Вступление
IAN ANDERSON – Puer Ferox Adventus
from “Homo Erraticus” (2014)
[Intro]
N.C.
The brash North wind strikes upon this isle of Lindisfarne
I offer searching souls the wisdom of my years
These lessons writ in book of ages holy, past
The agony, the righteous path to steer between the waves
The dark abyss, tied to the mast
[Verse 1]
Bm A Bm
This sponge of pragmatic Constantine
D A Bm
Mops them all up and wipes them clean
Bm A Bm
It's all okay, it's all official
Bm A F#m Bm
The Christ Child advent here to be seen
Em Bm A E
Saturn's Solstice, Yuletide blotted
G D/F# Bm E A
Blended in cynic in-nocence
Bm A Bm
Meet in Milan and host the party
D A F#m E G#
Safer to sit astride the fence
C#m B C#m
What is this book? These airy pages?
E B C#m
Scribed and scribbled with latitude
C#m B C#m
Tallest tales for poor and needy
C#m B G#m C#m
In wide-eyed wonder at faith renewed
F#m C#m B F#
Words of gospel and redemption
A E/G# C#m F# B
Absolution if we re-pent
C#m B C#m
Emperor's deathbed, late salvation
E B G#m F#
Baptism in dubious testament
[Chorus 1]
F#m E F#m
There's a wild child coming
A E F#m
There's an angry man
A E B G#m
There's a new age dawning here
B G#m F#
To an old age plan
[Verse 2]
C#m B C#m
Manic mother, her child gone missing
E B C#m
Found in the temple with the elder men
C#m B C#m
Gone about His Father's business
C#m B G#m C#m
Yeah, but he soon goes missing once again
F#m C#m B F#
Ducked his head with the mad-John prophet
A E/G# C#m F# B
West bank desert, doubts and fear
C#m B C#m
White magic, healing, and exorcism
E B G#m F#
Got twelve good men - now the gang's all here
[Chorus 2]
F#m E F#m
There's a wild child coming
A E F#m
There's an angry man
A E B G#m
There's a new age dawning here
B G#m F#
To an old age plan
[Instrumental 1]

[Verse 3]
Bm A Bm
Proclamation, divine seed sown
D A Bm
Did he really say that thing?
Bm A Bm
On donkey colt, calm, to the Passion
Bm A F#m Bm
Knowing full well what the charge must bring
Em Bm A E
The body bread, a farewell supper
G D/F# Bm E A
Bounty silver, a kiss betrayed
Bm A Bm
It's a long, hard haul, that Via Dolorosa
D A F#m E C#
No last contrition, quite unafraid
[Chorus 3]
F#m E F#m
There's a wild child coming
A E F#m
There's an angry man
A E B G#m
There's a new age dawning here
B G#m F#
To an old age plan
F#m E F#m
There's a wild child coming
A E F#m
There's an angry man
A E B G#m
There's a new age dawning here
B G#m F#
To an old age plan
[Instrumental 2]
