(Brooker / Reid)
Zika nor nama ... hesah!
Through this hourglass
Sands are running fast
In deserted plains
Kingdoms write their names
On these burning sands
Kingdoms show their hands
In these killing fields
Soldiers show their steel
The men who play the gods of war
They stay behind the guarded door
And hostages who seek release
They're crying out to keep the peace
Holding on... Holding on
One day we will be free, one day if we're strong
Holding on... Holding on
Through the shadows cast to a brighter day
In these fields of stone
Far away from home
In this vale of tears
The men who play the gods of war
They stay behind the guarded door
Religious leaders teachin' hate
Praise the war and call it fate

Procol Harum è un gruppo britannico di art rock, attivo dal 1967 al 1970 e poi sporadicamente fino ai giorni nostri. Considerati uno dei primi esponenti dell'art rock, hanno influenzato profondamente il panorama musicale degli anni '60 e '70. Il loro sound è caratterizzato da un mix di elementi classici, psichedelici e progressivi, con una forte attenzione all'arrangiamento orchestrale. Il gruppo è guidato dalla voce solista Gary Brooker, noto per la sua potente interpretazione e il suo stile vocale unico. Tra i brani più celebri di Procol Harum si ricordano "A Whiter Shade of Pale", "Conquistador" e "Simple Sister".
