Genesis - Firth Of Fifth Lyrics






The path is clear
Though no eyes can see
The course laid down long before
And so with gods and men
The sheep remain inside their pen
Though many times they've seen the way to leave

He rides majestic
Past homes of men
Who care not or gaze with joy
To see reflected there
The trees, the sky, the lily fair
The scene of death is lying just below

The mountain cuts off the town from view
Like a cancer growth is removed by skill
Let it be revealed
A waterfall, his madrigal
An inland sea, his symphony

Undinal songs
Urge the sailors on
Till lured by the sirens' cry

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

The sands of time were eroded by
The river of constant change

  2. C.... F....

    Anyone else hear the crescendo on that guitar solo? 6:52. Beefed it up most likely in the post mixing, but beautiful..turned up the volume and the base, and threw it in our faces!!

  3. S.... B....

    Vuelta al paraiso

  4. C.... K....

    Steve you the real mvp

  5. L.... H....

    what a wonderful music from genesis

  6. N.... M....

    Whole song slaps but i keep repeating the solo because i hate when it ends

  7. A.... ....

    whoever mixed this.... especially for the guitar solo.... deserves a fucking award. I have never heard deep, rich sounds fused like that before.

  8. D.... ....

    Steve Hackett is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. Most polls don't even have him in the top 100. Total injustice.

    D.... ....

    Agreed. Saw him live a few years ago and was extremely impressed with how well he's doing. I've been collecting his albums for years, I love each and every one of them! Truly underrated!

  9. �.... �....

    Всегда впечатляет слушаю как в первый раз
    Мой любимый концерт у джинезис

  10. a.... a....

    "GENESIS"....UNA LEYENDA.

    erg mooi nummer waarom daar zit alles in...

  13. L.... S....

    Quando lo proposi a mio figlio disse... uhm non male.... poi ha studiato piano ed ha studiato questo intro..... Questo pezzo mi commuove anche dopo centinaia di ascolti......è la poetica della musica prog.... ed oggi lo ripropongo ad un mio allievo.....

  14. E.... R....

    Immensi.Rock prog.Il massimo che possa acscoltare.

  15. D.... s....

    Grazie Papà per avermi insegnato l'arte di ascoltare questi mostri.

    I was walking while this part playing, the cold wind didn't goosebumps me as this part did

  23. V.... M....

    I love the way Gabriel says river like "reever".

    V.... M....

    Accept no "river".

  24. Z.... S....

    Progressive Rock of the 70's has an untouchable richness to it. I love it.

  25. T.... O....

    I think that keyboard solo is underrated.

    I'm 34 years old, my father showed me this band long ago, I'm so grateful for that... Thanks dad... I pity younger generations that think they know what music is...

  35. c.... e....

    Obra maestra

  36. J.... H....

    My wife and daughter are watching the Bachelor... I got headphones and this on!

  37. E.... T....

    Why does nobody talk about the piano part from 4:10 to 4:35

    E.... T....

    Thank you! You're right! I love this part!

  38. J.... M....

    The 1.4k that made your thumbs down don't really know what real music is about!

  39. C.... Z....

    Masterpiece of Genesis!

  40. g.... ....

    E' molto curioso che fra i vari commenti emerga questa sorta di dipendenza dal brano che i Genesis hanno costruito seguendo la sequenza matematica di Fibonacci ,sequenza progettuale del mondo e di tutto l'universo,si parla anche che sia la firma di Dio perchè tutto è riconducibile ad essa.

  41. S.... Q....

    3:32 Genesis H.N.I.C

  42. A.... O....

    Amazing

  43. D.... ....

    Most beautiful guitar solo ever--gets even better when Rutherford joins in on 12 string.

  44. u.... ....

    My neighbors listen to this everyday.

  45. l.... R....

    Questo va oltre il semplice concetto di musica, è un dono ultraterreno. 9 minuti di perfezione continua.

  46. C.... D....

    A Real Great Masterpiece Album hole of time. ..

  47. M.... T....

    I was 7 when my dad played this in his old jag on an 8 track I think it about 1980. I've been hooked on this album ever since

  48. M.... C....

    This has always given me goosebumps. So brilliant!

  49. L.... M....

    I would love to meet just one of the people who dislike this, not to harm them in any way but just to find out what sort sort of music they listen to on the planet that they came from.

  50. A.... L....

    Quando la chitarra nel solo va in maggiore è come se si squarciasse il cielo...

  51. C.... B....

    Fantástico¡¡

  52. z.... B....

    bumpity bumpity bump. yes and yes. guitar/piano. Please this muse stay with us.s

  53. D.... W....

    Still one of my favourites of all time and I have been listening to all sorts of music for nearly 60 years. Absolute classic.

  54. M.... A....

    Thank you for that guitar solo...

  55. h.... ....

