Текст песни GENESIS - Driving The Last Spike




In the early 1800's, large groups of mainly unskilled labourers builtEngland's Railways. The cost in human terms alone was very high ...Leaving my family behind menot knowing what lay aheadwaving goodbye, as I left them in tearsremembering all we'd said( )I looked to the sky, I offered my prayersI asked Him for guidance and strengthbut the simple beliefs of a simple manlay in His hands, and on my headI gave everything that they wantedbut still they wanted morewe sweat and we toiledgood men lost their livesI don't think they knew what forI sold them my heartI sold them my soulI gave everything I hadbut they couldn't break my spiritmy dignity fought back,fightbackcan you hear mecan you seeDon't you hear medon't you seeWe worked in gangs for all we were worththe young boys pulling the wagonswe were digging the tunnel, shifting the earthit was then that it happened.No-one knew how the cracks appearedbut as it fell they all disappearedstone fell like rainCan an you hear me,Can you seeDon't you hear meCan you breatheThe smoke cleared, the dust it settledNo one knew how many had diedall around there were broken menthey'd said it was safe, they'd liedyou could hear the cries, you could smell the fearbut good fortune that day was mineand it occurred to me that the heart of a good manit seems is hard to find.Can you hear me,can you seeDon't you hear medon't you seeWe worked, how we worked likethe devil for our paythrough the wind, through the snow,through the rainBlasting, cutting through Gods country like a knifesweat stinging my eyes, there has to be a better lifeBut I can hear my children cryI can see the tears in their eyesmemories of those I've lft behindstill ringing in my earsWill I ever go back againWill I ever see her face againI'll never forget the nightAs they waved goodbye to their fathersWe came from the South,we came from the Northwith picks and with spadesand a new kind of order
