Texty: Uriah Heep. The Magician's Birthday. Blind Eye.
Stranger than the sunrise
Darker than the night
Fiercer than a rainstorm
This is man's delight
This is man's delight
Weaker than a moment
And hot as any fire
Blinder than the blind eye
This is man's desire
This is man's desire
I ran to a place in the open sea
Where I pledged my life to the sun
It was good for a while
I could laugh, I could smile
But when I woke up one day
The sun had gone
I ran to a place in the open sea
Where I pledged my whole life to the sun
It was good for a while
I could laugh, I could smile
But when I woke up one day
The sun had gone, had gone
Had gone, had gone, had gone, had gone
So, what of my meaning?
What am I trying to say?
What of my caution?
I?m a man anyway
I?m a man anyway
I?m a man anyway
I?m a man anyway
I?m a man anyway
