The Return Of Pan Lyrics - Waterboys

I stood upon the balcony with my brand new bride 

the clink of bells came drifting down the mountainside 

When in our sight something moved 

- lightning eyed and cloven hooved - 

The great god Pan is alive! 

He moves amid the modern world in disguise 

it's possible to look into his immortal eyes 

He's like a man you'd meet anyplace 

Until you recognise that ancient face 

The great god Pan is alive! 

At sea on a ship in a thunder storm 

on the very night that Christ was born 

A sailor heard from overhead 

a mighty voice cry "Pan is dead!" 

So follow Christ as best you can 

Pan is dead! Long Live Pan!
