Man Lyrics

Man lyrics

We press on and on

Funny how the future's always waiting for you

When the day has gone

We hide away



Shadows that stalk you

The wind that calls your name



Voices in the thunder

Don't understand what they're saying



We build monuments

To celebrate our glorious dead now

Iron and cement

Above their tombs



We cast out our nets

Drag up the struggling contents surely

We must not forget

That hunger looms



Shadows that stalk you

Shadows that stalk you

  (The wind that calls your name)

Shadows that stalk you



Child cries and he learns

And doubt returns



In the darkest hours

We wrestle with our ancestors

We resist their power

The powers of being



In the coldest night

Huddled 'round the dying embers

Praying for the light

Might set us free



Fingers that soothe you

Shadows that stalk you

  (The jokes that make you sleep)



Intricate harness

Shadows that stalk you

  (The harvest that you reap)



Man stalls, he flies

Man falls and he rise



We press on and on

Funny how the future's always waiting for you

When the day has gone

We hide away
