After the Piper is Gone
You know when the sun rises early in the east You must rise with the sun Your day begins and when the night comes down Then you can say you're done You know he will rise every morning with the sun To wait til the night has gone He waits with his flute playing softly in the crowd The piper at the gates of dawn And he's waiting there all alone, it's true And it's like he's there just to wait for you And you don't know what you will do After the piper is gone When the sun hangs high in the midday sky The piper is out on the town He's searching for someone to play his song to 'Cause you know how he gets around If you listen hard he will come to you He will come when you're on your own And he'll take you off to talk with you So you both can be alone If you listen to the words he'll sayLetras de canciones Then you'll know again and you'll see the day And you can watch him going away After the piper is gone There's a man who stands at the eastern door Waiting around by the gate When the piper leaves, he will take his place We need only to sit and wait He's the piper's son and his father too And you'll know that he is his brother In the final hours of the wait for time They will join and become another And they all will leave for the eastern shore To return to us the great evermore And you won't want to be here anymore After the piper is gone Will the real prince please stand up now And take his place at the throne For the land of Illenwe is his now He must claim it for his own And the people are left without a king He's long gone since the Greenleaf fall He went to join his ancestors To sit in those great hallowed halls. If he's gone then the eternal night Will take us all but we have the right To draw our swords and we all must fight After the piper is gone Wouldn't it be best to tell the tale in its own context? If the storyteller cannot tell it, he is done Can you make it possible to tell us what we're up against? Can you tell me who we fought before the battle's won? If the bell should ring one time then send the news, the king is dead There was no way he could come from Falamand alive But if it is rung two times then let the joyous news be spread The king returns and with him hope that we may yet survive You know the way you talk about your fighters - is it good enough? Just to talk and choose no path to go on down the road Let them speak of heroes bold and see our names writ next to theirs Soon we leave to journey west into the woods of gold Even if you spend your life in trying, it's not good enough Take the piper's hand and he will lead you to the day I have gone before us and I know that what he says is good Follow him for when he's gone there'll be no other way Let there be another life, let this not remain Our whole tale shall be no more upon the heavy rain If you would be wise enough then you should see a dawning light Everything will soon be ours but let us not deny the fight All will be as one someday and one shall be as all In the meantime carry on and let the sun's blood fall And the message he bears is ever true And he bears it for none but you But wait and nothing can you do After the piper is gone From Letras Mania
