| | Tarkus Lyrics Artist(Band):Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Has the dawn ever seen your eyes? Have the days made you so unwise? Realize, you are. Had you talked to the winds of time, Then you'd know how the waters rhyme, Taste of wine, How can you know where you've been? In time you'll see the sign And realize your sin. Will you know how the seed is sown? All your time has been overgrown, Never known. Have you walked on the stones of years? When you speak, is it you that hears? Are your ears bone? You can't hear anything at all. II. Mass The preacher said a prayer. Save ev'ry single hair on his head. He's dead. The minister of hate had just arrived to late to be spared. Who cared? The weaver in the web that he made! The pilgrim wandered in, Commiting ev'ry sin that he could So good... The cardinal of grief was set in his belief he'd saved From the grave The weaver in the web that he made! The high priest took a blade To bless the ones that prayed, And all obeyed. The messenger of fear is slowly growing, nearer to the time, A sign. The weaver in the web that he made! A bishops rings a bell, A cloak of darkness fell across the ground Without a sound! The silent choir sing and in their silence, Bring jaded sound, harmonic ground. The weaver in the web that he made! III. The Battlefield Clear the battlefield and let me see All the profit from our victory. You talk of freedom, starving children fall. Are you deaf when you hear the season's call? Were you there to watch the earth be scorched? Did you stand beside the spectral torch? Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face, Scattered on the ashes of disgrace. Ev'ry blade is sharp; the arrows fly Where the victims of your armies lie, Where the blades of brass and arrows reign Then there will be no sorrow, Be no pain.

Review about Tarkus Hard to pick ELPs best, but can't go wrong here | Reviewer: Gary | 5/23/09 The album version is definitive. I'm trying to memorize it all so I can play it in my head note for note. I don't play an instrument. If you can, download a torrent or trade for one of the live versions. Boston 12/73 is my fav. Jersey City 8/73 quality is not as good, but at 40 minutes, it's worth having and enjoying. Keith wears his Tarkus medallion 24x7. Guess that tells you that he thinks of this work as his masterpiece. Bummer he had to cancel his tour due to recurring hand problems. A Three Part Symphonic Masterpiece | Reviewer: Karl Kotas | 12/18/08 Tarkus is truly a masterpiece of modern symphonic rock. It's uncool to like it now, but let's face it... it's opera, theater, comic books, poetry, drama, mythology,jazz and heavy cosmic symphonic synthesizer rock n roll all put together. Someday, this will be discovered by a new generation who will expand on these themes and the music will be incredible! Back to ELP after a long time | Reviewer: Bill | 2/2/08 I listened to ELP from the first album on in the 70's. ELP was my favorite group when I was in my 20's. I am now in my 60's and have re-discovered and remembered how much ELP moved me. Tarkus is mind blowing and still moves me as much as it did then. The progressive rock they produced was fabulous. What a great sound. Right on! | Reviewer: Un Turco | 1/29/08 I'm now 36 and I love this song just as much I did (or maybe more -- not sure..) when I was 14. Nothing nostalgic here. It's just the timelessness of the piece...Man, I'm proud of my taste when I was 14 year old. Ironic thing is that many of my disco "buddies" think I don't know much about 70's music. I tell them about ELP and others to no avail as to me, what made the 70's worth anything (music-wise) was progressive rock. Well such is life... Beautiful | Reviewer: Moore | 1/9/08 As a fan of this song I'd like to mention that Jordan Rudess has made a cover of Tarkus and it's on his 2007 album "The Road Home". It sounds perfect. And even though it's a cover it doesn't lack emotion and definitely not musicianship. Check it out if you like this song. Progressive rock | Reviewer: Carlton | 11/6/07 Electric symphonic music is paralleled by no other. The music of these guys and yes need to be more heard by the general public. What this music really is is modern symphonies. These songs also require a large amount of muicianship. I know, I am a muscian. More people just need to sit down and let music take them though the less-seen spaces of their minds. damn fine music | Reviewer: tony | 8/14/07 why cant music be this good anymore?? granted there are a few bands trying and succeding but they dont get the credit they deserve. when most people think about a song longer than 4-min they freak but if they just listened they would drift away into the music of elp,yes,pink floyd, the mars volta or any other greatly talented bands. tarkus is the shit!! ELP Progressive Rock at its Finest | Reviewer: Neal | 2/7/07 An epic from progresssive rock history! Keith's keyboards, Greg's bass and guitar, and Carl's percussion work were never better showcased than in Tarkus. The coordination of the three during Tarkus's rampage is simply amazing! Clamp on the headphones on and let your imagination take you there! Focus on one of the guys and then check out the other, it boggles the brain how these perfectionist musician got it all down--and they played this in concert!
