The Old Man's Back Again
I seen a hand, I seen a vision
It was reaching through the clouds to risk a dream
The shadow crossed the sky
And it crushed into the ground, just like a beast
The old man's back again
The old man's back again
I seen a woman, standing in the snow
She was silent as she watched them take her man
Teardrops burned her cheeks
For she thought she'd heard
The shadow had left this land
The old man's back again
The old man's back again
The crowds just gathered, their faces turned away
And they queue all day like dragons of disgust
Older women whispering
Wondering just what these young hot-heads want of us
And, "Entres vie," he cries
With eyes that ring like chimes
His anti-worlds go spinning through his head
He burns them in his dreams
For half awake, they may as well be dead
The old man's back again
I see he's back again
I see a soldier, he's standin' in the rain
For him, there's no old man to walk behind
Devoured by his pain
Bewildered by the faces who pass him by
He'd like another name, the one he's got's a curse
These people cried
Why can't they understand
His mother called him Ivan, then she died?
The old man's back again
The old man's back again
I can see him back again
It was reaching through the clouds to risk a dream
The shadow crossed the sky
And it crushed into the ground, just like a beast
The old man's back again
The old man's back again
I seen a woman, standing in the snow
She was silent as she watched them take her man
Teardrops burned her cheeks
For she thought she'd heard
The shadow had left this land
The old man's back again
The old man's back again
The crowds just gathered, their faces turned away
And they queue all day like dragons of disgust
Older women whispering
Wondering just what these young hot-heads want of us
And, "Entres vie," he cries
With eyes that ring like chimes
His anti-worlds go spinning through his head
He burns them in his dreams
For half awake, they may as well be dead
The old man's back again
I see he's back again
I see a soldier, he's standin' in the rain
For him, there's no old man to walk behind
Devoured by his pain
Bewildered by the faces who pass him by
He'd like another name, the one he's got's a curse
These people cried
Why can't they understand
His mother called him Ivan, then she died?
The old man's back again
The old man's back again
I can see him back again
