Brian Eno - The Ship lyrics

The Ship was from the willing land The waves about it roll And as aglow by powder sand We lift, we loot, we haul The tide is still, the sky is young Drawn on towards the goal And we are as the undescribed Who take a new soul Oh Hallelujah pray for me The man who turned away My desert in a grain of sand My life within a day So smooth the stones that duck the tide The piper plays a reel But we are as the undefined Breaking on the wheel When pray with (???) And pray the (???) The sail is down the wind is gone The sky is black with crows A slave to hopes of destiny Illusion of control And we are as the unrefined The waves about us roll (Foreign language) (Indistinguishable voice samples. Some foreign)
