Talisman

Trinket worn with colours matching saddened eyes has lost itsmagic touch

People from a distant hill have crossed an ever-stretching sea ofsand

Artificial flowers cannot die for life within them is illusion

Talisman, talisman grace my hand

Talisman grace my hand

Figures made of pedigrees control the non-existent soul of JohnSmith

Walk the creature let it run but slacken not the rope to whichit's bound

Ships in bottles cannot sail and neither can a tombstone kill afeather

Talisman, talisman grace my hand

Talisman grace my hand

Kings are nothing more without the glory and the wealth behindtheir thinking

Let me feel the choice of seeing dawn or setting sun before Idie

Myriads of painted faces rush behind the eye of the uncertain

Talisman, talisman grace my hand

Talisman grace my hand

(Recitative)

Let me live only to do

And let me do only to live

My steel image comes with the sun

And that's where it slumbers now.

Talisman, talisman grace my hand

Talisman grace my hand.