    Selling England By The Pound, I prefer: "Verkaufen Sie Deutschland Durch Die Wurst, Nein Nein Nein"
    This is not a joke, I don't know what it is, but it is... something. And a comment.

  56. J.... H....

    I will never forget the first time I heard this song. It was the fall of '93, home from college on break. I picked up 'Selling England by the Pound' on cassette at a local used music store for like $3. The first side was pretty good, but I was floored by the second side which had both Firth of Fifth and Cinema Show (that's how it is on cassette). One of those songs which you remember where you were and what you were doing when you heard it for the first time. One of my all-time favorite songs and albums.

  57. M.... J....

    U n holly holly.Not worthy.

  58. M.... J....

    Best solo

  59. 6.... ....

    Capolavoro!!!❤️

  60. V.... Q....

    Tarde de Natal numa cidade do interior do Rio de Janeiro...e eu ouvindo essa jóia rara do Genesis!
    Absurdamente... maravilhosa!

  61. T.... K....

    That Steve Hackett solo needs to be the song played as I go to heaven

  62. j.... a....

    they truly did _that_

  63. V.... J....

    Quanta qualidade!!! Obrigado meu Deus por ter vivido essa época da música.

  64. J.... H....

    Beautiful Song! Amazing Band!

  65. m.... ....

    One of the best progressive rock songs ever, up with King Crimson's Epitaph and Steven Wilson's The Raven Who Refused to Sing.

    I remember running from school down to the record store to buy this album on the day it was released!

  69. T.... M....

    Better than Stairway to heaven so far
    Wonderfull performance from the most talented progressive rock band before Gabriel left
    Respect for Yes, Pink Floyd and King Crimson

  70. L.... B....

    1979 lavoravo sulle navi mercantili i viaggi erano lunghi e nelle ore in cui riposavo la ascoltavo spesso e vi posso garantire che stare in mezzo all'oceano e ascoltare i genesis e provare una sensazione fantastica

    This is equal to Stairway to Heaven or even better, isn't it?

  73. S.... S....

    Gabriel's brilliance! Why did these guys ditch?

    S.... S....

    Too many egos in one place at the same time. It was inevitable.

    Beautiful.

    Verse 1]
    The path is clear
    Though no eyes can see
    The course laid down long before
    And so with gods and men
    The sheep remain inside their pen
    Though many times they've seen the way to leave

    [Verse 2]
    He rides majestic
    Past homes of men
    Who care not or gaze with joy
    To see reflected there
    The trees, the sky, the lily fair
    The scene of death is lying just below

    [Bridge]
    The mountain cuts off the town from view
    Like a cancer growth is removed by skill
    Let it be revealed

    A waterfall, his madrigal
    An inland sea, his symphony

    [Verse 3]
    Undinal songs
    Urge the sailors on
    'Til lured by the sirens' cry

    LA or San Diego area: I'm looking for someone to either donate (or sell for a low price) 1 or 2 tickets to a concert from The Musical Box (amazing Genesis tribute band) in San Juan Capistrano on 12/14/2019 (I told a friend I would go and he got tickets for me but it will be very difficult for me to go there on that day) - anyone interested ? Jeff: [email protected]

  82. T.... T....

    These dudes were incredible

  83. K.... K....

    Someone asks me what is Prog Rock. I send them a link to this song.

  84. B.... ....

    Tony Banks is a really bitter and judgemental sodder but oh, my God can he play those keys. Steve Hackett is an equally gifted guitarist and oh, my God he's a nice guy too!

    B.... ....

    I agree. Tony is a self-centered cunt. Any idea that wasn't his sucked. He is gifted nevertheless but what a twat. Hackett is a genius.

  85. C.... C....

    Wundervolle Musik ,die ich schon über 30 Jahre genieße 💕💪😇

  86. s.... p....

    Adoro Firth of fifth, per me è la canzone più bella del mondo ❤️

  87. k.... 5....

    A thousand other guitarists play the solo better... Steve Hackett makes us unique by his unorthodox attack on the individual notes.... At times it can sound clumsy... But it really solidifies his unique approach

  88. d.... �....

    sorry Queen but-

  89. N.... G....

    The best guitar solo in the history of prog!

  90. P.... H....

    Best song ever made!

  91. C.... M....

    So much love for this original epicness

  92. C.... S....

    The music and creativity put into this song is equal to 10 years of Taylor Swift. I don't want to be mean to Taylor Swift. The market for beautiful creative music isn't there, hence simple music that appeals to the masses.

  93. J.... T....

    Saw selling England first us tour. Boston. When I was 15. Changed my life.

  94. T.... E....

    Bank's intro is sublime. And the emotion in Steve's guitar from 5:48........

  95. M.... H....

    Listen to my boy Philly.sooooo very underappreciated sooo mazterful... a true skin savage
