VDGG - Pilgrims

I've dreamed but now, awake,
I can see we are pilgrims and so
must walk this road,
unknown in our purpose,
alone, but not worthless,
and home ever calling us on.
We've been waiting here for so long,
all of our hands joined in hope,
holding the weight on the rope
all of us pilgrims.


Just beautiful, as all his lyrics are.

It must be King Crimson's Epitaph.

In the house where nobody laughs
And nobody sleeps
In the house where love lies dying
And the shadows creep
A little girl hides, shaking,
With her hands on her ears
Pushing back the tears, 'til the pain disappears

Mama says some ugly words
Daddy pounds the wall
They can fight about their little girl later
Right now they don't care at all
No matter what they say...
No matter what they say...

EVERYDAY PEOPLE
EVERYDAY SHAME
EVERYDAY PROMISE
SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES

EVERYDAY SUNRISE
ANOTHER EVERYDAY STORY
RISE FROM THE ASHES --
A BLAZE OF EVERYDAY GLORY

In the city where nobody smiles
And nobody dreams
In the city where desperation
Drives the bored to extremes

Just one spark of decency
Against a starless night
One glow of hope and dignity
A child can follow the light
No matter what they say
No matter what they say...

If the future's looking dark
We're the ones who have to shine
If there's no one in control
We're the ones who draw the line
Though we live in trying times --
We're the ones who have to try
Though we know that time has wings --
We're the ones who have to fly

My favorite one-liner is from "Wind At My Back" on Spock's Beard's Snow album:

"My soul has been kissed just because you exist."

IDK why but I always loved this verse by Pink Floyd:

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two seperate glances meet
And I am you
And what I see is me

Also, By Genesis:

And it's-
Hello babe
With your gaurdian eyes so Blue
Hey My Baby
Don't you know our love is true
I've been So far from here
Far from your loving arms

But the next line kinda ruins it

Since I have Yes going in the car, I'll vote for

"Gold stainless nail, Torn through the distance of man" from Siberian Khatru
and "
Our gods awake in thunderous roars, and guide the leaders hand in paths of glory to the cause" from Gates.

Definitely something from Peter Sinfield. A line that comes to my mind right now is "Children kneel in Jesus, till they learn the price of nails". But I believe that all his work with King Crimson is just beyond comparison.

How about "Der Wurstplanet vertieft im Gebet mit Jesus wirkt sehr verstört ohne TV"? Translation: "The sausage planet, absorbed in prayer to Jesus, seems very agitated without tv".
You have three guesses who sings this.

House With No Door

There's a house with no door and I'm living there
at nights it gets so cold
and the days are hard to bear inside.
There's a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in,
falling through my head as I try to think out time.
I don't know you, you say you know me,
that may be so,
there's so much that I am unsure of ...
You call my name, but it sounds unreal,
I forget how I feel, my body's rejecting the cure.
There's a house with no bell, but then nobody calls;
I sometimes find it hard to tell
if any are alive at all outside.
There's a house with no sound; yes, it's quiet there
there's not much point in words
if there's no-one to share in time.
I've learned my lines, I know them so well,
I am ready to tell
whoever will finally come in
Of the line in my mind that's cold in the night,
it doesn't seem right
when there's that little dark figure running ...

There's a house with no door
and there's no living there:
one day it became a wall ...
well I didn't really care at the time.
There's a house with no light,
all the windows are sealed,
overtaxed and strained NOW NOTHING IS REVEALED BUT TIME
I don't know you, you say you know me,
that may be so,
there's so much that I am unsure of ...
You call my name, but it sounds unreal,
I forget how I feel,
my body's rejecting the cure .....
Won't somebody help me ......?

You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice

"Attention, all planets of the Solar Federation! Attention, all planets of the Solar Federation!

We have assumed control...

We have assumed control...

We have assumed control..."



OK, so technically that's a two liner, repeated.

We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim

Let the truth of love be lighted
Let the love of truth shine clear
Sensibility
Armed with sense and liberty
With the Heart and Mind united
In a single perfect sphere

 

More than one line, but...

Really hard to make a decision but I'm going with:

"You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill"
-Rush

Always thought it was really funny
