Pink Floyd - High Hopes


Pink Floyd"High Hopes"The Division Bell[Lyrics]


Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The night of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless riverForever and ever

I do know alot about prog and old metal. Slayer were one of originators of death metal as was Cannibal Corpse and Death and the UK's Napalm Death started it as well. To me Nightwish sounded like a death metal band but I was misunderstood. Could be I see the "goths" wearing their shirts. I don't like mid-European metal (sans Scorpions). Back to the vid on topic, High Hopes is one of the best finish band career tracks as was Fading Lights by Phil Collins led Genesis, I'm Gonna Crawl by Zeppelin
