"The Thread Of Evermore" lyrics - SKYCLAD
Harbringer of death and slaughter
Next time round you'll be the slain
Refuse the dying man your water
Thirst when you come back again
Don't spare the rod, don't spoil the child
Hope you like to take a beating
Feed your face while others starve
You'd better learn to not miss eating
Shining beauty, fair and wise
Has served it's time as dim an' sallow
An honest judge seeks truth through eyes
Which once gazed lifeless from the gallows
Hands that heal the sick and lame
Long since held tools of inquisition
Tongues which speak words true and sane
Have chanted sermons on perdition
Cross the bridge that spans forever
Living thread of evermore
Without beginning, ending never
Living thread of evermore
See the footprints in the sand
Countless lifetimes gone before
Point our path with unseen hands
The living thread of evermore
From egg and sperm 'neath sticky sheet
To ash and bone or maggot meat
The way looks neither pleasant or too long
So have you stopped to wonder whether
If when weighted against a feather
All your deeds appear so big and strong?
Said, have you stopped to wonder whether
If when weighted against a feather
All your deeds appear so big and strong?
Cross the bridge that spans forever
Living thread of evermore
Without beginning, ending never
Living thread of evermore
See the footprints in the sand
Countless lifetimes gone before
Point our path with unseen hands
The living thread of evermore
(Light and dark complete the circle
Find the yang to fit the yin
Barren desert, lush green myrtle
Chase the wind to lift your wing)
From egg and sperm 'neath sticky sheet
To ash and bone or maggot meat
The way looks neither pleasant or too long
So have you stopped to wonder whether
If when weighted against a feather
All your deeds appear so big and strong?
Cross the bridge that spans forever
Living thread of evermore
Without beginning, ending never
Living thread of evermore
See the footprints in the sand
Countless lifetimes gone before
Point our path with unseen hands
The living thread of evermore
