Karn Evil 9 Third Impression Lyrics by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Karn Evil 9 Third Impression Lyrics

    Man alone; born of stone;
    Will stamp the dust of time
    His hands strike the flame of his soul;
    Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the universe
    Until the winds of laughter blows cold.

    Fear that rattles in men's ears
    And rears it's hideous head
    Dread .... death .... in the wind ....

    Man of steel pray and kneel
    With fever's blazing torch
    Thrust in the face of the night;
    Draws a blade if compassion
    Kissed by countless kings
    Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight.

    Walls that no man thought would fall
    The altars of the just
    Crushed .... dust .... in the wind ....

    No man yields who flies in my ship
    Danger!
    Let the bridge computer speak
    Stranger!
    Load your program. i am yourself.

    No computer stands in my way
    Only blood can cancel my pain
    Guardians of a new clear dawn
    Let the maps of war be drawn.

    Rejoice! glory is ours!
    Our young men have not died in vain,
    Their graves need no flowers
    The tapes have recorded their names.

    I am all there is
    Negative! primitive! limited! i let you live!
    But i gave you life
    What else could you do?
    To do what was right
    I'm perfect! are you?
