KRIS KRISTOFFERSON - Easter Island lyrics

Guardin' the carcas we stripped and divided

To carve up and covet they wait there alone

Keepin' the secret the rest have forgotten

And starin' in silence from sockets of stone.

Built and obeyed with the best of intentions

Stranger than truth and as lost and alone

Stranded like dogs in a star-spangled manger

No good to nothin' not even their own.

Holy-o-my-God I can't see the stars in the skies

For the sun in my eyes.

She's like a dream that a world quit believin'

Caught in the action back to the sea

How many more might have come from that mountain

Barely the creatures they struggled to be.

Surely the death of so grand and illusion

Left us with legends too great to ignore

Stone cut survivors of ancient dimensions

Lost in the wonder they came to explore.

Holy starlight far brighter than the sun in your eyes

Singin' Thy will be gone

Holy starlight far brighter than the sun in your eyes

Singin' Thy will be gone...
