Текст, перевод и аккорды “Gates Of Eden”
- Of war and peace the truth just twists Its curfew gull it glides Upon four-legged forest clouds The cowboy angel rides With his candle lit into the sun Though it's glow is waxed in black All except beneath the trees of Eden The lamp post stands with folded arms It's iron claws attached To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail Through its shadow's metal badge All in all can only fall With a crashing but meaningless blow No sound ever comes from The Gates of Eden The savage soldier sticks his head In the sand and then complains Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf But still remains Upon the beach where hound dogs bay At ships with tattooed sails Heading for The Gates of Eden The time rusted compass blade Aladdin and his lamp Sits with Utopian hermit monks Side saddle on the golden calf And on their promises of paradise You will not hear a hush All except inside The Gates of Eden Relationships of ownership They whisper in the wings To those condemned to act accordingly And wait for succeeding kings And I try to harmonize with songs The lonesome sparrow sings There are no kings inside The Gates of Eden The kingdoms of experience In the precious winds they rot While paupers change possessions Each one wishing for what the other has got And the princess and the prince discuss What's real and what's not It doesn't matter inside The Gates of Eden The foreign sun it squints upon A bed that is never mine As friends and others, strangers From their fates try to resign Leaving men holy and totally free To do anything they wish to do but die And there are no trials inside The Gates of Eden At dawn my lover comes to me And tells me of her dreams With no attempts to shovel the glimpse Into the ditch of what each one means At times I think there are no words But these to tell me what's true There are no truths outside The Gates of Eden
