Capercaillie - Black Fields lyrics
[Capercaillie - Black Fields lyrics]
From a window, a vision of your world
Looks surreal in a blue and grey surround
I'm here in a corner
A picture on your screen
I'm a satellite beam, a bystander
And I'm watching the ship going down
With the deadliest cargo inbound
Politicians, their axes ground and clean
Survey the scene in a well-rehearsed alarm
Stand back from the shoreline with
A silver dollar smile
And you put us on file, leave an island
To the curse of the spray and the spill
Worse things happen at sea and they will
And how many birds make a
Sacrifice in the black fields
How many wars 'til we pay the
Price in the black fields
I know disaster grows without looking
Twice in the black fields
All hands to the video
Take a movie channel cruise
Anything but news
All cocooned we climb the stairs
Back here in the black fields
We hide behind the trees
In a chemical breeze, leave a call sign
All the kings of the future will hear
Civilization was here
And how many birds make a
Sacrifice in the black fields
How many wars 'til we pay the
Price in the black fields
I know disaster grows without looking
Twice in the black fields
To the world outside
There was nothing more to see
And the story died
And the demon keeps below the sea
And we cried and cried and cried
And how many birds make a
Sacrifice in the black fields
How many wars 'til we pay the
Price in the black fields
I know disaster grows without looking
Twice in the black fields
From a window, a vision of your world
Looks surreal in a blue and grey surround
Looks surreal in a blue and grey surround
I'm here in a corner
A picture on your screen
I'm a satellite beam, a bystander
And I'm watching the ship going down
With the deadliest cargo inbound
Politicians, their axes ground and clean
Survey the scene in a well-rehearsed alarm
Stand back from the shoreline with
A silver dollar smile
And you put us on file, leave an island
To the curse of the spray and the spill
Worse things happen at sea and they will
And how many birds make a
Sacrifice in the black fields
How many wars 'til we pay the
Price in the black fields
I know disaster grows without looking
Twice in the black fields
All hands to the video
Take a movie channel cruise
Anything but news
All cocooned we climb the stairs
Back here in the black fields
We hide behind the trees
In a chemical breeze, leave a call sign
All the kings of the future will hear
Civilization was here
And how many birds make a
Sacrifice in the black fields
How many wars 'til we pay the
Price in the black fields
I know disaster grows without looking
Twice in the black fields
To the world outside
There was nothing more to see
And the story died
And the demon keeps below the sea
And we cried and cried and cried
And how many birds make a
Sacrifice in the black fields
How many wars 'til we pay the
Price in the black fields
I know disaster grows without looking
Twice in the black fields
From a window, a vision of your world
Looks surreal in a blue and grey surround
