LETRA DE CANCIONES:
Letra de La Cancion: No God's a Man
Artista: Gentle Giant
Now the words and claims are seen as always
the way they'll always be, way they'll always be.
Truth is halfway true, the man is only a man
who fails to know,
the people shouting for him have turned now
telling him to go.
Powers that have place, esteemed positions
telling him to cry, telling him to cry,
Soon another song is sung,
in turn for existing blame and then
Apologise, conditions turn,
then it happens all again.
After all the things are said, no God's a man,
no God's a man,
and yet after all the things are said,
no God's a man, must happen all again.
After all the things are said, no God's a man,
no God's a man,
and yet after all the things are said,
no God's a man, and then again.
Letra de La Cancion: So Sincere
Artista: Gentle Giant
Hear, he'll do it all for you, you will see it,
wise and knowing what to do, what to be
and every word is ........
Lies, he only tells the truth, for he means it,
means, not anything he says, eyes unseen,
but everything is ........
So sincere, so sincere, so sincere, so sin.
Yes, that is to say no, understanding
wrong, he makes his promise right, with your hand
you'll never know why.
So sincere, so sincere, so sincere, so sincere.
So, sincere his thoughts so full, always empty
Good, or maybe things are bad, so sincere,
and every word is ........
so sincere, so ........
Letra de La Cancion: Working All Day
Artista: Gentle Giant
Working all day, I'm digging up the roads, just working all day
Dig for my pay and spend it where I like. I've nothing to say
Drown in my sweat but money buys escape. I've got no regrets
Working all day
Working all day
When I was young I used to have illusions - Dreams ain't enough
Easy to say that everybody's equal then look around and see it ain't true.
Working all day
I eat the dust. The boss gets all the money. Life ain't just.
I'm still the same as all the other people - who can I trust
Working all day and never getting nowhere, what can I say working all day
Working all day.
Letra de La Cancion: River
Artista: Gentle Giant
Touching the last of what is past
Moving silent water fell the first that comes.
Slow and winding, flowing free
Peaceful music in its sound of distant drums.
Trust the shallow virgin stream
Danger wild, beware the deeper it becomes.
Moving highway, twisting byway
Can't turn back.
Sining in the summer rain
Rain that's caught in its flow.
Spreading, shining, silver lining
Gold on black.
Echoes moods of the moon and sun
Sun that shines from below.
Makes a soft and easy way
Left to choose its path will always be a friend.
Touch the last of what has past.
Never idle river drifting to the end.
Note:
We have tried to create several atmospheres within the boundaries of one songs by using the various electronic devices at our disposal in the recording Studio
Letra de La Cancion: Prologue
Artista: Gentle Giant
Three friends are made, three lives are laughs and tears
Through years of school and play they share
As time stands still the days change into years
And future comes without a care.
But fate and skill and chances play their part
The wind of change leaves no good-bye
Three boys are men their ways have drawn apart
They tell their tales to justify.
Letra de La Cancion: A Cry for Everyone
Artista: Gentle Giant
Run, why should I run away
When at the end the only truth certain -
One day everyone dies -
If only to justify life.
Live, I've lived a thousand lives;
And anyone is the right, the just life.
If I could cry, I'd cry for everyone.
Doubts, no doubt, is all I know.
There is no fate, there's no luck, what does that show.
Showing is proof, but proving is nothing but fear.
If I could cry, I'd cry then for everyone.
Hope, I've hoped two thousand years, but
no one hears, so I've cried, crying vain tears.
Always too late, too late to cry, cry for everyone.
Note:
The lyric gives away something of the lyric thoughts of one or two members of the band, and is inspired by the literature and philosophy of Albert Camus.
