| 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. |
