The Seer lyrics

Artist  : Big Country 
Song : The Seer



 Send "The Seer" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Long ago I heard a tale I never will forget

The time was in the telling on the bank the scene
was set

The sky was rolling blindly on, the daylight had
not gone

She washed her hair among the stones and saw what
was to come

All this will pass

There will be blood among the corn and heroes in
the hills

But there is more to come my boy before you've
had your fill

Men will come and rape the soil as though it were
their own

And they will bathe their feet in oil as I have
bathed my own



All this will pass

All things must come

Just as I tell you here



Stones will stand together as if searching for
the stars

And all come crashing down again before they
reach too far

She turned to face the setting sun, I turned to
walk away

But then she called my name again and beckoned me
to stay



All this will pass

All things must come

Just as I tell you here



She told me of the famous sons who write their
names in peace

Yet be cut down before the time has come for our
release

Just as I tell you here

Even now I wait for the coming day

Even now she waits in the dawn

For the tales she tells, for the gifts that she
will sell

For the sight she knows, for a vision that still
grows

With the dream in her eyes no one's seen



I listened for so long that day that I can hardly
tell

If what she said was heaven sent or brought to
bear in hell

That men of hope would stand alone and still be
cast a lie

Just as Romans cast them on the day they were to
die



All this will pass

All things must come

Just as I tell you here



Even now I wait for the coming day

Even now she waits in the dawn

For the tales she tells, for the gifts that she
will sell

For the sight she knows, for a vision that still
grows

With the dream in her eyes no one's seen
