about

Recorded during the Looking Backward sessions in 2007. The first recording of this song appeared on the Earthbound album in 1993.

lyrics

Follow me, I'll ease the pain
Blood and water flowing evermore
Whisper softly, speak my name
This time is just a sublime open door

You called me saviour, speak to me in tongues
Tell how the angels walked and now they run
Minstrel saviour let me understand
Am I the timeless fool
Or am I a part of the plan?

Turn the pages of my days
In the court I stand a minstrel fool
At center stage my days will pass
Some gone forever and some going fast

You called me saviour, take me far above
These terran poisons, beating demon drums
Minstrel saviour let the games begin
Familiar stranger
Time to sink or swim

I see no storybook endings
Just the blackness of empty space
I see no justice balanced
Just a jester's laughing face
I see no brave utopia
Just the bitter flux of time
Drinking from the Tigris
Drowning in the Rhine

Listen softly falls the rain
Blood like water flowing evermore
And the tide is turning once again
Let the tide keep turning forevermore

You called me saviour, speak to me in tongues
Tell how the angels walked and now they run
Minstrel saviour let me understand
Am I the timeless fool
Or am I a part of the plan?
