The Elements Songtext

von Roger Hodgson

So shall these stones arise
And shall the Earth contrive
To fill with waters clear
These wasted lakes and thrive

So shall these vallies sing
And shall these blackened hills
Stir with the spirit of life
Behold Excalibur shines

I am the water, I am the earth
And the wind across the ocean
I am the fire and I am the rain
And the flowers thet grow in springtime
And a new day comes, with the dawn

I shall with the death be done
And when all evil's gone
I'll build a fortress strong
A citadel to love

I shall with wise men learn
And as the seasons turn
I'll raise a tower of light
Where in the flame of hope shall bum

I am the water, I am the earth
And the wind across the ocean
I am the fire and I am the rain
And the flowers thet grow in springtime
And a new day comes, with the dawn

See how our father's land
In desolation stands
Through feudal darkness reigns
The beast in everyman

See how our country falls
Unto the heathen hordes
Across deserted moors
I hear the dragons of wars
