Re: The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics

I'm always inspired by this searing irony in Yes' Relayer:

Listen your friends have been broken
They tell us of your poison
Now we know
Kill them give them as they give us
Slay them burn their children's laughter
On to Hell

Re: The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics

One of my favorite Andersonisms has always been this one.


Get the idea cross around the track
Underneath the flank of a thoroughbred racing chaser
Getting the feel as a river flows
Would you like to go n' shoot the mountain masses
And here you stand no taller than the grass sees
And should you really chase so hard
The truth of sport plays rings around you

Going for the one
Going for the one



Even for those who speak Jonish, I think this one can be a difficult decipher.

Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid,
Wipes his gun-he's forgotten what he did,
And the lamb lies down on Broadway.

Re: The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics

Added another one before work Sort of rings true this day and age

"Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth,
Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear."

Yes-Yours Is No Disgrace
