lyrics

THE PENDULUM OF MEMORY

The pendulum of memory
Oscilates between the true and the false

WAS IT GREEN OR WAS IT BLUE?
WAS IT IMAGINED OR WAS IT TRUE?
WAS IT NEW OR WAS IT OLD?
WAS IT A SECRET OR WAS IT TOLD?

The hero or your youth was not a man to be trusted
The hero of your youth was idle, shiftless and going nowhere
No warrior, no lionhearted luminary him.

In all the attics and all the dark cellars
Underneath a shroud of dust
Photographs and old letters
Tell the story as it was.
