Scenario Lyrics - A Passion Play - Jethro Tull

In long years of ancient time, stood alone a friend of mine. 

Reflected by the ever-burning sigh of a god who happened by. 

And in the dawn, there came the song 

Of some sweet lady singing in his ear. 

Your god has gone, and from now on, 

You'll have to learn to hate the things you fear. 

We want to know, are we inside the womb? 

Of passion plays, in thy righteousness consumed? 

Or just in lush contentment of our souls?

And so began the age of man, 

And they left his body in the sand. 

Their glasses raised to a god on high, 

Who smiled upon them from the sky. 

Photos 

So take the stage. 

Spin down the ages. 

Loose the passion. 

Spill the rage upon your son 

Who holds the gun up to your head. 

The play's begun. 

Then God, the director, smells a rat. 

Pulls another rabbit from His hat. 

Sniffs the air and He says Well, that's that--I'm going.
