Castle Song (1978 electric original)
Who are you, waiting
Waiting at the gates of my city?
Who are you, waiting?
Blood streams from the nails on your fingers
Who are you, pleading
Pleading into the walls unyielding?
Who are you, scratching
At the mortar, splashed and crimson?
And you are on the outside
And I am on the inside
And I won't let you in!
Yes, you are on the outside
And I am on the inside
And I won't let you in!
Who are you people
In the damp of the misty morning?
Who are you people
Who disturb my hours of sleeping?
Who are you children
On your fathers' shoulders yawning?
Who are you children
You who rise above the clamour?
And you are on the outside
And I am on the inside
And I won't let you in!
Yes, you are on the outside
And I am on the inside
And I won't let you in!
Where are you hiding
As I rise this lonely morning?
Why are you silent
When I gaze from my chamber window?
Why are you hiding?
Did you die as I lay sleeping?
All of you people
Thank you for your gift
Now let me rest
Waiting at the gates of my city?
Who are you, waiting?
Blood streams from the nails on your fingers
Who are you, pleading
Pleading into the walls unyielding?
Who are you, scratching
At the mortar, splashed and crimson?
And you are on the outside
And I am on the inside
And I won't let you in!
Yes, you are on the outside
And I am on the inside
And I won't let you in!
Who are you people
In the damp of the misty morning?
Who are you people
Who disturb my hours of sleeping?
Who are you children
On your fathers' shoulders yawning?
Who are you children
You who rise above the clamour?
And you are on the outside
And I am on the inside
And I won't let you in!
Yes, you are on the outside
And I am on the inside
And I won't let you in!
Where are you hiding
As I rise this lonely morning?
Why are you silent
When I gaze from my chamber window?
Why are you hiding?
Did you die as I lay sleeping?
All of you people
Thank you for your gift
Now let me rest
