Lyrics

The Wicker Man

[Verse 1]

Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you

He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do?

Your tongue has frozen now you've got something to say

The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way

[Pre-Chorus]

You watch the world exploding every single night

Dancing in the sun, a newborn in the light

Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death

Hello to eternity and live for every breath

[Chorus]

Your time will come

Your time will come

Your time will come

Your time will come

[Verse 2]

The ferryman wants his money, you ain't gonna give it back

He can push his own boat as you set off up the track

Nothing you can contemplate will ever be the same

Every second is a new spark, sets the universe aflame

[Pre-Chorus]

You watch the world exploding every single night

Dancing in the sun, a newborn in the light

Brothers and their fathers joining hands to make a chain

The shadow of the wicker man is rising up again

[Chorus]

Your time will come

Your time will come

Your time will come

Your time will come

[Chorus]

Your time will come

Your time will come

Your time will come

Your time will come

[Outro]

Woo-oohh ohh, Woo-oohh ohh

Woo-oohh ohh, Woo-oohh ohh

Woo-oohh ohh, Woo-oohh ohh

Woo-oohh ohh, Woo-oohh ohh

Woo-oohh ohh, Woo-oohh ohh

Woo-oohh ohh, Woo-oohh ohh
