PENDRAGON LYRICS

1. Believe

[Instrumental]

2. No Place For The Innocent

Do you believe in Darwin's theory of evolution
Do you believe in the President,
The Bible, The Constitution.
Do you believe in innocence,
Do you believe in thought control.
Do you believe in wonderland,
Or that there might just be no Al Quaeda at all.

This is no place for the innocent.
This is no place for the broken-hearted.
This is no place for the innocent.
This is no place for the weak, faint-hearted.
These are the days of the ambassadors of wonder.
These are the days of love.
These are the days of the architects of life,
So open up your eyes.

Do you believe in miracles,
In alien intervention.
The Koran, The Star of David.
Do you believe in the web the spinners spun.
Do you believe in the Blair war on terror.
Do you believe what you were taught at school.
Do you believe in the xenophanes.
It's a garble of intimations around the world.

This is no place for the innocent.
This is no place for the broken-hearted.
This is no place for the innocent.
This is no place for the weak, faint-hearted.
These are the days of the ambassadors of wonder.
These are the days of love.
These are the days of the architects of life,
So open up your eyes.

Society is so well intentioned.
A star is reborn in the East.
The secret societies of Babylon.
What now to believe.

The eyes of the world are upon you.
Watching each move that is made.
I journey to find the God of dreams.

The secret societies of Babylon.
A star is reborn in the east.
Hutchings and pyramids of men.

The meaning of which is forgotten,
Lies under a deep bed of sand.
Far from the view of human eyes.

Far from the view of human eyes...

3. Wisdom Of Solomon

It would take the wisdom of Solomon,
To answer all your questions.
I could fake all that you want to hear,
But you cannot change my thoughts.
Throwing all common sense and reason to the leaves.
And you sit there like a 60's flower hippie prophet,
Spewing arrogance and junk.

And your reptile brain insists that black is white is black.
Spun like some icon Buddha.
Gone but you'll be back.
They hear no evil.
They speak no evil.
The three wise monkeys see no evil.
And now they're told.
Think no evil.

It would take the wisdom of Solomon,
To end this futile game.

Void of all responsibility,
Encouraged by some inner call.
You fought in God,
Your lawless society.
Now your voodoo heads must roll.

There's anger in your twisted thoughts,
And acid on your tongue.
Tapping away like a zombie robot,
Scared that you've been caught.
They hear no evil.
They speak no evil.
The three wise monkeys see no evil.
And now they're told.
Think no evil.

They hear no evil.
They speak no evil.
They see no evil.

Think no evil.

4. The Wishing Well: 1. For Your Journey

Destination unknown,
Steer this great ship through time and space.
Through cold and dark abyss
Are we falling into free-fall,
Set the controls and steer that great ship, Mankind.
Through the black holes, past the asteroids,
To safety...

As you take each others hand,
And you reach into each others heart.
Pray that moment never crumbles away,
And dies.
Becomes as the dusty books,
The broken wings of butterflies.
Don't lose that moment of thought,
That human touch.
So what if you're wrong?
Still means so much?
And when you feel broken,
And you look up to the stars.
When the humans could no longer love,
Remember who you are.
And as man's time slips away,
Through the all-boss of fate,
Remember you are as a molecule,
Some fool of heart,
Which will always make things great.

You might well be wrong.
Is it better to be happy , or be right?
Never let those eyes twinkle out.
Just always walk in the light.
And carry the crazy, the wild, the excitable, the child.
And when you fall to your knees,
And your eyes are full of tears.
It's time to make things new.
Listen to your heart.
I beg you, Please.

5. The Wishing Well: 2. Sou' By Sou'west

As the first snowflakes fall,
The toys in the window cast their spell.
On children's eyes,
Sparkle in the night.
Laying down to sleep,
Per chance to dream.
Nothing left but ashes,
Just a case, a date, a name.

So, plot a course Mr. Bligh,
For Sou' by Sou' West.
These deep shark infested seas,
Must do now what's for the best.

So, plot a course Mr. Bligh,
For Nor' by Nor' East.
We must hold fast now,
With tears in our eyes and the thought of our Heaven is on our cheeks.

A coat of arms, a unicorn chained.
The lion, the dragon it sleeps,
It's not slain.
Born to slavery is human fate.
I want to believe in something that's great.

I want to destroy these draconian laws,
And self rule the heavens,
Closing all doors.

So, plot a course Mr. Bligh,
For Sou' by Sou' West.
These deep shark infested seas,
Must do now what's for the best.

So, plot a course Mr. Bligh,
For Nor' by Nor' East.
We must hold fast now,
With tears in our eyes and the thought of our Heaven is on our cheeks.

