Wise After the Event Lyrics

	作词 : Phillips
	Four thousand monks in a maelstrom
	All crying out for release.
	Three cheers for old Mother Hailsham
	She's sticking to her beliefs.
	A hundred ships took to the high seas
	Intent on sailing the world.
	They might have known that a rainy sky
	Would scatter swine before pearls.
	One by One, the Centaur is breaking its chains
	And, after all, we're blood and flesh and pain.
	Cover it up high, cover it up low
	Cerebus stirring,
	Finally learning,
	Lamplighters' torches extinguish
	The flames of our fate.
	Six sturdy Bold held the Tiber
	Across the stakes they did swarm.
	And in a chance he was leaving
	Throughout his watch he was warning their guards.
	I met a man on a spreading kite
	Who set his course for the sun.
	But when I asked him what he'd found up there
	He said he'd just been for fun.
	Hour by hour the jigsaw is piecing together
	In fear and dread, we wait the final act,
	Gathering up high, gathering up low,
	See how the earth quakes
	Watch as the crust breaks
	Beating the air as the hot wind
	Comes my way.
	A million men marched on Memphis,
	To pay respects to their King
	But when they came to Fort Lauderville,
	They found they all had to sing –
	So we're getting so much wiser, it's so much fun.
