Firth Of Fifth (live In Birmingham 2017) Lyrics - Steve Hackett

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth 

it came to pass that beauty settled there forever more 

and as the steam clings close to things to come 

it came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life 

Once upon a time there was confusion 

disappointment, fear and disillusion 

now there's hope reborn with every morning 

see the future clearly at its dawning 

forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness 

as water slips into the sea 

the father's sad to see it free 

As shadows creep towards their master night 

it came to pass that trees defied the wind who shook their leaves 

and as the peace descended all around 

it came to pass that nature's creatures came to face the world 

Once upon a time there was confusion 

disappointment, fear and disillusion 

now there's hope reborn with every morning 

see the future clearly at its dawning 

forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness 

as water slips into the sea 

the father's sad to see it free 

Once upon a time there was confusion 

disappointment, fear and disillusion 

now there's hope reborn with every morning 

see the future clearly at its dawning 

Once upon a time there was confusion 

disappointment, fear and disillusion
