Emerson, lake & palmer the miracle lyrics

So here we stand between the gates

Upon the dawn the eagle waits

His tallons shine like daggers

On the wings of revolution

In pain the madman staggers

But there is no solution



Another sword upon a throne

But now the jester laughs alone



Beneath this cloak of treason

Appears a thousand faces

The truth must stand to reason

For those who's heart it chases



Beyond the world of mortal man

Within this sanctuary the spectre begins to tremble

They lay his spear upon the plan



On a sea of diamonds lies a ship of glass

Through the mist the torches pass



Their banners fly in splendour

The ghosts of night decended

With grace their souls surrender

The seal must be defended



Still the dragons reign supreme

Breathing fire till we scream

They leave us nothing but our dreams



No shield can save us

It's gonna take a miracle

We're searching for a miracle

It's gonna take a miracle

We're searching for a miracle



Stand clear, there's storm above

And there is something left to fear

All speed, before the blade is drawn

And there is blood upon the seed



Let no one yield we're on the field

Where deeds eclipse the sun

Where the brave are told on a thread of gold

The tapestry is spun

As they speak of dreams their amour gleams

There's calm before the storm

But all can see their destiny

The bishop takes the pawn



In the sky the arrows fly

Each one to it's mark

Defend the true lead us through

This voyage in the dark

Make us strong you know right from wrong

Teach us what it's worth

Cos every heart that aches is what it takes

To save our mother earth



Lay your life upon the line

It's death for glory every time

You give up yours and I'll keep mine



No shield can save us

It's gonna take a miracle

We're searching for a miracle

It's gonna take a miracle

We're searching for a miracle



So here we stand between the gates

Upon the dawn the eagle waits

His tallons shine like daggers

On the wings of a revolution

In the pain the madman staggers

But there is no solution



Still the dragons reign supreme

Breathing fire till we scream

They leave us nothing but our dreams



No shield can save us

It's gonna take a miracle

We're searching for a miracle

It's gonna take a miralce

We're searching for a miracle
