Realize, you are Had you talked to the winds of time Then you'd know how the waters rhyme Taste of wine How can you know where you've been? In time you'll see the sign And realize your sin Will you know how the seed is sown? All your time has been overgrown Never known Have you walked on the stones of years? When you speak, is it you that hears? Are your ears full? You can't hear anything at all The preacher said a prayer Save every single hair on his head He's dead The minister of hate had just arrived too late to be spared Who cared? The weaver in the web that he made The pilgrim wandered in Commiting every sin that he could So good The cardinal of grief was set in his belief he'd saved From the grave The weaver in the web that he made The high priest took a blade To bless the ones that prayed And all obeyed The messenger of fear is slowly growing, nearer to the time A sign The weaver in the web that he made A bishops rings a bell A cloak of darkness fell across the ground Without a sound The silent choir sing and in their silence Bring jaded sound, harmonic ground The weaver in the web that he made Clear the battlefield and let me see All the profit from our victory You talk of freedom, starving children fall Are you deaf when you hear the season's call? Were you there to watch the earth be scorched? Did you stand beside the spectral torch? Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face Scattered on the ashes of disgrace Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly Where the victims of your armies lie We're the blades of grass and arrows rain Then there will be no sorrow Be no pain Follow ELP: Online Store: Official Website: Spotify: Apple Music: Facebook: Amazon: Formed in 1970, Emerson, Lake & Palmer helped define and set new standards throughout one of the most ambitious and experimental periods in 20th-Century popular music. Drawn from The Nice, King Crimson, and Atomic Rooster respectively, they were hailed as progressive rock’s first supergroup. Combining driving dynamics, intricate arrangements, and virtuosic skill, between 1970 and 1978, ELP released seven studio recordings and three live albums. Such was their popularity on both sides of the Atlantic that their records repeatedly achieved Platinum status sales. Titles such as Tarkus, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery created distinctive worlds that incorporated soaring themes, other-worldly timbres, yearning ballads, humorous pastiche and dramatic long-form conceptual works. While they adapted pieces by classical composers as stylistically varied as Bartok, Mussorgsky, Copland, Ginastera and Rodrigo, ELP sounded like nobody else but themselves. The trio performed live one final time at London’s High Voltage Festival in July 2010 just weeks short of their debut gig 40th anniversary. Although Keith Emerson and Greg Lake both sadly passed away in 2016, interest in ELP continues to grow, and Carl Palmer’s own band regularly performs a setlist dedicated to the unique music he helped create. ELP's music continues to find new audiences more than 50 years from their beginning, a striking testament to the group's irrepressible blend of energy, eclecticism, and visceral excitement. #emersonlakeandpalmer #elp #greglake
