lyrics

TIGERS WITH BEAUTIFUL VOICES

As I was walking down the main street
On a Wednesday
Watching people cook a watermelon stew
The thought of food was a distraction
A reminder, that there was something I forgot to do
And as I crossed the bridge back home,
I found a note pinned to my shack
It had the pawprint of a tiger
And the words “We’re coming back”

They are not evil, it’s just something they have to do
Tigers with beautiful voices are coming for you

Singing songs, which have words you won’t remember
Righting wrongs, now those days are gone for ever
Come the day, yes you’ve tried to circumvent it
All the way, but you know you can’t prevent it
Maybe you think that you don’t serve a master
What we do is to save all from disaster
Soon you’ll learn, though you thought we’d all been slaughtered
We’ll return – to restore the natural order

As I was walking by the river, on a Friday
Watching idly as the wind blew through the trees
I turned my mind back to the Tigers, and as I stood there
I’m sure I heard a voice upon the breeze
And I as crossed the bridge back home, lit up by lanterns glowing bright
I turned my mind back to the Tigers and that final, fatal night

Did you think, that we kill things for no reason?
It’s the brink of disaster’s final season
Hear our cry, what you’ve done is no solution
You can try – but you can’t stop evolution

Tigers with beautiful voices are coming for you
Next generation
your children
will be
tigers too

"There is lambswool under my naked feet..." - those words always come to my mind while listening to the first bars of "Wide Of The Mark". There's undoubtedly quite some "Genesis" heritage to be found in the music on this album. However, the band that is most closely related to "The ID" is certainly "IQ", which is among the favorite bands and artists named by both Peter Albrektsen (gtr, kbd) and Tim Pepper (v, kbd). So the similarity of the names "ID" vs. "IQ" is obviously not purely coincidental. Being a long-time admirer of the creative output of "IQ", this album inevitably reaches my heart. Sven B.
