The Isle of Misanthrope

[00:37.52] Long ago in ancient times
[00:42.93] We learned of life from minstrels rhymes
[00:48.19] They told us tales of gods and kings
[00:53.88] And to beware when sirens sing
[00:59.27] But when we heard the clarion call
[01:04.95] The people laughed and built a wall
[01:10.30] We joyfully rehearsed the tune
[01:15.63] Like howling wolves at devil's moon
[01:21.24] We've all been taught our lines
[01:26.56] So righteous with our holy signs
[01:32.09] We were deaf to the lies
[01:34.78] We were blind and unkind and unwise
[01:42.90] And will we ever learn?
[01:48.59] All empires built will someday burn
[01:53.96] When they've lost all concern
[01:56.54] And they fail just to listen and learn
[02:04.15]
[02:10.30] No more life, no more air
[02:15.79] Like a ship of fools adrift on le mal de mare
[02:21.34] No more joy, no more hope
[02:26.50] Still we search for signs of truth as we learn to cope
[02:31.76] Lord from the Isle of Misanthrope
[02:39.22]
[04:05.69] And will we ever learn?
[04:11.27] All empires built will some day burn
[04:16.59] When they've lost all concern
[04:19.25] And they fail just to listen and learn
[04:27.50] No more light, no more air
[04:33.11] Like a ship of fools adrift on le mal de mare
[04:38.50] No more joy, no more hope
[04:43.81] Still we search for signs of truth as we learn to cope
[04:48.92] Lord from the Isle of the Misanthrope
[04:56.68]
[05:41.50] And when we crossed the bridge of sighs
[05:47.53] We bowed and said our last goodbyes
[05:52.55] Then set a course for better days
[05:58.50] Then once again we sailed away
[06:03.90]
