Burning rope lyrics

Artist  : Genesis 
Song : Burning rope
 
The warming sun, the cooling rain
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the
breeze
The lightning bolt that clears the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
The words of love, the cries of hate
And the man in the moon who seduced you
Then finally loosed you

You climbed upon a burning rope to escape the mob
below
But you had put the flaming out so that others
could now follow
To be out of the bounds and the barks of those
who do not wish you well

You must blaze a trail of your own, unknown,
alone
But keep in mind
Don't live today for tomorrow like you were
immortal
The only survivors on this world of ours are

The warming sun, the cooling rain
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the
breeze
The lightning bolt that clears the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
The words of love, the cries of hate
And the man in the moon who seduced you
Then finally loosed you

You're old and disillusioned now as you realise
at least
That all you have accomplished here will have
soon all turned to dust
You dream of a future after life, well that's as
maybe, I don't know

But you can't take what you left behind, you're
all alone
So keep in mind
Don't live today for tomorrow like you were
immortal
The only survivors on this world of ours are

The warming sun, the cooling rain
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the
breeze
The lightning bolt that clears the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
The words of love, the cries of hate
And the man in the moon who seduced you
Then finally loosed you
