Can Utility And The Coastliners Lyrics - Genesis Revisited Ii - Steve Hackett

The scattered pages of a book by the sea 

Held by the sand, washed by the waves 

A shadow forms cast by a cloud, 

Skimming by as eyes of the past, but the rising tide 

Absorbs them effortlessly claiming 

They told of one who tired of all singing, 

"Praise him, praise hi." 

"We heed not flatterers," he cried, 

"By our command, waters retreat, 

Show my power, halt at my feet," 

But the cause was lost, 

Now cold winds blow

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

For from the north overcast ranks advance 

Fear of the storm accusing with rage and scorn 

The waves surround the sinking throne 

Singing "Crown him, crown him," 

"Those who love our majesty show themselves!" 

All bent their knees 

Photos 

But he forced a smile even though 

His hopes lay dashed where offerings fell (where they fell). 

"Nothing can my peace destroy as long as none smile" 

More opened ears and opened eyes, 

And soon they dared to laugh 

See a little man with his face turning red 

Though his story's often told you can tell he's dead.
