The scattered pages of a book by the sea
Held by the sand and washed by the waves
A shadow forms cast by a cloud,
Skimming by as eyes of the past, but the rising tide
Absorbs them effortlessly claiming.

They told of one who tired of all singing,
"Praise him, praise him."
"We heed not flatterers," he cried,
"By our command, waters retreat,
Show my power, halt at my feet."
But the curse was lost,
Now cold winds blow.

For from the north, overcast ranks advance
Fear of the storm accusing with rage and scorn.
The waves surround the sinking throne
Singing "Crown him, crown him."
"Those who love our majesty show themselves!"
All bent their knees.

But he forced a smile even though
His hopes lay dashed where offerings fell.
Nothing can out peace destroy as long as no one smiles.
More opened ears and opened eyes,
And soon they dares to laugh.
See a little man with his face turning red
Though his story's often told you can tell he's dead

Other Genesis song Lyrics
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway "The lamb lies down on Broadway And the lamb lies down on Broadway. Early morning Manhattan, Ocean winds blow on the land...."	Fly On A Windshield "There's something solid forming in the air, The wall of death is lowered in Times Square. No-one seems to care, They carry on as if nothing was there...."
Broadway Melody Of 1974 "Echoes of the Broadway Everglades, Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand. Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand. Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing...."	Cuckoo Cocoon "Wrapped up in some powdered wool-I guess I'm losing touch. Don't tell me I'm dying, 'cos I ain't changed that much. The only sound is water drops, I wonder where the hell I am, Some kind of jam?..."
In The Cage "I got sunshine in my stomach Like I just rocked my baby to sleep. I got sunshine in my stomach But I can't keep me from creeping sleep,..."	The Grand Parade Of Lifeless Packaging "The last great adventure left to mankind" -Screams a drooping lady offering her dreamdolls at less than extortionate prices, and as the notes and coins are taken out..."
Back In N.Y.C. "I see faces and traces of home back in New York City- So you think I'm a tough kid? Is that what you heard? Well I like to see some action and it gets into my blood. The call me the trail blazer-Rael-electric razor...."	Counting Out Time "I'm counting out time, Got the whole thing down by numbers. All those numbers! Give my guidance!..."
