Stone Heroes (BBC John Peel Session 5/7/78)

I looked into the hourglass
And watched the grains of sand
I wandered through the latitudes
And crossed the strangest lands
L Laughing
L Loving
Reach the promised land
F Fighting
L Losing
Lost beneath the sand
Journeys into places
No man has ever been
Conquering the continents
No man has ever seen
Where time amounts in misery
Where treasure’s buried deep
Where no man enters to disturb
The king’s eternal sleep
L Laughing
L Loving
Reach the promised land
F Fighting
L Losing
Lost beneath the sand
Journeys into places
No man has ever been
Conquering the continents
No man has ever seen
I’m lost in a forgotten world
Where ancient heroes fell
The Sphinxes guard, their solitude
Their bodies rot in hell
L Laughing
L Loving
Reach the promised land
F Fighting
L Losing
Lost beneath the sand
Journeys into places
No man has ever been
Conquering the continents
No man has ever seen
