paroles de chanson The Vigil - Live 1979 - Blue Öyster Cult

In a purple vision (vision)
Many thousand years ago
I saw the silent stranger (stranger)
Walk the earth alone

Twenty-seven faces (faces)
With their eyes turned to the sky
I've got a camera (camera)
Take an air-tight alibi

I know they're out there
We see them coming
Faster than the speed of light
They greet us in the dead of the night

(Somewhere), someday, someone
They'll be light and sound
They'll alight on the ground on which we stand

(Somewhere), someday, someone
Will help us to survive
They're gonna show us hell and bring us back alive

Well, I'm no poet
But I can't be fooled
The lies don't count

The whispers do
I hear the whispers on the wind
They say the earth has fallen due

We run in circles
Our days are numbered
Every night I look away
To the Heavens and I pray

(Come to us)
(Come to us)
(Come to us)
(Come to us)

Our lights are dim
Our roads are crumbling (down)
And we don't know what to do
We're sick and tired and dying to meet you (meet you)
'Cause we bit off more than we can chew
