Of Men And Angels Lyrics

Staring down an empty page, he wrings his mind

And wishes that his thoughts would somehow find a way

To fill this bare and lonely place that lies between

What he wants to say and what you need to hear

And so he knocks with determination

At the door of imagination

But it seems no one is home today

The words do not come

And the hunger for wisdom goes on

If only he could speak with the tongues of men and angels

Reveal any mystery of heaven and earth

And if with a word to the mountains he could rearrange them

Without love, could you tell me

What would it all be worth?

How do I pretend to send what is deep within

To the surface of my soul and spilling of my lips

My friend, all that I have been

Isn't meant to win you over

'Cause if love can be heard

I don't even need these words

And I cannot speak with the tongues of men or angels

Reveal any mystery of heaven or earth

And if with a word to the mountains I could rearrange them

Without love, could you tell me

What would it all be worth?

Stapper!

(Bass solo)

It would be nothing

Nothing but lines on a page

Nothing but an endless strain meant to entertain

Am I trying in vain?

Is this all empty gain?
