Bernie Christie - Tragic Symphony Lyrics

You were so pleased with yourselves
Held safe in your own magnificence
I had never seen such beauty sail
Charged with a grand omniscience
And I was with you on every breath of wind
I helped you ease with swan-like grace
Through my softly spoken seas
That's when your fate became known to me

Why, why did you challenge me?
You should have known you would never win
Your increasing speed would only compete
With your ever increasing need for greatness
And you lost respect now, and you lost respect
You were let down by your complacency
That's when your fate became known to me

And you were screaming
And it was beautiful
In my usually silent waters you claimed the sky
What a haunting harmony
A tragic symphony

What a wonderful perilled sound you made
In your most tragic hour of night
I didn't want it to end but I could feel your pain
So gradually I took your life and let you fall
Cradled by your prayers fall
Gently to my bed
You couldn't be in a more peaceful place
I pulled you deep and laid your souls to rest
