Lack Of Limits - Dear green place

Tekst :

It was by the clear Molendinar Burn
Where it meets and runs with the river Clyde
And they tell the tale of the holy one
Who was fishing down by the riverside
A holy man, from Fife he came
His name they say was Kentigern
And by the spot were the fish was caught
The dear green place was born

Now the salmon ran through the river stream
And they salted them by the banks of Clyde
And the faces glowed as the silver flowed
The place arose by the riverside
There was cloth to dye and hose to buy
The traders came from miles around
And they raised a glass to the dear green place
The place that was a town


There is a town that once was green and a river flowed to the sea
The river flows forever on, but the dear green place is gone

When the furnace came to fire the iron
And folk were thrown from their farmland
Then the irishmen and the highland men
And the hungry men came with willing hands
They wanted work, a place to live, their empty bellies needed filled
And the farmyard was another world
From the dirty overcrowded mill

Now you may have heard of the foreign trade
And fortunes made by tobacco lords
But the working man slaved his life away
And an early grave was his sole reward
A dreary room, a crowded slum, disease and hunger everywhere
And the price to pay was another day
To fight the anger and despair

A thousand years have been here and gone (it is gone)
Since Kentigern saw the banks of Clyde (it is gone)
How many dreams and how many tears (it is gone)
In a thousand years of a city s life (it is gone)

It was by the clear Molendinar Burn (it is gone)
Where it meets and runs with the river Clyde (it is gone)
Perhaps tomorrow it yet may be (it is gone)
The dear green place again (it is gone)

    Judas rising

    White bolts of lightning
    Came out of nowhere
    Blinded the darkness
    Creating the storm

    War in the heavens
    Vengeance ignited
    Torment and tempest
    Attacks like a swarm
    Forged out of flame from chaos to destiny
    Bringer of pain forever undying

    Judas is Rising

    Eternal betrayer
    Ice cold and evil
    Taking no prisoners
    Dark prince of the world

    Humanity trembles
    Enslaving you sinners
    You can t beg for...

    Geile zeit

    Hast du geglaubt,
    hast du gehofft,
    dass alles besser wird?
    Hast du geweint,
    hast du gefleht,
    weil alles anders ist?
    Wo ist die Zeit,
    wo ist das Meer
    Sie fehlt,
    Sie fehlt hier,
    du fragst mich,
    wo sie geblieben...

    Colors of the wind

    You think you own whatever land you land on
    The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
    But I know every rock and tree and creature
    Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

    You think the only people who are people
    Are the people who look and think like you
    But if...

    Oh John, oh John, oh John

    Never lose the memory of April twenty-six
    Your hands designed my body
    You autographed my hip
    I lost all my worry
    I lost all sense of time
    My fears evaporated
    When you held me in your...
