The Silver Cloud`s Dark Lining — текст песни (Skyclad)

Sailing of the century - a human life raft floating
the jaws of the void approaching - growing closer by the hour
Played lottery with destiny - could not believe you`d lose
Collect your one-way ticket for the Good Ship Earth`s last cruise

So play today
go make your hay beneath a warm sun shining
But bear in mind one day you`ll find the silver cloud`s dark lining

Poor general intelligence - all that is rank promoted
Distended bellies bloated - gorged on candy-coated lies
Though honest as the day is long - dark nights are drawing in
yet for one grow tired of this - a devil sick of sin

So play today
go make your hay beneath a warm sun shining
But bear in mind one day you`ll find the silver cloud`s dark lining

Stand in line and pay your dime, to watch Atlantis rising
When do you`ll see right through to the silver cloud`s dark lining

Oblivion comes calling - expel your last breath praying
Hear the hounds of Hades baying - find there`s nowhere left ot run
Across the fence midst greener grass a serpent winks his eye
for each of us he`s baked a slice of home made apple-pie!

So play today
go make your hay beneath a warm sun shining
But bear in mind one day you`ll find the silver cloud`s dark lining

Played lottery with destiny - could not believe you`d lose
Collect your one-way ticket for the Good Ship Earth`s last cruise

So play today
go make your hay beneath a warm sun shining
But bear in mind one day you`ll find the silver cloud`s dark lining

Stand in line and pay your dime, to watch Atlantis rising
When do you`ll see right through to the silver cloud`s dark lining
