Jethro Tull Magus Perde Lyrics

Hail! Son of kings make the ever-dying sign
Cross your fingers in the sky
For those about to BE
There am I waiting along the sand
Cast your sweet spell upon the land and sea

Magus Perdé, take your hand from off the chain
Loose a wish to still, the rain, the storm about to BE
Here am I (voyager into life)
Tough are the soles that tread the knife's edge
Break the circle, stretch the line, call upon the devil
Bring the gods, the gods' own fire In the conflict revel
The passengers upon the ferry crossing, waiting to be born
Renew the pledge of life's long song rise to the reveille horn
Animals queuing at the gate that stands upon the shore
Breathe the ever-burning fire that guards the ever-door
Man - son of man - buy the flame of ever-life
(Yours to breathe and breath the pain of living): living BE!
Here am I! Roll the stone away
From the dark into ever-day
