Man Of A Thousand Faces Lyrics - Marillion

I'm the man of a thousand faces 

A little piece of me in every part I take 

I hold the tape for a thousand races 

A different point of view in every speech I make 

Cut me a piece of my divided soul 

Cry me a river, call it rock and roll 

Give me an attitude and watch me make it lie 

Pass me a microphone 

I need to testify 

Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity 

Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity 

Speak to the present in the past and future tense 

Speak to a slave with the voice of obedience 

I'm the man of a thousand ages 

You see my face in the stones of the Parthenon 

You hear my song in the babble of Babylon 

I'm the man of a thousand riches 

Be my guest at the feast of Satyricon 

You spend the money that my logo's printed on 

Well I'll speak to machines with the voice of humanity 

Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity 

Speak to the present in the past and future tense 

Speak to a slave with the voice of obedience 

I stole a fire but it burned up much too soon 

I took a leap and I landed on the moon 

Look at my life and it looks like CNN 

You see something once 

You know it's gonna come around again 

Well I'll speak to machines with the voice of humanity 

Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity 

Speak to a woman with the fatal charm of a snake 

Forgive like a giver and account for all I take 

Yes, I speak to machines with the voice of humanity 

Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity 

Speak like a leader with the voice of power and command 

And when I talk to God I know he'll understand 

Cause I'm the man of a thousand faces 

Yes I'm the man of a thousand faces 

I stole a fire but it burned up too much too soon 

I took a leap and I landed on the moon 

Voice of command 

Voice of a snake 

Voice of humanity 

Voice of insanity 

Voice of obedience 

Thousand faces 

Thousand races 

Cry me a river 

Steal a fire 

Face in the stars 

Stones in the Parthenon 

Babble of Babylon 

Landed on the moon
