Van Der Graaf Generator - A Plague Of Lighthouse-keepers(iv) Shm

A Plague Of Lighthouse-keepers
Van Der Graaf Generator

"Unreal, unreal" ghost helmsmen scream

and fall in through the sky,

Not breaking, through my seagull shrieks:

no breaks until I die.

The spectres scratch on window
hollowed faces, and mindless grins

only intent on destroying what they've lost.

I crawl the wall till steepness ends

in the vertical fall;

My pain has sailed into the sea
no joking hopes at dawn!

White bone shine in the iron
Lost mastheads pierce the freezing dark

and parallel my isolated tower...

no paraffin for the flame
no harbour left to gain.
