Hope For The Future Lyrics - Marillion

I've been feeling kind of down and loose 

Like a Rosicrucian pope 

Head down deep in the womb of time 

Carrying a message of hope 

My hands steady as a hangman's hands 

Surer than the hangman's rope 

I could sleep for invisible years 

Carrying a message of hope 

For the future 

Carrying a message 

Carrying a message 

Message of hope 

I found a power on a dusty shelf 

Hey! the languages I learned 

Now I'm so powerful I hurt myself 

I hurt myself 

I feel kind of limbic brain 

Like the library of an astronaut 

Found hidden in a pyramid 

Shadowing a body of thought 

Carrying a message 

Carrying a message 

Message of hope 

Madam I'm Adam, I'm a palindrome 

Never odd or even any time 

Fishin' and smilin' like a garden gnome 

Twisting tales and spinning lines 

Why don't we twist like we did last year?
