The Wall Song (Demo) [2021 Remaster]

You are walking

You've always been walking

Stumbling half blinded and dry as the wind

That strafes you and leaves you to lie in the sand

And the wall stretches endless beside you to nowhere

This wall that you've been trying to cross for years

This fence made of fears

And nobody hears

You see a door

Ah, such a great open door

You know that your eyes telling lies still you chance

A shambling run, a ridiculous dance

Like a scarecrow that's hung up to dry on a fence pole

And there's a space like you waiting beside you

For you to get through

That one scrap of blue

You scent the water

Fresh clean grass, food and water

Your breath is scraping your brain into dust

Your rusty old engine is ready to bust

You cannot believe it that they would not trust you

But that door is wavering

Is that your eyes?

Are they still telling lies?

What are lies?
