The Silver Cloud's Dark Lining - Skyclad

Sailing of the century — a human life raft floating

the jaws of the void approaching — growing closer by the hour

Played lottery with destiny — could not believe you’d lose

Collect your one-way ticket for «the Good Ship Earth’s"last cruise

So play today

go make your hay beneath a warm sun shining

But bear in mind one day you’ll find the silver cloud’s dark lining

Poor general intelligence — all that is rank promoted

Distended bellies bloated — gorged on candy-coated lies

Though honest as the day is long — dark nights are drawing in yet for one grow tired of this — a devil sick of sin

So play today

go make your hay beneath a warm sun shining

But bear in mind one day you’ll find the silver cloud’s dark lining

Stand in line and pay your dime, to watch Atlantis rising

When do you’ll see right through to the silver cloud’s dark lining

Oblivion comes calling — expel your last breath praying

Hear the hounds of Hades baying — find there’s nowhere left ot run

Across the fence midst greener grass a serpent winks his eye

for each of us he’s baked a slice of home made apple-pie !

So play today

go make your hay beneath a warm sun shining

But bear in mind one day you’ll find the silver cloud’s dark lining

Played lottery with destiny — could not believe you’d lose

Collect your one-way ticket for «the Good Ship Earth’s"last cruise

So play today

go make your hay beneath a warm sun shining

But bear in mind one day you’ll find the silver cloud’s dark lining

Stand in line and pay your dime, to watch Atlantis rising

When do you’ll see right through to the silver cloud’s dark lining
