lyrics
The Solomon tree Karl Robins 23/03/2011
Who's that sitting on the rich man's fence, in the shadow of Lucifer's moon?
Cold winds carrying age old songs, dancing to a sinister tune.
Chorus
We're not going from the top to the bottom,
But we're going from the root to the tree.
Sun and moon give light and shade...and the river runs free
Who's that waiting in mammon's temple, at the altar of envy and greed?
Spitting out life with its twisted features, Burying the common seed
Chorus ; as before
Ref
High, high, high on the mountain, Strange days by the Solomon tree
Shine on, flow like the fountain, True, so true and free.
Who's that singing with arms raised high, hoping that somebody hears?
Who's that falling into time and space, to the echoes of the passing years
Chorus : as before
