PENDRAGON LYRICS

1. Everything

Cocoon cradle
Throws out its butterfly
Leaves behind its old life
Struggling to fly
A crouching praying mantis
A master of his art
Forked tongue and cunning
Straight through the heart
You're just a Mona Lisa
Staring at a screen
Knows nothing of the Nephilim
And all that goes unseen
Another would be Socrates
Just melting in the crowd
Doesn't know who Lennon was
The legend of The Shroud
Looking out in shades of grey
Looking on the inside out
Dreaming all your life away
Never realised that doubt
Looking out in shades of grey
Looking from the inside out
Dreaming all your life away
Never realised that doubt
Tongue of frog
Eats the fly
Sensational guru
The spectrum is a lie
Love is the new hate
Hate is the new love
We've all been roundly deceived
And swallowed all the bait
You're just a Mona Lisa
Staring at a screen
Doesn't know who Jesus was
Or everything in between
Another would be Socrates
Head stuck in a hole
Doesn't know who Mao was
Knows nothing really at all

2. Starfish and the Moon

The magic sparks of life in the blinking of an eye
Swirl and dance and curl then die
Lives only for that moment
Then are gone too soon
But they never really die
Just returning to the light
And all that lives between the poles and ice
Still dancing in the sky
Believe
And everything between
Starfish and the moon
His sadness is forever tattooed on his heart
Through time has echoed from the start
The word got lost somewhere falling by the way
Don't ever feel alone
You're only going home
Cried the diver to the sea
It's now or never
You have been loved forever
Believe
Between the starfish and the moon

3. Truth and Lies

They say the road to hell is paved with good intent
Goodbye to the age of reasoned thought and rhyme
Deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole
Deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole
This tangled web of lies we weave
When first we practice to deceive
Deep blue eyes
See truth and lies
Believing all they read
Pinched me so hard
To wake at last
And dreams that go unseen
And fleeting thoughts they want to feel
Never ever believe them ever again
Never ever believe them again
Never again
Never ever believe them again
Farewell my trusted friends
These books they burn transcend
The hunger we have for the knowledge
For wisdom and the wise
Deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole
Deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole
The lie told often enough as sooth becomes the truth
Deep blue eyes
See truth and lies
And waters green
And fields full of clouds
Always loved
In the mirror of simple souls
Oh Narcissus, how beautiful am I
He clutches at daffodils
Professing his tolerance
He's Lord of the Flies
He's crying inside
Never ever believe them ever again
Never ever believe them ever again
Never again
He's crying inside
Never ever believe them again
He clutches at daffodils
He's Lord of the Flies
Never ever believe them ever again
They'll wish they could turn back the clock
But it'll be too late
They'll drown in the innocence
And that will be their fate
They'll follow each other like abandoned sheep
And there's nothing they can do
As their love for one another slowly dies
Because they didn't love the truth

4. 360 Degrees

Joey said you're sat in George's chair
I wouldn't know 'cause I wasn't there
He drank his ale, got up on his knees
Fell down drunk land lovers' disease
Everything is blue and everything is green
And everything you see 360 degrees
Here I stand, I climb that hill
I fell to my knees, I took that pill
I looked out to sea wishing I was there
Feeling rather ill but walking on air
Everything is green and everything is blue
Everything you see 360 degrees
The wind and rain and sleet in my face
Five foot of mud up to my waist
Deep sea fishing for the mackerel of life
Searching for the sampol 360 degrees
I'm up to my knees in sea and breeze
I don't care if I've got seaweed for my hair
Everything is green and everything is blue
Everything you see 360 degrees
360 degrees
The life on the high seas
On the rocks in the rain
360 degrees
Everything is green
And everything is blue
Everything you see
360 degrees
All aboard the carpe diem
Love over fear
Well I mean of course it's disgusting
What, no beans?

5. Soul And The Sea

6. Eternal Light

Summer
Swallows and amazons
Fishing Huck Finn pebbles and ripples
And sunflowers
Get coffee, I've been up for hours
Up with the lark for the best waves
Don't want to miss the first daylight hour
Turn off that TV set and read a book instead
Read about the world and the universe
Don't fill your snowflake head
With how beautiful am I
Looking out in shades of grey
Looking on the inside out
Dreaming all her life away
Never realised that doubt
Here she sits eternally
Blowing at dandelions
Feel the night
Look up to the sky
The belt of Orion
And I realise that something has been kept from our hand
And I realise that something has been kept from our hand
A question of your path, part of some hidden bigger plan
You can try to tell the world
But the world won't understand
Search for your hidden light
Oh my eternal light
Never a day goes by

7. Water

This is my element
Time is irrelevant
How did it come to this?
I go to the water
When the wolf is at my door
She wraps her waves around you
And makes you feel loved once more
'Cause water is the truth
I can't turn my back on this
'Cause back on dry land is where all the trouble is
Lost in stories by Hemingway
Feel the salty ocean spray
Looking for the sampol stone
I could finally be happy
I could sheath the knife
Now that I've stopped searching for
The charmed but empty life
I go to the water
When the wolf is at my door
She wraps her waves around you
And makes you feel loved once more
'Cause water is the truth
I can't turn my back on this
'Cause back on dry land is where
I go to the water
I go to the water
When the wolf is at my door
She wraps her waves around you
And makes you feel loved once more
'Cause water is the truth
I can't turn my back on this
'Cause back on dry land is where all the trouble is

8. Whirlwind

You seek a charmed life
But it always returns to dust
Caught in a whirlwind
To seek constant approval
The illusion that fame brings
And being loved forever
When you touched my soul
I knew everything was gonna be alright
Can I tell you how much it means to see
Oyster catchers on some lonely beach in winter?
The house on the hill
With the raging log fire burning
I see through their window
They love each other still
But what you're looking for is
Not of this world
The hardship that you have will open your eyes

9. Who Really Are We?

To my mind it's a miracle we got this far
From sticks and stones to look beyond the stars
To my mind it's been a long hard road
From amoeba to inventing cars
And if you believe that and yet here we are
The genie got out of the jar
So here we are
Our ideologies are king
So don't become one of the blamers
Look deep within
And find love over fear
A spiritual rudder to steer
The books of Solzhenitsyn
The wisdom of kings
Censored plays and words
And all that can bring
It seeks to divide us
While pretending to unite us
And neither repented they of their murders
And I see their gulag faces
Frozen to the floor
Love's become the new hate's become the new love
And therein lies the biggest deception of all
You can't fight it
It's the law
And I see their gulag faces
Frozen to the floor
Our love for one another has faded away
And our hearts are harder than ever before
It seeks to divide us
While pretending to unite us
And still we feed that demon
And neither repented they of their murders

10. Afraid of Everything

Fear of falling down again
Believe in who you are again
Maybe one day we'll ride wild horses
Maybe one day we'll dive 10,000 feet
So don't be afraid of everything you meet
Leave behind your past
Live the moment to the last
And I'll be here like you asked
And fade away like a radio broadcast
Maybe one day we'll ride wild horses
Maybe one day we'll dive 10,000 feet
So don't be afraid of everything you meet
