Gog Songtext
von Van der Graaf Generator

Some call me Satan, others have me God
Some name me Nemo, I am unborn
Some speak of me in anagrams
Some grieve upon my wrath, the ones who give me service
I grant my scorn
My words are too late, never, impossible and gone

My home is in the sunset and the dawn
My name is locked in silence, sometimes it′s whispered out of spite
All gates are locked, all doors are barred and bolted
There is no place for flight
Will you not come to me and love me for one more night?


Some see me shining, others have me dull, gun-metal and cut diamond
I am all
Some swear they see me weeping in the poppy-fields of France
In the tumbling of the dice, see them fall
Some laugh and see me laughing down the corridors of power
Some see my sign on Caesar and his pall
My face is robed in darkness, sometimes you glimpse me in the shade
All friends have gone, all calls are weak and wasted there is no more to say
Will you not crawl to me and love me for one more day?

Some wish me empty, others will me full
Some crave of me infinity
I am none
Some look for me in symbols, some trace my line in stars
Some count my ways in numbers: I am no one
Some chronicle my movements, my colours and my clothes
Some trace the work in progress
It is done
It is done
It is done

My soul is cast in crystal yet unrevealed beneath the knife
All wells are dry, all bread is masked in fungus and now disease is rife
Will you not run from this and love me for one more life
Will you not run from this and love me for one more life
Will you not run from this and love me for one more
