Talisman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Trinket worn with colors matching saddened eyes
Has lost its magic touch
People from a distant hill
Have crossed an ever-stretching sea of sand
Artificial flowers cannot die
For life within them is illusion
[Chorus]
Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand
[Verse 2]
Figures made of pedigrees
Control the non-existent soul of John Smith
Walk the creature let it run
But slacken not the rope to which its bound
Ships in bottles cannot sail
And neither can a tombstone kill a feather
[Chorus]
Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand
[Verse 3]
Kings are nothing more without the glory
And the wealth behind their thinking
Let me feel the choice of seeing
Dawn or setting sun before I die
Myriads of painted faces
Rush behind the eye of the uncertain
Trinket worn with colors matching saddened eyes
Has lost its magic touch
People from a distant hill
Have crossed an ever-stretching sea of sand
Artificial flowers cannot die
For life within them is illusion
[Chorus]
Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand
[Verse 2]
Figures made of pedigrees
Control the non-existent soul of John Smith
Walk the creature let it run
But slacken not the rope to which its bound
Ships in bottles cannot sail
And neither can a tombstone kill a feather
[Chorus]
Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand
[Verse 3]
Kings are nothing more without the glory
And the wealth behind their thinking
Let me feel the choice of seeing
Dawn or setting sun before I die
Myriads of painted faces
Rush behind the eye of the uncertain
[Chorus]
Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand
Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand
