[The Zion Egg]: Lyrics

Shadows Fall

  1. Shadows Fall
  2. The Ballad Of Simon Diamond
  3. A Sparrow's Song

 

 

01. Shadows Fall

Morning calls, darkness draws
Upon this day a shadow falls
Silence walks through the halls
Since I've been gone, gone, gone

A hundred years from today
Lamp lights a blaze paves my way
Till jesus saves my early grave
I will be gone, gone, gone

Drop the anchor lift my heart
From stem to stern I'm torn apart
Mount my horse pack my cart
Tomorrow I'm gone, gone, gone

Seek the hull leave the deck
Silver moon silhouette
In due time you will forget
That I am gone, gone, gone
I will be gone, gone, gone
Since I've been gone, gone, gone
Tomorrow I'm gone, gone, gone

 

 

02. The Ballad Of Simon Diamond

Simon Diamond sold his soul
Changed his name by deed poll
Started out as Simon Russell
Lived his life inside a nutshell
Oooh ooooh Oooooooh Ooooooh

He couldn't take the public scorn
Changed from human to plant form
Now he swapped his legs for roots
His arms and soil are in cahoots

Oooh ooooh Oooooooh Ooooooh

What will become of Simon Diamond
Water himself
Can't change the climat
What will become of Simon Diamond
Water himself
Can't change the climat

Oooh ooooh Oooooooh Ooooooh

That'll do (That'll do) (16x)
Oooh Oooh

 


03. A Sparrow's Song

The day that you came, you'd gone so fast
That alas I had someone to blame for the sad sunken tone
The sparrows lonely morn? that cried silently
Through every sleepless day that (?) carries me away
To a faraway place where I can dream
To a rivers flow and mournfull sparrow sound of woe
