Circle of Hands Lyrics
Circle of hands
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land
For an enemy
Came across
Love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost
Sky full of eyes
Minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts
Down to their graves
Murdered the dawn
Spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun
Of which love was born
We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice - the future has it's price
And today is only
Yesterday's tomorrow
Tomorrow ...
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land
For an enemy
Came across
Love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost
Minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts
Down to their graves
Murdered the dawn
Spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun
Of which love was born
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice - the future has it's price
And today is only
Yesterday's tomorrow

A really wonderful song! I think it tells a story. It's something like a part of the whole story that Uriah Heep's songs tell. One can certainly think about his own life while listening to it, and consider if he is keeping these lies away. I especially like this phrase: "Today is only yesterday's tomorrow"... Man, someone can write a book on these words!
this is one of my fav Uriah Heep songs....how can there only be one post....its an amazing song...try and listening to this song alone withe the lights off..its fucken baddd...
I did as you said Lizard_Queen, I turned my lights off, turned my really good headphones up full and just sat. An experience to blow anyone away!
It's a great song, wonderful to listen to. The temp changes, lyrics, everything about this song.
It seems as a co9nflict of light and dark magicians in music, or over the direction of music.
From love, he is saved from evil, which dissolves in the preseance of beauty. Then he encounters something dark, which reminds me of Satanism in heavey metal, though he may have had in mind any sort of political evil, principalities and powers and such. For the sake of tomorrow, these must be kept away, even at some cost. We think Hensley's caracter is a white Magician, like Merlin, whose spirits, like Shakespear'es Prospero's, are involved in poetry.
