Gla** Hammer - Further Up And Further In lyrics

Looked for glory in the war But his spirit longed for more Cried for something that would last So he searched for glory past Scanning tomes of ancient lore Finding gods from days of yore So his questing turned from men Further up and further in Thus his heart would leap within Further up and Further in Closer than he'd ever been Further up and further in He could hear it in the songs That lovers write and singers sing Something in the writings of A prophet and a poet king There was glory to be had But only on some distant day When the greatest son of man The son of God would lead the way Here was something worthy of Pursuing and without delay So the soldier reckoned he had heard from God Surely God had called him from some lofty realm on high Off to the temples now Search Him out But a snare was planted there Pleasing to the eye Priestess, beauty Show me -- glory Priestess, beauty Show me -- glory Oh my heart finds true love I'll end my quest for you Happiness Did you find it in her arms Did you sense it in her spirit Joy like a shadow Found in her dark embrace Tell me Did you promise her the moon Pledge to her the sunshine Here on the front line Where you had fought to free your soul Look at the warrior He has lost his sword and Fallen at the feet of love Hey now Did you find that which you longed for The thing which you called glory What is the story Have you forgotten all that you'd learned Look at the warrior He has lost his sword and Fallen at the feet of love So she spoke of the hidden things Elder gods and the fairy kings That dance in the groves Bathed in the moonlight they sing So you had to see for yourself Now you'll have to admit to yourself What waited in dusky dales Were nothing but fairy tales And to think you nearly had it once The hope of glory calls to everyone Each of us Who yearning Will listen Came the time to bid her farewell Came the time to be rid of her spell The ways of a warrior Are seldom forgotten for long Say good-bye to hearth and home Heed the call and return to Rome Take up the sword once more And sail to some foreign shore