Then one day we woke up and said, "Maybe we'll change".
Until then, throw a coin in the wishing well.

Then one day we woke up and said, "Maybe today we'll change".
Until then, throw a coin in the wishing well

I saw church,
I saw steeples,
I saw colours,
I saw people.
Harlequin and Columbine,
Disneyland to Frankenstein.
(From the people who brought you Einstein,
The people who brought you Tolstoy)
The people who brought you Lagerfelt and Klein,
Rockefeller, Monet, and Charles Manson doing time.
Rothschild, Pol Pot, and Chaplain if you must,
And the Vatican in all sincerity,
It's in your Gold we trust.

6. The Wishing Well: 3. We Talked

We talk music, we talk nothing
We talk girls, we talk nothing
In fact, all the things that made us who we are,
Candlelight and laughter,
Wine and much much more.

Some get love, some get rich,
Some get famous seven year itch.
But if you ever know exactly who you are
So uncultured, human rights,
Are worth much more by far.

I saw coloured lights hanging from the trees
Celebrating who we are, this memory stayed with me.
But if you want to know exactly who you are,
Come to see the boys one night,
Our music's set us free.

Hello morning filled with so much rain.
Don't think I can ever drink that much again.
Where's your sense of humour,
The spirit of your youth.
Let's get our day and bag some weights,
Tonight we'll just be rude.

They say this is the path,
And final age of man,
The best is yet to come,
Before we kick the can.
Question everything,
Believe nothing.
We talk music,
We talk nothing.

They say this is the path,
And final age of man.
Human culture, Human rights,
We've all gone much too far.

So let's get out and hit some dirt,
Before we ford a boat.
Hello morning, Hello pain.
Don't think I could ever drink that much again.
Question everything,
Believe nothing.
We talk music,
We talk nothing.

7. The Wishing Well: 4. Two Roads

Two roads entwined and never ending,
Two souls, upon each other are depending.
And in my mind, my heart.
And in my heart new words.

Nude flesh, glowing in the halflights
New words, that only they can understand.
The mortal man may know,
You never let those feelings show.

This is the difference in the sun and the moon
So wrong, you don't know anything.
This is the difference in the positive and negative.
So right, but do you really want to fight.
Shear! Like a waterfall.

Two roads,
Long and never ending.
Two souls,
Upon each other are depending.
Two roads,
And down that long path they go.
And in my mind, my heart.
And in my heart, new words.
Her thoughts, floating like an iceberg.
It's such a lot to call unpractical mandate
Keep it safe for your journey home.

Two roads,
Long and never ending.
Two souls,
Upon each other are depending.
Two roads,
And I took the one that's travelled.
Two roads,
But you were always in the east and in the west

Two roads,
Shear like the raindrops on my tongue.
Maybe the twain someday shall meet.

8. Learning Curve

Warriors of the search.
First draw of dark side, right down to a church.

I would fight for you.
I would die for you.
I would fill up the holes in the sky for you.
I would ride for you.
I would fly for you.
I would dive to the ocean floor for you.

It's about faith.
It's about time and space.
It's about everything in your life you must face.
It's about life.
It's about love.
It's about death.
It's about all you can feel,
And all that's unseen.

Little white dots on the TV screen.
Caterpillars to butterflies.
Your big ideas open up your eyes.
Your life tattooed upon your face.
A blueprint of some other place.

So, these visions on your journey.
These things need time and space.
The learning curve is slow, I know, but will click into place.
Do you know the secrets of the plain leaves?
Do you know the binding power of the lion?
Your life tattooed upon your face.
A blueprint of some other place.
Deepest scar but show no fear.
Your journeys end is near.

9. The Edge Of The World

Sometimes I feel like a twig floating down a stream
Don't know where it's going
Don't know what it means
And that stream always ends up at the sea
And it's strange, as this is where I wanna be
And I know I'll find those of my kind
To share these words and rhyme

Sometimes I feel like a fish in the sea
And I realise that we're all already here with me

And as I stand on the edge of the world
And I look into your eyes
I realise you're still there
I thought you'd gone, like the windblown leaves
Then I remember in Zabrze
Chile and in Poland our homeland
Dzien dobry, jak sie mamy
I was scared I wouldn't see you again
I just couldn't see how
But from an acorn grows an oak
I should know that by now

So I stand on the edge of the world
And I look into your eyes
And I realise
That this was never meant to end
And I can now call you my friends

Sometimes I feel like a twig in a stream
Don't know where it's going
Don't know what it means
And I know I'll find some peace of mind
And I will always be back some day
And as I travel the far points of the earth
I will keep you in my mind
Sometimes I feel like a twig in a stream
Heading out to sea
It's then I know I'll never be alone
It's then I know I'm home
