paroles de chanson Scorched Earth (Live, 2005 Leverkusen) - Van Der Graaf Generator
Just
one
crazy
moment
while
the
dice
are
cast,
He
looks
into
the
future
and
remembers
what
is
past,
Wonders
what
he's
doing
on
this
battlefield,
Shrugs
to
his
shadow,
impatient,
too
proud
yet
to
kneel.
In
his
wake
he
leaves
scorched
earth
and
work
in
vain;
Smoke
drifts
up
behind
him
- he
is
free
again,
Free
to
run
before
the
onslaught
of
a
deadly
foe,
Leaving
nothing
fit
for
pillage,
hardly
leaving
home.
It's
far
too
late
to
turn,
unless
it's
to
stone.
Charging
madly
forward,
tracks
across
the
snow;
Wind
screams
madness
to
him,
ever
on
he
goes,
Leaving
spoor
to
mark
his
passage,
trace
his
weary
climb.
Cross
the
moor
and
make
the
headland
-
Stumbling,
wayward,
blind.
In
the
end
his
footprints
extend
as
one
single
line.
This
latest
exponent
of
heresy
is
goaded
into
an
attack,
Persuaded
to
charge
at
his
enemy.
Too
late,
he
knows
it
is,
Too
late
now
to
turn
back,
too
soon
by
far
to
falter.
The
past
sits
uneasily
at
his
rear,
He's
walking
right
into
the
trap,
Surrounded,
but
striving
through
will
and
fear.
Ahead
of
him
he
knows
there
waits
an
ambuscade
But
the
dice
slip
through
his
fingers
And
he's
living
from
day
to
day,
Carrying
his
world
around
upon
his
back,
Leaving
nothing
behind
but
the
tell-tale
of
his
track.
He
will
not
be
hostage,
he
will
not
be
slave,
No
snare
of
past
can
trap
him,
though
the
future
may.
Still
he
runs
and
burns
behind
him
in
advanced
retreat;
Still
his
life
remains
unfettered
- he
denies
defeat.
It's
far
too
late
to
turn,
unless
it's
to
stone.
Leave
the
past
to
burn
- at
least
that's
been
his
own.
Scorched
earth,
that's
all
that's
left
when
he's
done;
Holding
nothing
but
beholden
to
no-one,
Claiming
nothing,
out
of
no
false
pride,
he
survives.
Snow
tracks
are
all
that's
left
to
be
seen
Of
a
man
who
entered
the
course
of
a
dream,
Claiming
nothing
but
the
life
he's
known
- This,
at
least,
has
been
his
own.
