07 GENESIS-A TRICK OF THE TAIL
[00:07.13] Bored of the life on the city of gold
[00:11.14] He'd left and let nobody know.
[00:15.39] Gone were the towers he had known from a child,
[00:19.14] Alone with the dream of a life
[00:23.13] He travelled the wide open road,
[00:26.14] The blinkered arcade,
[00:28.38] In search of another to share in his life.
[00:32.39] Nowhere.
[00:35.38] Everyone looked so strange to him.
[00:39.13] They've got no horns and they've got no tail
[00:42.88] They don't even know of our existence.
[00:46.63] Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
[00:51.14] That lies in the deep distance, he cried
[00:55.88] And wept as they led him away to a cage
[00:59.13] Beast that can talk, read the sign.
[01:02.88] The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame
[01:06.88] And questioned his story again.
[01:10.88] But soon they grew bored of their prey
[01:14.38] Beast that can talk?
[01:16.13] More like a freak or publicity stunt.
[01:20.14] Oh
[01:21.13] No.
[01:23.14] They've got no horns and they've got no tail
[01:30.89] They don't even know of our existence.
[01:34.38] Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
[01:38.63] That lies in the deep distance, he cried
[01:42.88] And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out.
[01:46.89] He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out:
[01:58.14] There, beyond the bounds of you weak imagination
[02:06.38] Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold.
[02:13.13] Let me take you there, show you a living story
[02:21.63] Let me show you others such as me
[02:27.38] Why did I ever leave?
[02:35.38] They've got no horns and they've got no tail
[02:40.88] They don't even know of our existence
[02:42.88] Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
[02:47.13] That lies in the deep distance, he cried
[02:50.89] And wept.
[02:59.38] And so we set out with the best and his horns
[03:03.13] And his crazy description of home.
[03:06.88] After many days journey we came to a peak
[03:10.63] Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out.
[03:15.13] We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw
[03:20.14] A spire of gold - no, a trick of the eye that's all,
[03:26.63] But the beast was gone and a voice was heard:
[03:30.89] They've got no horns and they've got no tail
[03:34.64] They don't even know of our existence
[03:38.13] Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
[03:42.64] That lies in the deep distance
[04:07.63] Hello friend, welcome home.
