Lyrics Magna Charter - Rick Wakeman
Write
the
rules
for
the
games
we
play
Carved
in
stone
for
a
future
time
Broken
pieces
thrown
away
Broken
pieces
that
are
mine
Hope
in
words
so
nearly
true
Peaceful
times
are
long
unseen
Promises
I
give
to
you
Only
I
know
what
they
mean
Charter
for
a
freedom
lost
Made
by
man
who
knows
not
why
Leaving
youth
to
count
the
cost
They
only
suffer
times
gone
by
It
would
never
be
the
same
If
ruler
lived
beyond
his
past
He
would
have
to
live
his
game
And
speed
of
truth
is
never
fast
Should
there
ever
be
a
charter
With
words
to
change
the
course
of
man
To
give
us
peace
and
hope
and
understanding
And
take
us
back
to
where
it
all
began
The
sword
is
still
the
only
answer
The
loudest
sound
that
can
be
heard
The
scream
of
silence
as
the
fear
grows
stronger
Hear
the
people
Cry
to
no-one
No-one
hears
their
words
And
so
Time
moves
on
A
war
Waged
in
words
With
Kings
and
Church
and
common
man
But
no
winner
Or
beginner
Can
understand
the
battle
plan
But
the
battle
never
lasts
long
Even
though
it
is
an
old
song
And
the
singer
never
sings
the
same
old
Turn
the
melody
to
war
chant
Change
the
flowers
into
warplants
Kill
them
all
Just
to
swell
the
purse
Pray
to
the
Father
Peace
ever
after
Only
love
Up
above
Glory
to
the
war
So
for
peace
we
wage
a
war
As
in
war
we
fight
for
peace
Death
to
all,
be
rich
or
poor
Comes
in
such
a
bloody
feast
Will
they
meet
in
a
future
time?
Will
it
happen
yet
again?
Only
God
knows
the
truth
they
say
Only
He
is
ahead
of
our
time
Where
is
the
charter
made
for
love?
Where
is
the
charter
for
killing
war?
Sadly
hidden
in
the
warrior′s
glove
Making
light
for
ever
more
Magna
Charter
shows
a
path
Over
which
no
truth
can
stray
Floating
as
a
neutral
craft
along
its
way
Should
there
ever
be
a
charter
With
words
to
change
the
course
of
man
To
give
us
peace
and
hope
and
understanding
And
take
us
back
to
where
it
all
began
The
sword
is
still
the
only
answer
The
loudest
sound
that
can
be
heard
The
screams
of
silence
as
the
fear
grows
stronger
Hear
the
people
Cry
to
no-one
No-one
hears
their
words.
