Solomons War by The Gatling Gun Revival Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've seen everything there is to see from upon a throne
But the meaning behind it all was far too small
Let's raise the stakes because I’m wide awake
I'll keep tossing and turning till I see the light of day
[Verse 2]
My mind is a swinging pendulum caught in a snare
My body's a shipwrecked vessel in need of repair
To me it's all just the same as I try to find my way
Through the thickening air I keep waiting for a spark
To light my way through the dark
[Guitar Solo]
So wash your eyes in the light and come on outside
All the trees of the field are growing higher towards the sun
Until the war was won
[Bridge]
And all the rivers run into the sea but they'll never make it full
There is nothing new under the sun, shadows only tell us of our time
All is vanity
All is vanity
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
My eyes are not satisfied with what see through this door
My ears are refusing to listen anymore
Yet with the eyes of a dove you look down upon me
Till the madness and folly fill my heart all up with grief
Oh how I long to be free
I've seen everything there is to see from upon a throne
But the meaning behind it all was far too small
Let's raise the stakes because I’m wide awake
I'll keep tossing and turning till I see the light of day
[Verse 2]
My mind is a swinging pendulum caught in a snare
My body's a shipwrecked vessel in need of repair
To me it's all just the same as I try to find my way
Through the thickening air I keep waiting for a spark
To light my way through the dark
[Guitar Solo]
So wash your eyes in the light and come on outside
All the trees of the field are growing higher towards the sun
Until the war was won
[Bridge]
And all the rivers run into the sea but they'll never make it full
There is nothing new under the sun, shadows only tell us of our time
All is vanity
All is vanity
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
My eyes are not satisfied with what see through this door
My ears are refusing to listen anymore
Yet with the eyes of a dove you look down upon me
Till the madness and folly fill my heart all up with grief
Oh how I long to be free
