Generate meaning
1
I seen a hand, I seen a vision
2
It was reaching through the clouds, To risk a dream
3
A shadow cross the sky
4
And it crushed into the ground, Just like a beast
5
The old man's back again
6
The old man's back again
7
I seen a woman, standing in the snow
8
She was silent as she watched them take her man
9
Teardrops burned her cheeks
10
for she thought she'd heard, The shadow had left this land
11
The old man's back again
12
The old man's back again
13
The crowds just gathered, their faces turned away
14
And they queue all day like dragons of disgust
15
All the women whispering
16
Wondering just what these young hot-heads want of us
17
And entres vie he cries
18
with eyes that ring like chimes
19
His anti-worlds go spinning through his head
20
He burns them in his dreams
21
for half awake they may as well be dead
22
The old man's back again
23
I see he's back again
24
I see a soldier, He's standing in the rain
25
For him there's no old man to walk behind
26
Devoured by his pain
27
bewildered by the faces who pass him by
28
He'd like another name the one he's got's a curse
29
These people cried
30
Why can't they understand
31
His mother called him Ivan then she died
32
The old man's back again
33
The old man's back again
34
I can see him back again
