paroles de chanson The Mystery of the Flannan Isle Lighthouse (Demo 1968) - Genesis



Flannan Isle lies in the South by the Point of Kedgeree
47 miles from land in the roughest part of the sea
(Oh) on the finest day, the sea is black
(Oh) they say no one has ever come back from there
They say the wicked spirits haunt the lighthouse in the night
Fierce ghosts of many men who tried to stop the warning light
Waves are hurled against the ugly rocks
Spray is changed at once to a wall of ice
Bird who wants to rest its tired wings
Lands, and it is turned to a dummy of stone
The island's rocks have many caves that smell of dying flesh
They lure the strangers to their maze of never ending length
(Oh) the empty cave is filled with sound
(Oh) a mad man lying in the ground below
Each month a boat is sucked to perish by the rocky isle
Each time the moon is full, the currents are directed there
Boats that sail too near to Flannan Isle
Feel the weather change and they turn away
If they dare to look behind them, still
Screams of disappointment fill the air



Writer(s): Anthony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Michael Rutherford, Peter Brian Gabriel
