Pendragon, It's Just A matter Of Not Getting Caught

Um dos temas, para mim, mais interessantes do mais recente álbum dos Pendragon (Passion, de 2011).




A drop of rain a sheet of ice,
You float through life, you've been here twice
No broken bones, you're on your own
You settle down and make a loving home
You run your hands through swaying corn,
You know you have to die to be reborn

Are you so beatiful tomorrow?

What goes around comes around,
All the clichés of the world and dumbing down
I know your mind, I know your tricks,
Your verbal sound bytes, you lying git
The puncture wound, the heroin,
Unsettled bills, the mortal sin

The trail of slime, where you have been,
Did I say the right thing?
You rule by fear, truth or dare,
The purest words, you've no idea

Will you be so beautiful tomorrow?

No substitute for honest toil,
No antidote for idle hands
In seconds life can turn around,
Depends which way the coin will land

Someone, somewhere, surely
Must know what's going on
The more I live the less I know,
Are you sure I said the right thing?

You run your hand through swaying corn,
You have to die to be reborn
You raise your eyes to heavens above,
You'll have to come back here
Cos you didn't give... love.

TOONed by McLaren

Não sou fã de Formula 1 por aí além mas não resisto a destacar este vídeo muito engraçado, quiçá, também pela manifestação de rivalidades internas, não tão distantes da realidade de uma qualquer outra Scuderia quanto se possa pensar...

Pendragon, This Green and Pleasant Land (live)

Épico tema. Os curiosos (e atentos) a quem o título possa ter dito alguma coisa, e se se quiserem dar ao trabalho, podem continuar a abordá-lo (aprofundando-o) pelas seguintes vias:

Pendragon, Dance of the Seven Veils, Part 2: All Over Now





From the first drop of blood spit
To the last breath of man
Betrayal by the hand that leads the innocent hand
A friend the thought was a friend to fight
From William Wallace to Jesus Christ

It hurts when you say
You never knew me anyway
But it's all over now
It's so hard when you say
You never knew me anyway
But it's all over now

You drank from the poison cup
Not knowing it was a trap
It's strange but so true
The ones who love you will run you through
With swords and knives then run for their lives

Like the rose as petals fall
As the dance of the veils calls
But it's all over now
But it's all over now

Like a gypsy it seeks
To serenade you while you sleep
But is cutting out your heart
Leaving scars that run so deep
Like a moth to the flame
That just keeps burning through your life
But the lure of those sweet
Words of love keep calling

It hurts when you say
I never knew you anyway
But it's all over now
And it hurts when you say
I never knew you anyway
But it's all over now
And it hurts when you say
I never loved you anyway
But it's all over now
And it hurts when you say
I never knew you anyway
But it's all over now

We set sail on waters new
Our eyes set on a new world
It's time to wave goodbye
To the lives I touched and left behind
But through this melody and rhyme
I'll find some comfort here
