Genesis - Time Table слова песни
A carved oak tableTells a tailOf times when kings and queens sipped wine from goblets goldAnd the brave would lead their ladies from out the room to arbours coolA time of valour, and legends bornA time when honour meant much more to a man than lifeAnd the days knew only strife to tell right from wrongThrough lance and swordWhy, why, can we never be sure till we dieOr have killed for an answerWhy, why, do we suffer each race to believeThat no race has been granderIt seems because through time and spaceThough names may change each face retains the mask it woreA dusty tableMusty smellsTarnished silver lies discarded upon the floorOnly feeble light descends through a film of greyThat scars the panesGone the carvingAnd those who left their markGone the kings and queens now only the rats hold swayAnd the weak must die according to nature`s lawAs old as theyWhy, why, can we never be sure till we dieOr have killed for an answerWhy, why, do we suffer each race to believeThat no race has been granderIt seems because through time and spaceThough names may change each face retains the mask it wore
