Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Miracle Lyrics

So here we stand between the gates Upon the dawn the eagle waits His tallons shine like daggers On the wings of revolution In pain the madman staggers But there is no solution Another sword upon a throne But now the jester laughs alone Beneath this cloak of treason Appears a thousand faces The truth must stand to reason For those who’s heart it chases Beyond the world of mortal man Within this sanctuary the spectre begins to tremble They lay his spear upon the plan On a sea of diamonds lies a ship of glass Through the mist the torches pass Their banners fly in splendour The ghosts of night decended With grace their souls surrender The seal must be defended Still the dragons reign supreme Breathing fire till we scream They leave us nothing but our dreams No shield can save us It’s gonna take a miracle We’re searching for a miracle It’s gonna take a miracle We’re searching for a miracle Stand clear, there’s storm above And there is something left to fear All speed, before the blade is drawn And there is blood upon the seed Let no one yield we’re on the field Where deeds eclipse the sun Where the brave are told on a thread of gold The tapestry is spun As they speak of dreams their amour gleams There’s calm before the storm But all can see their destiny The bishop takes the pawn In the sky the arrows fly Each one to it’s mark Defend the true lead us through This voyage in the dark Make us strong you know right from wrong Teach us what it’s worth Cos every heart that aches is what it takes To save our mother earth Lay your life upon the line It’s death for glory every time You give up yours and I’ll keep mine No shield can save us It’s gonna take a miracle We’re searching for a miracle It’s gonna take a miracle We’re searching for a miracle So here we stand between the gates Upon the dawn the eagle waits His tallons shine like daggers On the wings of a revolution In the pain the madman staggers But there is no solution Still the dragons reign supreme Breathing fire till we scream They leave us nothing but our dreams No shield can save us It’s gonna take a miracle We’re searching for a miracle It’s gonna take a miralce We’re searching for a miracle Emerson, Lake & Palmer Lyrics The Miracle Lyrics
