lyrics
Leader of Men
Blessed be the preacher
Who absolves me of my sins
A madman in the gallows
Grasping threads that now wear thin
You throw your back to the wall;
The tourniquet pulling tight
But now you feel in control;
A saviour from the night
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
Bloodline of deception
Claret boiling from a spark
Whispered ‘insurrection’
Stir the voices in the dark
You feel disease taking hold;
A sickness of the light
And now you see it unfold
The waking warden’s eye
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
Summon forth the fire
Cast it back into the wastes
Shrouded by the iron
take the secret to my grave
You fear the hands reaching high
A nightmare forming clear
Omega, Alpha divide
You’ll bury them right here
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
Blessed be the preacher
Who absolves me of my sins
A madman in the gallows
Grasping threads that now wear thin
You throw your back to the wall;
The tourniquet pulling tight
But now you feel in control;
A saviour from the night
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
Bloodline of deception
Claret boiling from a spark
Whispered ‘insurrection’
Stir the voices in the dark
You feel disease taking hold;
A sickness of the light
And now you see it unfold
The waking warden’s eye
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
Summon forth the fire
Cast it back into the wastes
Shrouded by the iron
take the secret to my grave
You fear the hands reaching high
A nightmare forming clear
Omega, Alpha divide
You’ll bury them right here
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before? This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship. Essential.
