Peter Hammill - What Lies Ahead Lyrics

Lyrics What Lies Ahead - Peter Hammill



Deface, devalue,
Delete, defer, downgrade...
Underplaying expectations
Has become my stock in trade.
The excuses growing weaker,
Final settlement is due.
We′ve all come here in search of transparency,
Hoping only to see this through,
Making light of the work we shouldered
While remaining in the dark
About the energy we've expended
In maintaining the vital spark,
Keeping alive the vital spark.
Something′s best left unsaid,
No telling what lies ahead.
You'll experience some slight discomfort,
You might feel a small, sharp scratch,
Further side effects are most unlikely,
And any damage can be patched...
But every cure comes with a catch.
Let's leave the truth unsaid
About all those lies ahead.
