EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER:   Pictures At An Exhibition

Promenade (instrumental)

The Gnome (instrumental)

Promenade

Lead me from tortured dreams,
Childhood themes,
Of nights alone.

Wipe away endless years,
Childhood tears,
As dry as stone.

From seeds of confusion,
Illusions,
Dark blossoms have grown.

Even now, in furrows
Of sorrow,
The doubt still is sown.

My life's course is guided,
Decided
By limits strown

From charts of my past ways,
And pathways,
Since I was born.

The Sage

I carry the dust of a journey
That cannot be shaken away
It lives deep within me
For I breathe it every day

You and I are yesterdays answers
The earth of the past come to flesh
Eroded by times rivers
To the shapes we now possess.

Come share of my breath and my substance
And mingle our streams and our times
In bright infinite moments
Our reasons are lost in our eyes.

The Hut Of Baba Yaga (instrumental)

The Great Gates Of Kiev

Come forth,
From love's spire,
Born in love's fire.
Born in love's fire.

Come forth,
From love's spire,
In the burning
Of our yearning
For life to be.

And in pain
There will be gain:
Lots of new life!

Stirring in, salty streams
And dark hidden seams
Where the fossil sun gleams

They were
Sent from the gates.
Ride the tides of faith.
Ride the tides of faith.

They were
Sent from the gates,
In the burning
Of our yearning
For life to be.

They were
Sent from the gates.
Ride the tides of faith.
Ride the tides of faith.

They were
Sent from the gates,
In the burning
Of our yearning
For life to be...
To be...
To be!

The End

There's no end
To my life;
No beginning
To my death.
Death is life.
