Lyrics:
Has the dawn ever seen your eyes?
Have the days made you so unwise?
Realize, you are
Had you talked to the winds of time
Then you'd know how the waters rhyme
Taste of wine
How can you know where you've been?
In time you'll see the sign
And realize your sin
Will you know how the seed is sown?
All your time has been overgrown
Never known
Have you walked on the stones of years?
When you speak, is it you that hears?
Are your ears full?
You can't hear anything at all
The preacher said a prayer
Save every single hair on his head
He's dead
The minister of hate had just arrived too late to be spared
Who cared?
The weaver in the web that he made
The pilgrim wandered in
Commiting every sin that he could
So good
The cardinal of grief was set in his belief he'd saved
From the grave
The weaver in the web that he made
The high priest took a blade
To bless the ones that prayed
And all obeyed
The messenger of fear is slowly growing, nearer to the time
A sign
The weaver in the web that he made
A bishops rings a bell
A cloak of darkness fell across the ground
Without a sound
The silent choir sing and in their silence
Bring jaded sound, harmonic ground
The weaver in the web that he made
Clear the battlefield and let me see
All the profit from our victory
You talk of freedom, starving children fall
Are you deaf when you hear the season's call?
Were you there to watch the earth be scorched?
Did you stand beside the spectral torch?
Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face
Scattered on the ashes of disgrace
Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly
Where the victims of your armies lie
We're the blades of grass and arrows rain
Then there will be no sorrow
Be no pain

Formed in 1970, Emerson, Lake & Palmer helped define and set new standards throughout one of the most ambitious and experimental periods in 20th-Century popular music. Drawn from The Nice, King Crimson, and Atomic Rooster respectively, they were hailed as progressive rock’s first supergroup. Combining driving dynamics, intricate arrangements, and virtuosic skill, between 1970 and 1978, ELP released seven studio recordings and three live albums. Such was their popularity on both sides of the Atlantic that their records repeatedly achieved Platinum status sales.
Titles such as Tarkus, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery created distinctive worlds that incorporated soaring themes, other-worldly timbres, yearning ballads, humorous pastiche and dramatic long-form conceptual works. While they adapted pieces by classical composers as stylistically varied as Bartok, Mussorgsky, Copland, Ginastera and Rodrigo, ELP sounded like nobody else but themselves.
The trio performed live one final time at London’s High Voltage Festival in July 2010 just weeks short of their debut gig 40th anniversary.
Although Keith Emerson and Greg Lake both sadly passed away in 2016, interest in ELP continues to grow, and Carl Palmer’s own band regularly performs a setlist dedicated to the unique music he helped create. ELP's music continues to find new audiences more than 50 years from their beginning, a striking testament to the group's irrepressible blend of energy, eclecticism, and visceral excitement.

Tarkus is amazing. Beautiful....I feel sad for people who don't get it, who don't love it.
This just shows how virtuosic Carl Palmer is a drummer, this will remain one of the best prog tracks of all time!

saw ELP several times I am grateful to say in the early 70s and all three musicians are/were so amazing.. and yes Carl.. a drummer so unique!!!
Timeless Magnificence, it doesn't get any better. And I'm not getting any younger, but this will never get old.
Amazing album, amazing song. Probably the coolest concept track I ever saw. Thanks ELP for bringing such music to the whole world.
Yes, back in the day
Someone on another upload mentioned how the guitar solo at the end of Battlefield is very Gilmouresque. It really is. Also RIP Greg Lake and Keith Emerson. We all miss you.
Somehow, Tarkus became one of my favorite song... If not my #1. I was immediately fascinated by the song and how it works, but I couldn't admit how much I liked it until I realized just how often I listen to it. I suppose, the song grows on you. I always thought it should be made into a movie.

I had a similar feeling when i first listened to it, as i was about 6 and chose the album for its cover art. I did not "understand" the music at all, but i liked how the drawings seemed to go along with the music, and that formed a chaotic bond in my head. Some years later i listened to the album again, and suddenly i "understood" the music and everything fell into place, and it has been a favorite track ever since.

