Burning Rope - 2007 Remaster Lyrics

[01:12.13] The warming sun, the cooling rain,
[01:16.61] The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
[01:21.31] The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
[01:26.23] Yet only eagles seem to pass on through.
[01:30.92] The words of love, the cries of hate,
[01:36.03] And the man in the moon who seduced you
[01:39.44] Then finally loosed you.
[01:47.78] You climbed upon a burning rope to escape the mob below,
[01:56.30] But you had put the flaming out so that others could not follow,
[02:04.40] To be out of the bounds and the barks of those who do not wish you well.
[02:15.29] You must blaze a trail of your own, unknown, alone,
[02:24.04] But keep in mind
[02:26.81] Don't live to-day for tomorrow like you were immortal.
[02:32.99] The only survivors on this world of ours are
[02:38.12] The warming sun, the cooling rain,
[02:42.81] The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
[02:47.50] The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
[02:52.42] Yet only eagles seem to pass on through.
[02:56.88] The words of love, the cries of hate,
[03:02.22] And the man in the moon who seduced you
[03:05.84] Then finally loosed you.
[05:19.82] You're old and disillusioned now as you realise at last,
[05:29.14] That all all you have accomplished here will have soon all turned to dust.
[05:37.09] You dream of a future after life, well that's as maybe, I don't know.
[05:47.75] But you can't take what you left behind, you're all alone.
[05:56.30] So keep in mind
[05:59.06] Don't live to-day for tomorrow like you were immortal.
[06:05.05] The only survivors on this world of ours are
[06:10.58] The warming sun, the cooling rain,
[06:14.85] The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
[06:19.77] The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
[06:24.46] Yet only eagles seem to pass on through.
[06:29.57] The words of love, the cries of hate,
[06:34.26] And the man in the moon...
[06:41.74]
