| Van Der Graaf Generator – Scorched Earth Lyrics
| 9 years ago
|
|
Free will versus predestination is a recurring theme in Hammill's lyrics - Flight is a good example; The Comet, the Course, the Tail is another. Scorched Earth provides another exposition of this paradox of human existence, set in the graphic tale of a fugitive burning all behind him as he fights to preserve his individual existence against an implacable foe. |

| Van Der Graaf Generator – Arrow Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
|
This is a song about death. The fugitive, whose desperate efforts to evade his pursuers are doomed to failure, provides a metaphor for the journey each of us makes through lives destined to end in death. Those lives are the numbers fated to be intersected by the line of time. Great music, great lyric and the greatest band. |