God Love him! I know he does miss them. But you know Emerson & Lake are in heaven just waiting for Palmer to come jam with them. ❤️ How beautiful. I imagine getting to heaven and hearing all these great bands again. Front row tickets to all. And my dogs will be there too.
I'd forgotten just how good this was, I saw them live in Bournemouth and was astounded by the brilliant musicianship and showmanship still one of my favourite bands.
A prog rock classic right up there with Close to the Edge, Awaken, Supper's Ready, Starless, 2112, Cygnus X-1 (Both books), etc!

ELP IS PROGRSSIVE ROCK OF ALL TIME
One of my favorite concept albums and one of my favorite album covers. Listening to this track as a kid was a trip, trying to associate the paintings in the booklet to the musical changes. It's still unfluential for me to this day, both musically and graphically.
Magnificent! Still my favorite track from one of my favorite bands. I can still remember the first time I heard it. Never gets old.
Three wonderful skilled men, together in a band wondrous and majestic...my teen time comes back while listening them
Cette formation est le reflet d'une époque éclatante révolue, un astéroïde fantôme qui revient jeter son dévolu sur l'art sonore. Comme une onde prodigieuse d'où s'échappent l’insouciance, l'enthousiasme et la féérie, facteurs hypnotiques défiant les âmes vulnérables en quête d'absolu. Son architecture musicale est un court tunnel qui mène à la lumière 🤠
My favorite piece from my favorite group.
I love Tarkus. It is magical. I get lost in it. So dang good.
Majestic masterpiece ❤

Tarkus illuminates the castles in your soul that were obscured by storms and moonless nights., and tears come, and you rise and walk in a new, high calling beneath a revealed sun that is You, and had been there all along. (Endless Enigma, too)

utterly brilliant epic.
Learned this on a Magnus chord organ in high school. The Hammond Porta-B came later.
This album is epic, it is so good.

i love tarkus :)
I can imagine how he can slowly move some direction. And watche the scene around him. Rotate his weapons...and slowly move to some point!! TARKUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSS!!!!🌻🐌🦋 It is very interesting how this track was created..music idea... and this story about Tarkus..how you create him and what is it the scene - he is moving..and what he is doing....
I was impressed a lot, getting that it is a story about a cyborg. It is some machine some animal. And it is going somewhere. It has some battles with other such creatures..as i remember manticore. So it is about cyborgs. This Tarkus. It is a story of Tarkus. And it is also looks like a world war 1 tank. But more cyborg, more fantasy construction, more animal. Wow! And music of course is excellent! Very long track. Containing from some parts. Part Battlfield is my fav. I just listen this part lots of times. And i need to listen it full. Full 20 min track.

I remember when i first listened to this as a kid and trying to match the paintings in the booklet with the music. I always hated the Manticore, hah, because it defeated Tarkus and it ran to the water to get to Aqua Tarkus. I love the design, the animals crossed with old technology is a great aesthetic, i've used it several times in my own drawins. I hope to one day make something as cool as Tarkus, with both music and graphics.

TArkus is some armored covered all body slow moving like a snail. And so amazing music. This is masterpiece. And yes it is a real art rock. I mean, this track is a example of art rock. Very good music. And story. Visions. Concept. Tarkus. I hope some Tarkus can speak and be kind..some next version of this Tarkus creature... And i can shed a tear to get to know that Tarkus lost battle in the end.. this is tears... i am sad.... It is such a creature... Hope these creature next time can be friendly..not only do wars to each other... Dramactical tales of animals cyborgs like snails...robots..machines...tanks..It is so drama!! This is real drama!! I shed a tear about Tarkus..that it is created a little evil..and need to fight others.. and he died in the end... i shed a tear.. about Tarkus.. it touch me a lot.....

It was defeated, but we don't know if it died. I always liked to think that it went into the water and healed itself slowly over time. Maybe moving on to a different place where the Manticore is not around. Or, learning from his defeat and come back even stronger!
