Letra da Música In The Wake Of Poseidon King Crimson

Plato's spawn cold ivyed eyes
Snare truth in bone and globe
Harlequins coin pointless game
Sneer jokes in parrot's robe
Two women weep, Dame Scarlet Screen
Sheds sudden theatre rain
Whilst dark in dream the Midnight Queen
Knows every human painIn air, fire, earth and water
World on the scales
Air, fire, earth and water
Balance of change
World on the scales
On the scalesBishop's kings spin judgement's blade
Scratch "Faith" on nameless graves
Harvest hags Hoard ash and sand
Rack rope and chain for slaves
Who fireside fear fermented words
Then rear to spoil the feast
Whilst in the aisle the mad man smiles
To him, it matters leastHeroes hands drain stones for blood
To whet the scaling knife
Magi blind with visions light
Net death in dread of life
Their children kneel in Jesus till
They learn the price of nails
Whilst all around our mother earth
Waits balanced on the scales
