Imperial Walls

Anon, 8th Century Saxon, Peter Hammill

[Instrumental Intro]

[Intro]
Strange to behold
Is the stone of this wall
Broken by fate

[Verse]
And the strongholds are bursten
And the work of giants decaying;
The roofs are fallen
The towers are tottering
Mouldering palaces roofless
Weather-marked masonry shattering
Shelters time-scarred
Tempest-marred
Undermined of old

[Instrumental]

[Pre]
Earth's grasp holdeth
Its mighty builders
Tumbled, crumbled
In gravel's harsh grip
Till a hundred generations
Of men pass away

[Chorus]
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
Till a hundred generations of men pass away
Till a hundred generations of men pass away

[Outro]
Till a hundred generations
Pass away

[Instrumental Outro]
