Dan Jordan - Dyin' Man Lyrics

At the stillness of night all perception takes flight
As sure as the blind can see
Your fickle heart weighs more now than your guilt
May the sea, motionless and the hills that are blessed
Echo loyalty and dear fantasy
Through the lands that our fathers built

So take my hand, won't you sing for me
So that I may hear you whilst I can
Will you burry me, where the old tree grows
Cause' Pappas a dying man

Your eyes depict that you're weary and sick
But still you're younger than I
And shadows that dance upon the wall refuse to dim
Sensation compels hazy minds to affray
But to no prevail
In treason against their king

Take my hand, won't you sing for me
So that I may hear you whilst I can
Will you burry me, where the old tree grows
Cause' Pappas a dying man

Betrayed moments of silence are broke
By a preying chorus of loss
As the ships sail out far from humbled shores
Now creeps a slender hand
Over all that we fear to loose
Whilst hope is adrift in your war

Take my hand, won't you sing for me
So that I may hear you whilst I can
Will you burry me, where the old tree grows
Cause' Pappas a dying man

A colourless veil of woven betrayal
Drapes from a lover's crown
Dejected to roam a wilting and vacant land
No to prophesise and philosophise
Over such uncertainty
Is like a captain with no will to command

Take my hand, won't you sing for me
So that I may hear you whilst I can
Will you burry me, where the old tree grows
Cause' Pappas a dying man

The bedlam Sky of yesterday cries
To wash away our sins
With the promise of life that leads us to our fate
Don't sing in bitter, requiem for I can hear no more
They're just songs, for my queen
To forsake

Take my hand, won't you sing for me,
So that I may hear you whilst I can
Will you burry me, where the old tree grows
Cause' Pappas a dying man
