The Old Barge Lyrics - Manticora

["A long awaited journey. Now we're finally on the way. We leave behind the comfort of the poet's town..."] 

Beautiful this broken town , even though it's fled by man 

White doves flying in the sun , above desert sands 

Where the city stood , now ruins stands 

Sitting in Darkness with Tales To Tell 

Arguing , drinking all night as well 

The last fair or pilgrims with answers to gain 

To go to the valley and meet with "The One" in vain 

Drifting down the river 

From the railing we stare 

Journey on to the sea of grass 

The old barge will take us there 

Led along by mysterious crew 

Bright shiny eyes and skins of blue 

The last fair of pilgrims with answers to gain 

To go to the valley and meet with "The One" in vain 

Drifting down the river 

From the railing we stare 

Journey on to the sea of grass 

The old barge will take us there
