Jaws Of Heaven - Spock's Beard

Weary I was walking

A disassembled man

I wandered through creation

A ghost upon the land

Cloaked in threads of all my lifetimes

Deep-stitched into bone

Like a tapestry of shadows

Acid-etched in stone

Longing to remember

The day I left the pyre

And rose up like a phoenix

From a far-off ancient fire

Now I’m homesick for the ashes

Of the world I’ve known

On a path toward perdition

That I’ll walk alone

Cold night in a quiet town

I found a crowd and stood back as it grew

As it grew

Echoes of a place in time

When a million voices rose anew

Words of war spread faster than a prairie fire

Through the jaws of Heaven here we go

(here we go)

For on high the chosen told

Tales of old the faithful chose to hear

Chose to hear

Wake up all your sleeping souls

Gather up your guns the end is near

Words of war spread faster than a prairie fire

Through the jaws of Heaven here we go

(here we go (here we go))

Words of war spread faster than a prairie fire

Through the jaws of Heaven here we go

Marching on to glory in a battle just (in a battle just)

Staring down the devil eye to eye

Riding on a pale horse to deliver us (to deliver us)

Down into the darkest by and by

I awoke this morning

A lifetime come and gone

The ending of a journey

My destiny at dawn

Yesterday behind me

There is only now

Every circle that was closing

Is opening somehow

And it’s clear to see the reasons

Are woven deep in the wondering

Something left to live for

Nothing left to prove

Fallen saints and angels

Watch our every move

Shallow ran the river

That kept our worlds apart

As we fought to feed the hunger

In the hollows of our hearts

Now it’s clear to me the reasons

Are woven deep in the wondering

The rain’s return reveals a future

A gathering of souls

Once barren fields now green surrounds us

Our dreams of home are whole again

We’re whole again

Yesterday behind me

There is only now

Every circle that was closing

Is opening somehow

And it’s clear to see the reasons

Are woven deep in the wondering
