Man of Clay Lyrics

For a man of clay

It’s too late today

So the holy ones pray

And the seven array

Searching for the hidden way

In a troubled land

Neath the setting sun

He’s a word away

A man of clay

Searching for the golden dawn

In the hottest days

He wasted away

And the deserts blazed

With the angels in praise

Searching for Elijah to save

Now this lowly man

Toiling under the sun

Faces evil in the promised land

For a message hidden under the tongue

The words don’t come

And it’s too late to say

For a man of clay

In the world today

The price he paid is yesterday

Now truth is the word

That empowers this bird

But the shackles they bind

And his soul is declined

Searching for his freedom defined

In a troubled land

Neath the setting sun

He’s a word away

A man of clay

Searching for the golden dawn

He’s a word away

A man of clay

Searching for the golden dawn

He’s a word away

A man of clay

Searching for the golden dawn
