Cogs in Cogs lyrics
by Gentle Giant
[Instrumental Intro 00:00–00:36]
[Verse 1: Derek Shulman]
Empty promise broken, the path has not been paved anyway
Cogs in cogs, the machine is being left where it lay
Anger and the rising murmur breaks the old circle
The wheel slowly turns around
[Verse 2: Derek Shulman]
All words saying nothing, the air is sour with discontent
No returns have been tasted, or are they ever sent
Slow burning in the fire, rising murmur breaks the old circle
The wheel slowly turns around
[Chorus: Derek Shulman, Kerry Minnear]
Cogs in cogs, wheels turning around
(Cogs, cogs in wheels turning around)
[Instrumental Break 01:23–01:48]
[Bridge Voice 1: Derek Shulman]
The circle turns around, the changing voices calling
The circle turns around, the changing voices calling
The circle turns around, the changing voices calling
The circle turns around, the changing voices calling
The circle turns around, the changing voices calling
The circle turns around, the changing voices calling
The circle turns around, the changing voices calling
The circle turns around, the changing voices calling
The circle turns around, the changing voices calling
[Bridge Voice 2: Derek Shulman]
(Circle turns around, the changing voices)
(Circle turns around, the changing voices)
(Circle turns around, the changing voices)
(Circle turns around, the changing voices)
(Circle turns around, the changing voices)
(Circle turns around, the changing voices)
(Circle turns around, the changing voices)
(Circle turns around, the changing voices)
(Circle turns around, the changing voices)
(Circle turns around, the changing voices)
(Circle turns around, the changing voices)
(Circle turns around, the changing voices)
(Circle turns around, the changing)
[Verse 3: Derek Shulman]
Slow burning in the fire, rising murmur breaks the old circle
The wheel slowly turns around
[Instrumental Break 02:29–03:01]
[Outro: Derek Shulman, Kerry Minnear]
Cogs in cogs in wheels in circles, slowly turn around
(Cogs, cogs in wheels, cogs, cogs in circles turning all around)
