Tigers by The Samurai of Prog Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My life was strange but now my time has come
I look back at the ways and bitter is the taste
It doesn't matter where your journey starts
Mother Nature's womb will be your final tomb
Tigers lying in the sunshine, playing on the grass
[Chorus]
Roll the stone away, tomorrow comes the day
When you can touch me
I walk the sands along the banks of Lethe
River's running free, feeding fragments to the sea
Though the past joins me today
In our minds lay the strands
We'll stay the same
And I'll take the blame
[Verse 2]
All things accomplished, memories fading down
Of all these of which I care and the love I had to share
Yeah we were stronger and our minds were bold
The wonders that we built, the stories that we told
Tigers lying in the sunshine, playing on the grass
[Chorus]
So roll the stone away
Tomorrow comes a day
When you can feel me
Let's join our hands and walk the banks of Lethe
River's running free, feeding fragments to the sea
And tough the past joins me today
In our minds lay the strands
Well, on we sail
[Bridge 1]
And there were the times
I soon forgot
Going round in circles
Chasing 'round my tail
To see where it would reach
I made so many precious things
Lived so many dreams
All I achieved
Melting to the sea
[Instrumental Breakdown]
[Bridge 2]
The sum of the parts is now king
All that you will say
And all that you will hear
All that you love and all you feel
End up in the vale, when waters take your wave
Tigers lying in the sunshine, playing on the grass
[Chorus]
So roll your stone away
Tomorrow comes a day
(here comes the day)
When you can be me
And walk the sands along the banks of Lethe
River's running free, feeding fragments to the sea
And though the past joins me today
In our minds lay the strands
Well, on we sail
My life was strange but now my time has come
I look back at the ways and bitter is the taste
It doesn't matter where your journey starts
Mother Nature's womb will be your final tomb
Tigers lying in the sunshine, playing on the grass
[Chorus]
Roll the stone away, tomorrow comes the day
When you can touch me
I walk the sands along the banks of Lethe
River's running free, feeding fragments to the sea
Though the past joins me today
In our minds lay the strands
We'll stay the same
And I'll take the blame
[Verse 2]
All things accomplished, memories fading down
Of all these of which I care and the love I had to share
Yeah we were stronger and our minds were bold
The wonders that we built, the stories that we told
Tigers lying in the sunshine, playing on the grass
[Chorus]
So roll the stone away
Tomorrow comes a day
When you can feel me
Let's join our hands and walk the banks of Lethe
River's running free, feeding fragments to the sea
And tough the past joins me today
In our minds lay the strands
Well, on we sail
[Bridge 1]
And there were the times

Going round in circles
Chasing 'round my tail
To see where it would reach
