Capricorn Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

Capricorn, man of war 

Honor bright, the long midnight 

In the hour before, you lose your head 

The thief will paint the sunlight red, sunlight red 

Deep blue sea witnessed by 

Flocks of ships as they sail by 

In a tower of strength, the saber frail 

Will take the brig and raise the sail 

Caged until tame, Go-between is the name 

Scaring death to the strains of their crying 

Here lies the tale of escapists who sail 

With assassins who kill for the morning 

Don't paint the sunlight 

It's virgin bright 

Don't paint the sunlight 

Wait 'til the morning light 

Capricorn, man of war 

Honor bright, the long midnight 

In the hour before, you lose your head 

The thief will paint the sunlight red 

Caged until tame, Go-between is the name 

Scaring death to the strains of their crying 

Here lies the tale of escapists who sail 

With assassins who kill for the morning 

Don't paint the sunlight 

It's virgin bright 

Don't paint the sunlight 

Wait 'til the morning 

Don't paint the sunlight 

It's virgin bright 

Don't paint the sunlight 

Wait 'til the morning 

Don't paint the sunlight 

It's virgin bright 

Don't paint the sunlight 

Wait 'til the morning light
