מילים לשיר Skyclad – Skyclad

I'll sing to you of days departed,
Times when men proud and stouthearted carved their names on history's bloody
Page,
The corpse of chivalry long dead
Is turning in his loamy bed indignant at your new 'enlightened' age
WhiteFight to make their incomes larger
Held within the safety of this mundane existenceFacing endless grey Mondays of dull nine to fives,
We all climb the social ladder with a dogged persistence,
Forging chains we shall carry for the rest of our lives. We cannot see through clothes may maketh man they cannot give us shelterOn this mortal helterBetween the values we believe in and the egos we are feedingWe stand all together naked as the day we were born.
And so cast off the lies that are our lives and find the truth within. SKYCLADSKYCLADSKYCLADSKYCLAD
Financial wizards read their spells from filofaxes
Concrete hells of their own making pass for Avalon.
These men selfLost in 'green
Your mortgage payment rocketLike your blood pressure rising,
Executive stresses are the dragons you fight.
In your Armani armour you are practically shining,
So have no code of honour
Just give me a simple lifeAnd whatever life may hand me I'll accept it with good grace,
For I'm just a simple lad with few ideas about my station,
So ale and song will apt suffice to keep me in my place. How can you know the cost of everything yet never see its worth?
If you think because you've paid the piper you should call the tuneWell think again my friend life is a gain of chance,
By Fate's command we win or lose,
But still retain the right to choose
If we should stumble on

You charge each other for the time and breath it takes to say 'good morning,'
But the truth is slowly dawningWe all pursue our shattered dreams along the roads to our own ruinWatch our empires sink and wash away like castles made of sand. And so cast off the lies that are your lives and find the truth within.
