Morning Awesome
Rush - "The Larger Bowl (A Pantoum)" Live
Cool lyrics after the jump...
A pantoum is a form of poetry in which the second and fourth lines of the first stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the second stanza and so forth until the last stanza when the first and third lines are repeated as the second and forth lines of the second-to-last stanza. Errrm... Simple! Here are the lyrics:
If we're so much the same like I always hear
Why such different fortunes and fates?
Some of us live in a cloud of fear
Some live behind iron gates
Why such different fortunes and fates?
Some are blessed and some are cursed
Some live behind iron gates
While others only see the worst
Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others only see the worst
Such a lot of pain on the earth
The golden one or scarred from birth
Somethings can never be changed
Such a lot of pain on this earth
It's somehow so badly arranged
Somethings can never be changed
Some reasons will never come clear
It's somehow so badly arranged
If we're so much the same like I always hear
(CHORUS breaks the pantoum pattern)
Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others only see the worst
Such a lot of pain on the earth
