Lyrics Roger Waters – The Papal Edict
Text:
Scene 4 «The Papal Edict»
RINGMASTER
Trade wings, buffeting the sweet molasses
Smoke of burning cane
Push, swelling East the spreading ripples of unrest,
Back to Europe and the rain
The Holy See safe on Tiber’s shore
Surveys the flotsam on the tide
Ignores the cries of drowning men and
Passes on the other side
Back to Europe and the rain
The Holy See safe on Tiber’s shore
Surveys the flotsam on the tide
Ignores the cries of drowning men and
Passes on the other side
