Riddle Me This |
Show me the power that man cannot harness |
To turn toward malice or work into woe. |
Be it the stars or the moon or the planets |
Or the tide of the ocean in ever encircling flow |
Or everything under the ever encircling sun. |
Riddle me, riddle me, riddle me this |
Riddle me, riddle me, riddle me this |
Riddle me, riddle me, riddle me this |
Riddle me, riddle me, riddle me this |
Who were the ones who first gathered the amber |
To render the embering dawn of the day? |
The stallion in canter, the river in meander |
So we’ll remember them long after they fade away. |
And how could they know as they measured the season? |
How could they know as they furrowed the soil? |
All the dishonor and all the unreason |
And all of the wrong to be done in the name of their toil. |
Riddle me, riddle me, riddle me this |
Riddle me, riddle me, riddle me this |
Riddle me, riddle me, riddle me this |
Riddle me, riddle me, riddle me this |
A briar of braun and a forest of sinew |
Will rise from the power they plowed in the ground |
And so in this way their dominion continues |
All under the ever encircling sun going down |
All under the ever encircling sun going down. |
