Twists of the Nile and broken cliffs of the sea
the flight of the icarus and the sting of a bee
a midnights wind and the beauty of the swan
with nothing but ignorance is as good as gone.

The imagination of the artist the logic of man
the sin of the vicar and the baker street van
the northern lights and the swiss army knife
will play no part in the ignorant mans life

Tales of Atlanta and the mighty thunder roar
the grapes of Paris and the legacy of Thor
the stories and the wonders and all of the lies
the eagles silhouette upon the sweet sunrise
you can watch the swan as it begins to take flight
or stare at your feet until the end of your life.
