King Crimson
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Shine, shine, the light of good works shine
2
The watch before the city gates depicted in their prime
3
That golden light all grimy now
4
Three hundred years have passed
5
The worthy Captain and his squad of troopers standing fast
6
The artist knew their faces well
7
The husbands of his lady friends
8
His creditors and councilors
9
In armor bright, the merchant men
10
Official moments of the guild
11
In poses keen from bygone days
12
The city fathers frozen there
13
Upon the canvas dark with age
14
The smell of paint, a flask of wine
15
And turn those faces all to me
16
The blunderbuss and halberd-shaft
17
And Dutch respectability
18
They make their entrance one by one
19
Defenders of that way of life
20
The redbrick home, the bourgeoisie
21
Guitar lessons for the wife
22
So many years we suffered here
23
Our country racked with Spanish wars
24
Now comes a chance to find ourselves
25
And quiet reigns behind our doors
26
We think about posterity again
27
And so the pride of little men
28
The burghers good and true
29
Still living through the painter's hand
30
Request you all to understand
