[ti:Farewell To A Percival] [ar:Simon Joyner] [al:Heaven's Gate] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Farewell To A Percival - Simon Joyner [00:14.93]So you planned to chip away at trouble [00:19.10] [00:20.48]But it left you standing in the rubble [00:25.28] [00:26.53]Now your tears are trapped in crystal puddles [00:31.28] [00:32.53]With a stone portrait of your double [00:37.34] [00:43.15]And if you begged me to remain around [00:46.96] [00:48.40]Would grief keep tearing at your gown [00:52.76] [00:54.26]All the sadness waltzing around your frown [00:58.88] [01:00.25]Well it's bound to bring some ceilings down [01:04.94] [01:09.80]Now there ain't no reason my heart will hear [01:15.16] [01:15.79]So you can shed the pickax and climbing gear [01:20.66] [01:22.09]But please don't stand and watch my back disappear [01:26.96] [01:28.03]As I fade into the mountains there [01:32.77] [01:38.88]Whose to say the sky is mean [01:42.37] [01:43.56]If it stands between you and your kingdom [01:48.68] [01:49.55]They say some things are meant to be seen [01:54.85] [01:56.86]And some things are meant to be kept hidden [02:01.41] [02:26.84]All those saints who feed on virtue are ruthless [02:31.46] [02:32.21]Saying you need a deed to be so virtuous [02:36.71] [02:38.32]And guilt is vainly plainly discouraged [02:42.94] [02:44.25]As we kow-tow to their courage [02:48.43] [02:53.42]But I saw the glorious white arch fall [02:58.47] [03:00.04]And the great soldier children were crushed and all [03:05.78]The townspeople looked and saw their shadows [03:10.69] [03:11.69]And then had to stay inside and drain their pillows [03:17.74] [03:20.97]Then I had a dream seven nights in a row [03:27.76] [03:28.32]You were following me through all these doomed places I go [03:34.90] [03:35.47]Well I knew I was weak but I guess I didn't know [03:40.27] [03:41.29]I was in need of a guardian angel [03:44.17] [03:49.87]Whose to say the sky is mean [03:53.30] [03:55.77]If it stands between you and your kingdom [04:00.39] [04:01.58]They say some things are meant to be seen [04:06.33] [04:07.34]And some things are meant to be kept hidden [04:12.09] [04:36.67]The river I follow has turned so small [04:41.59] [04:42.90]I can't hardly swallow any strength at all [04:47.91] [04:49.09]And the pale fish rotting in its muddy walls [04:54.90] [04:55.71]I know they lost their eyes before they stalled [05:01.42] [05:04.23]So I search and I yearn and I barely breathe [05:09.42] [05:10.24]And the person who once knew you is no longer me [05:15.61] [05:17.12]With my torn yellow map and my dry canteen [05:22.11] [05:22.92]I can't stop to count my blessings [05:26.74] [05:31.68]Or the curved lines of longitude [05:35.17] [05:37.29]I burned as if they were fuses [05:41.56] [05:43.42]To pass the mirage and land the oasis [05:48.37] [05:49.42]Where I'm going to fill up all these empty spaces [05:54.48] [05:59.87]Whose to say the sky is mean [06:03.36] [06:03.95]If it stands between you and your kingdom [06:09.63] [06:11.57]They say some things are meant to be seen [06:15.74] [06:16.69]And some things are meant to be kept hidden [06:21.36] [06:46.90]To pass the mirage and land the oasis [06:52.14] [06:53.32]Where I'm going to fill up all these empty spaces [06:58.27] [06:59.76]And free myself of these earthly races [07:04.21] [07:05.46]I'll send you my thirst first and then the laces [07:10.94] [07:14.27]Of my shoes
