Uria Heep

Stranger than the sunrise.
Darker than the night.
Fiercer than a rain storm.
This is men"s delight.  This is men"s delight.

Weaker than a moment
and hot as any fire.
Blinder than the blind eye.
This is men"s desire.  This is men"s desire.

I ran to a place in the open sea
where I pledged my life to the sun.
It was good for a while,
I could laugh, I could smile,
but when I woke up one day the sun had gone.

I ran to a place in the open sea
where I pledged my whole life to the sun.
It was good for a while,
I could laugh, I could smile,
but when I woke up one day the sun had gone.

So what of my meaning?
What am I trying to say?
What of my caution?
I"m a man anyway.  I"m a man anyway.
