Yes - The Ancient: Giants Under The Sun Lyrics






The Ancient probes still further into the past beyound the
Point of remembering. Here Steve's guitar is pivotal in sharpening
Reflection on the beauties and treasures of lots civilisations
Indian, Chinese, Central American, Atlantean. These and other people
Left an immense treasure of knowledge

As one with the knowledge and magic of the source
Attuned to the majesty of music
They marched as one with earth

Sol, Dhoop
Sun
Ilios
Naytheet
Ah Kin
Saule
Tonatiuh
Qurax
Gunes, Grian
Surie
Ir
Samse

So the flowering creativity of life wove its web face to face with
The shallow
And their gods sought out and conquered
Ah Kin

Do the leaves of green stay greener through the autumn
Does the colour of the sun turn crimson white
Does a shadow come between us in the winter
Is the movement really light

And I heard a million voices singing
Acting to the story that they had heard about
Does one child know the secret and can say it
Or does it all come out along without you
Along without you
Along without you

Where does reason stop and killing just take over
Does a lamb cry out before we shoot it dead
Are there many more in comfort understanding
Is the movement in the head

And I heard a million voices singing
Acting to the story that they had heard about
Does one child know the secret and can say it
Or does it all come out along without you
Along without you
Along without you

    The way I see it they could have trimmed this down quite a bit - the first four minutes for a start....

    I think Yes sometimes is beautiful...sometimes is boring...

  13. P.... 6....

    simply majestuous.

  14. r.... y....

    This song has to be the most unpopular song on one of the most unpopular albums ever released on a major label.

    r.... y....

    This song is one of the most underated songs ever.Is a MASTERPIECE.

    r.... y....

    You mean that unpopular album that went Gold on both sides of the Atlantic in its release period, made number one and still is on sale in every record shop left trading more than forty years after release? Perhaps you mean "critically unloved by journalists"

    r.... y....

    This double album , when released, was quintessential YES, I don't think early yes released anything that wasn't a masterpiece

    r.... y....

    Andy Tangent sweet facts

  15. 2.... ....

    12:25 onwards. Best part of the song imo

    2.... ....

    The entire song is the best part of the song.

    2.... ....

    Best part of the album. It's almost like the first 12 minutes of this song are a trial of pointless rambling before getting there. It's so beautiful.
