Skyclad lyrics Skyclad lyrics I'll sing to you of days departed, Times when men proud and stouthearted carved their names on history's bloody Page, The corpse of chivalry long dead Is turning in his loamy bed indignant at your new 'enlightened' age White-collared knights at boardroom tables dream their own financial fables, Fight to make their incomes larger--mounted on their 'credit charges.' Held within the safety of this mundane existence-- Facing endless grey Mondays of dull nine to fives, We all climb the social ladder with a dogged persistence, Forging chains we shall carry for the rest of our lives. We cannot see through clothes may maketh man they cannot give us shelter-- On this mortal helter-skelter if our loyalties are torn, Between the values we believe in and the egos we are feeding-- We stand all together naked as the day we were born. And so cast off the lies that are our lives and find the truth within. SKYCLAD--the veil has lifted, SKYCLAD--now I see through, SKYCLAD--your mask of illusion, SKYCLAD--to the fake that is you. Financial wizards read their spells from filofaxes Concrete hells of their own making pass for Avalon. These men self-made by shrewd investing spend their weekends child-molesting, Lost in 'green-belt' dreams they do no wrong. Your mortgage payment rocket-- Like your blood pressure rising, Executive stresses are the dragons you fight. In your Armani armour you are practically shining, So have no code of honour--you must always be right. Just give me a simple life--my tastes are not demanding, And whatever life may hand me I'll accept it with good grace; For I'm just a simple lad with few ideas about my station, So ale and song will apt suffice to keep me in my place. How can you know the cost of everything yet never see its worth? If you think because you've paid the piper you should call the tune-- Well think again my friend life is a gain of chance, By Fate's command we win or lose, But still retain the right to choose If we should stumble on--or shed our cares and dance SKYCLAD--the veil has lifted, SKYCLAD--no I see through, SKYCLAD--your mask of illusion, SKYCLAD--to the fake that is you. You charge each other for the time and breath it takes to say 'good morning,' But the truth is slowly dawning--things are getting out of hand, We all pursue our shattered dreams along the roads to our own ruin-- Watch our empires sink and wash away like castles made of sand. And so cast off the lies that are your lives and find the truth within Other Skyclad lyrics: The Sky Beneath My Feet lyrics Trance Dance (A Dreamtime Walkabout) lyrics A Minute's Piece lyrics The Widdershins Jig lyrics Our Dying Island lyrics Intro: Pagan Man lyrics The Cradle Will Fall lyrics A Broken Promised Land lyrics Salt On The Earth (Another Man's Poison) lyrics Karmageddon (The Suffering Silence) lyrics Ring Stone Round lyrics Emerald lyrics A Room Next Door lyrics When All Else Fails lyrics The Declaration Of Indifference lyrics Spinning Jenny lyrics Thinking Allowed lyrics Cry Of The Land lyrics Schadenfreude lyrics A Near Life Experience lyrics The Wickedest Man In The World lyrics Earth Mother, The Sun And The Furious Host lyrics The Ilk Of Human Blindness lyrics Tunnel Visionaries lyrics A Word To The Wise lyrics Civil War Dance lyrics Cardboard City lyrics Sins Of Emission lyrics Land Of The Rising Slum lyrics The Once Piece Puzzle lyrics A Bellyful Of Emptiness lyrics A Dog In The Manger lyrics Gammadion Seed lyrics Womb Of The Worm lyrics The Truth Famine lyrics Still Spinning Shrapnel lyrics Just What Nobody Wanted lyrics Art Nazi lyrics Jeopardy lyrics Brimstone Ballet lyrics A Stranger In The Garden lyrics Another Fine Mess lyrics Turncoat Rebellion lyrics Halo Of Flies lyrics Desperanto (A Song For Europe?) lyrics Inequality Street lyrics The Wrong Song lyrics Snake Charming lyrics Penny Dreadful lyrics The Sinful Ensemble lyrics My Mother In Darkness lyrics The Spiral Starecase lyrics No Deposit, No Return lyrics Sabre Dance lyrics I Dubiuos lyrics Science Never Sleeps lyrics History Lessons lyrics If I Die Laughing, It'll Be an Act of God lyrics Great Blow for a Day Job lyrics Constance Eternal lyrics Postcard from Planet Earth lyrics Jumping my Shadow lyrics Bombjour! lyrics History Lessens (the Final examination) lyrics Kiss My Sweet Brass lyrics Vintage Whine lyrics On With Their Heads! lyrics The Silver Cloud's Dark Lining lyrics A Well Beside The River lyrics No Strings Attached lyrics Bury Me lyrics Cancer Of The Heart lyrics Little Miss Take lyrics Kiss My Sweet Brass~ lyrics |
