The Shadow of No Man Songtext

von Crime & The City Solution

He said,
"In the end we are all brothers!"
Spoken love like no other.
Reached out across the river,
And the bombs {?} were taught and true.
And the good water did flow,
Yeah, that good water did flow.

For the thirst of a nation!
And the seeds were found,
Straight-backed trees in once dry ground.

And he said:
"We will stand – we will stand, I stand by you,
We stand together, in The Shadow of No Man".

Out of a chance desire,
Sparks flew to the left and right.
In the closing dimness of their night.
Their fire shone bright, made of their mind,
Made of their mind.

And he said:
"I believe in what's right,
That no man may loose – that'll be my gain!"
And the strong water did flow,
Yeah that strong water did flow.

Ran along the gold-leaf streets,
Penetrating the heartless sleep. {?}

And he said:
"We will stand – we will stand, I stand by you,
We stand together, in The Shadow of No Man,
In The Shadow of No Man."

The sounds of hammers awoke them in the morning,
And it was a harsh sun that was dawning.
Raggedy Rage in voice was calling,
And the leaves from the trees and fallen, and were falling.

And the voice said:
"In this life there is a little time – there is only a little time!
And in the end it is you, that'll reach out the light,
And say, 'This is not ours, this is mine'!"

The Hats around them agreed, and hardened, {?}
Tigers loose in their gardens.
And the red water did flow,
Yeah that red water did flow.

Happy waters in the scales.
Bail the water, bail.
They threw the angry crew from their trail,
Cut them loose.
And the crew set sail.

And he said:
"We will stand – we will stand, I stand by you,
In the Shadow of No man,
In the shadow,
In the shadow,
Come out of the shadow,
Come out of the shadow,
In the Shadow of No man,
Walk in the light!
I said I walk in their light!
Walk in the light, now.
In the Shadow of No man,
In the shadow.
In the Shadow of No man,
In the shadow.
In the Shadow of No man,
Come out of the shadows,
Come out of the shadows!
Come out of the shadows!
In the shadow,
In the shadows of no man,
Walk in the light."
