Behind the palace walls – lurking in the dark A shadow of a lonely man – now so very cold at heart Once a mighty king – the Keeper of the Flame Glory were the days – keeping out, the enemies at the gates But he failed to see – the call for a change He failed to see – too many empty faces He failed to see – his people in the streets He failed to see – that nothing stays the same Nothing stays the same It´s the power of the common people – the needs of the simple man It´s the power of the common people – the seeds for a better plan Black lakes in the desert sand – fuel for the wheels in some foreign land Collecting gold and shiny stones – and pretty views from his ivory tower Putting on a perfect smile – for the public display Hiding in the shadow – playing with secret tools of a shady trade and he failed to see – the call for a change He failed to see – too many empty faces He failed to see – his people in the streets He failed to see – that nothing, no nothing stays the same No nothing stays the same, no, no, no, no It´s the power of the common people – the needs of the simple man It´s the power of the common people – the seeds for a better plan It´s the power of the common people – the needs of the simple man It´s the power of the common people – the seeds for a better plan But there´s a whisper in the desert wind Choken words gather strength to a silent scream And as a flower in the burning sand For a moment out of place – a moment out of time But there’s a whisper in the desert wind Choken words gather strength to a silent scream There’s a whisper in the desert wind – and the words gather strength Now it´s a long time past since “Politics” A long time past since “Progress” A long time past since “Speak your Mind” A long time past since “Words of Freedom” It´s the power of the common people – the needs of the simple man It´s the power of the common people – the seeds for a better plan It is the turn of the season! It is the turn of the season! Yeah! It´s the power of the common people – the needs of the simple man It´s the power of the common people – the seeds for a better plan It´s the power of the common people – the needs of the simple man, yeah! It´s the power of the common people – the seeds for a better plan, yeah! Turn of the season – it is – the turn of the season Music: Kent Eskildsen – Lyrics: Kent Eskildsen & Rune M. Nielsen
