Jacob’s Ladder (Glasgow, UK, June 1980) Songtext
von Rush

The clouds prepare for battle,
In the dark and brooding silence;
Bruised and sullen storm clouds
Have the light of day obscured. Looming low and ominous,
In twilight premature,
Thunderheads are rumbling
In a distant overture...


All at once,
The clouds are parted;
Light streams down in bright,
Unbroken beams...

Follow men′s eyes
As they look to the skies,
The shifting shafts of shining
Weave the fabric of their dreams.
