Kris Kristofferson feat. Chris Montez Lyrics
"Easter Island"

(Kris Kristofferson - Mike Utley)

Guardin' the carcas we stripped and divided
To carve up and covet they wait there alone
Keepin' the secret the rest have forgotten
And starin' in silence from sockets of stone.

Built and obeyed with the best of intentions
Stranger than truth and as lost and alone
Stranded like dogs in a star-spangled manger
No good to nothin' not even their own.

Holy-o-my-God I can't see the stars in the skies
For the sun in my eyes.

She's like a dream that a world quit believin'
Caught in the action back to the sea
How many more might have come from that mountain
Barely the creatures they struggled to be.

Surely the death of so grand and illusion
Left us with legends too great to ignore
Stone cut survivors of ancient dimensions
Lost in the wonder they came to explore.

Holy starlight far brighter than the sun in your eyes
Singin' Thy will be gone
Holy starlight far brighter than the sun in your eyes
Singin' Thy will be gone...
