about

One sure fine classic of a song taken originally from the bands super 1972 album Foxtrot. This our 15th tribute song to the super band Genesis and I hope you enjoy....

lyrics

The scattered pages of a book by the sea.
Held by the sand, washed by the waves.
A shadow forms, cast by a cloud,
Skimming by, as eyes of the past,
but the rising tide absorbs them, effortlessly claiming.

They told of one who tired of all,
singing, "Praise him, praise him."
"We heed not flatterers," he cried,
"By our command, waters retreat,
Show my power, halt at my feet,"
But the cause was lost, now cold winds blow.

Far from the north, overcast ranks advance
Fear of the storm, accusing with, rage and scorn.
The waves surround the sinking throne,
Singing "Crown him, crown him,"

"Those who love , our majesty , show themselves!"
All bent their knee.

(Break)

But he forced a smile even though his hopes, lay dashed where offerings fell ...
(where they fell).

(Break)

"Nothing can my peace destroy as long as none smile."
More opened ears and opened eyes,
And soon they dared to laugh.

See a little man, (with his face turning red)
Though his story's often told, (you can tell he's dead)
