Lyrics
Seven Wonders
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, it must have been here somewhere,
that which the culture higly prized:
the list of ancient buildings,
the attitude of mind,
the wisdom of the prophets,
the catalogue of books....
You can't get off it,
you don't know where to look...
I know you don't know what to say
and it's strange now, see how
everything's changed,
including the Seven Wonders.
Nothing is permanent here.
New kick, new game,new theory,
the rest reduced to nought:
iy only takes a moment,
one clear and lucid thought.
Once the process has been triggered
all previous process disappears....
I don't know what it is your fear,
I don't know what it is your fear:
the shift is nothing to be afraid of.
Strange now,see how
everything's changed,
including the Seven Wonders.
Nothing is permanent here,
that's part of the spell we're under.
Getting old then, say when
you're happy tohold
your personal Seven Wonders.
Nothing is permanent here.
