go" - Eric Woolfson "Master of time, take me back through the years Master of time, let me try once again And I would give more, oh how I'd try And with this a new life I'd buy" - Ant Phillips "A pawn on a chess board A false move by God will now destroy me But wait on the horizon, a new dawn seems to be rising Never to recall, this passerby, born to die" - Ant Phillips |

Staying on that Genesis track:
"Stand in the sun Shut your eyes and feel the world it's changing every day Goodbye my love, each day will seem so long Ooh there's so much I feel, that I can never say I can't see you, I can't feel you anymore |

Though prog related, really-here is a sample. A song about someone who lives "the high life"
Helmut Koellen-The Story Of Life "You smoke your refer, you drink your wine, You take your pills and you feel just fine You're taking off like a jumbo jet That flight is bad, but you don't regret You watch tv till you go blind, Your parents sleep and they don't mind You blow your nose, you wreck your car You just drop out, you won't get far I tell you the story of life which is old, The more you get older, the more you get cold About the only thing left in each generation Is loving and dying and death and frustration" Edited by presdoug - September 22 2014 at 12:03 |

Deafheaven's "The Pecan Tree."
I laid drunk on the concrete on the day of your birth In celebration of all you were worth I am my father's son I am no one I cannot love It's in my blood |

oh yeah sure, but personally i would listen to the previous two tracks on the album before this one, as they are all connected to each other.

"The trees and I are shaken by the same wind but whereas
The trees will lose their withered leaves, I just can't seem to let them loose. And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south. Oh I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place." "Heathaze" by Genesis (Duke) Edited by Rednight - September 24 2014 at 10:30 |

"We are the Warriors on the Edge of Time
and we're tired we're tired we're tired of making love" which begs the question .... what would Warriors want to make instead?

I just don't think that anyone on this board, maybe a handful, can relate to the song in an emotional way ... like they lost their family member to an IRA bomb, or a close friend in VietNam ... so you can appreciate the beauty of this song and the massive eulogy that it is.
Again, I still look at this, as the pure soul and spirit of the time and space, that had the aesthetics and the bauty to stand up and be counted ... that was ignored later, because it all became a hit song, or just another song on radio by folks that were not interested in anything else but some form of greed!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
