Easter Island Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

Guarding the carcass, we stripped and divided 

To carve up and covet they wait there alone 

Keeping the secret the rest have forgotten 

And staring in silence from sockets of stone 

Built and obeyed with the best of intentions 

Stranger than truth and as lost and alone 

Stranded like dogs in a star-spangled manger 

No good to nothing not even their own 

Holy-O-my God-I 

Can't see the stars in the sky 

For the sun in my eye 

She's like a dream that a world quit believin' 

Caught in the action back to the sea 

How many more might have come from that mountain? 

Barely the creatures they struggled to be 

Surely the death of so grand an illusion 

Left us with legends too great to ignore 

Stone-cut survivors of ancient dimensions 

Lost in the wonder they came to explore. 

Holy star light far brighter 

Than the sun in your eye 

Singing thy will be done 

Holy-O-my God-I 

Can't see the stars in the sky 

For the sun in my eye 

Holy star light far brighter 

Than the sun in your eye 

Singing thy will be done
