Hope For The Future - Marillion

I've been feeling kind of down and loose 
Like a Rosicrucian pope 
Head down deep in the womb of time 
Carrying a message of hope 
My hands steady as a hangman's hands 
Surer than the hangman's rope 
I could sleep for invisible years 
Carrying a message of hope 
For the future 
Carrying a message 
Carrying a message 
Message of hope 

I found a power on a dusty shelf 
Hey! the languages I learned
Now I'm so powerful I hurt myself 
I hurt myself 
I feel kind of limbic brain
Like the library of an astronaut
Found hidden in a pyramid 
Shadowing a body of thought 

Carrying a message 
Carrying a message
Message of hope 

Madam I'm Adam, I'm a palindrome 
Never odd or even any time 
Fishin' and smilin' like a garden gnome
Twisting tales and spinning lines 
Why don't we twist like we did last year? 

Carrying a message 
Carrying a message
Message of hope
