Talisman Lyrics

Talisman lyrics

Trinket worn with colours matching saddened eyes has lost its magic
touch
People from a distant hill have crossed an ever-stretching sea of
sand
Artificial flowers cannot die for life within them is
illusion
Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my
hand

Figures made of pedigrees control the non-existent soul of John
Smith
Walk the creature let it run but slacken not the rope to which it's
bound
Ships in bottles cannot sail and neither can a tombstone kill a
feather
Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my
hand

Kings are nothing more without the glory and the wealth behind
their thinking
Let me feel the choice of seeing dawn or setting sun before I
die
Myriads of painted faces rush behind the eye of the
uncertain
Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my
hand

(Recitative)
Let me live only to do
And let me do only to
live
My steel image comes with the sun
And that's where it slumbers
now.

Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand.
