The Great Unknown by Magnum (Band) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Queen red, no names
Wars end like this
The hurt, it came
No-one admits
[Bridge 1]
Search all day, search all night
Look for the answers that never betray
Answers that seem to be right
[Chorus]
When the night comes down
And you're all alone
When there's not a sound
From the great unknown
[Post-Chorus 1]
Persian kings pass your window they're desperate to hear
Music so sweet
Like the voice of Domingo that echoes so clear
And fills every street
[Verse 2]
Shake down it's so outragеous
Funny how they persuade us
Thеy try to hide the picture
Argue and contradict yer
[Verse 3]
Don't know this game
When worlds collide
What we became
No-one replied
[Bridge 2]
Write in dust all you say
Look for the answers you know you can trust
One day they might blow away
[Chorus]
When the night comes down
And you're all alone
When there's not a sound
From the great unknown
[Post-Chorus 2]
When the jester wears scarlet to hide all his wounds
Something's not right
Politicians are acting like matinée cartoons
The speaker turned white
[Verse 2]
Shake down it's so outrageous
Funny how they persuade us
They try to hide the picture
Argue and contradict yer
[Chorus]
When the night comes down
And you're all alone
When there's not a sound
From the great unknown
[Post-Chorus 1]
Persian kings pass your window they're desperate to hear
Music so sweet
Like the voice of Domingo that echoes so clear
And fills every street
Queen red, no names
Wars end like this
The hurt, it came
No-one admits
[Bridge 1]
Search all day, search all night
Look for the answers that never betray
Answers that seem to be right
[Chorus]
When the night comes down
And you're all alone
When there's not a sound
From the great unknown
[Post-Chorus 1]
Persian kings pass your window they're desperate to hear
Music so sweet
Like the voice of Domingo that echoes so clear
And fills every street
[Verse 2]
Shake down it's so outragеous
Funny how they persuade us
Thеy try to hide the picture
Argue and contradict yer
[Verse 3]
Don't know this game
When worlds collide
What we became
No-one replied
[Bridge 2]
Write in dust all you say
Look for the answers you know you can trust
One day they might blow away
[Chorus]
When the night comes down
And you're all alone
When there's not a sound
From the great unknown
[Post-Chorus 2]
When the jester wears scarlet to hide all his wounds
Something's not right
Politicians are acting like matinée cartoons
The speaker turned white
[Verse 2]
Shake down it's so outrageous

[Chorus]
