Текст песни: The Pearl + перевод

Oh the dragons are going to fly tonight

They’re circling low and inside tonight

It’s another round in the losing fight

Out along the great divide tonight

We are aging soldiers in an ancient war

Seeking out some half remembered shore

We drink our fill and still we thirst for more

Asking if there’s no heaven what is this hunger for?

Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod

We lift up our prayer against the odds

And fear the silence is the voice of God

And we cry Allelujah Allelujah

We cry Allelujah

Sorrow is constant and the joys are brief

The seasons come and bring no sweet relief

Time is a brutal but a careless thief

Who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief

It is the heart that kills us in the end

Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend

As it was now and ever shall be amen

So there’ll be no guiding light for you and me

We are not sailors lost out on the sea

We were always headed toward eternity

Hoping for a glimpse of Gaililee

Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled

Down through the long loneliness of the world

Until we behold the pain become the pearl

The pearl, the pearl
