Verse

The path is clear
Though no eyes can see
The course laid down long before

Bridge

And so with gods and men
The sheep remain inside their pen
Though many times they've seen the way to leave

Verse

He rides majestic
Past homes of men
Who care not or gaze with joy

Bridge

To see reflected there
The trees, the sky, the lily fair
The scene of death is lying just below

Middle Part

The mountain cuts off the town from view
Like a cancer growth is removed by skill
Let it be re-vealed
A waterfall, his madrigal
An inland sea, his symphony
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
[Verse] (variation)
Undinal songs
Urge the sailors on
Till lured by si - rens' cry

Verse

Now as the river
Dissolves in sea
So Neptune has claimed another soul
And so with gods and men
The sheep remain inside their pen
Until the shepherd leads his flock away
[Verse] (variation)
The sands of time
Were eroded by
The river of con- stant change
