Genesis The Shepherd song lyrics

Rise up! Take your lyre and sing

Listen to the news I bring

Frosty breath on the window

See a friend in the snow that gently falls

Feel the truth in those sad eyes

See the smile that's so rare

Just like the love she waits for

And she plays a game of her own

As she sleeps within the firelight

For her dreams are incredibly wild

But they're lost and gone forever with the dawn

Fair and friend of the fleece folk

Warrior bold, shepherd wise, fair prince of peace

Someone waits in the doorway

On a white horse he comes

And holds out the hand she waits for

So they ride through a valley of mist

To a castle in the heavens

Where he lays her down to rest

But he's lost and gone forever with the dawn

See her writhe in her dream, then...

Mermaids sing in the sunset

Sadly asking if beauty ever walks free

But Queen Frost only whispers

Maidens you will remain to be free

See her writhe in her dreams...

Lord of the Seven Suns!

Keeper of the Keys of Time!

Hear me!
