LYRICS:
Circle of hands
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land for an enemy
Came across love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost
Sky full of eyes, minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts, down to their graves
Murdered the dawn, spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun of which love was born
We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice, the future has its price
And today is only yesterday's tomorrow
We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice, the future has its price
And today is only yesterday's tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow

"Circle of hands, cold spirits plan, Searching my land...for an enemy! Came across...love's sweet cost, and in the face of beauty, evil was lost!" What a stanza! I could teach a master class on this guy's lyrics! I'm not a musicologist but I'd like to have a go at teaching the proper compositional accompaniment to these words, setting the perfect mood to such words! The sinister elements, "Sky full of eyes, minds full of lies, black from their cold hearts, down to their graves" juxtaposed with the hopeful struggle, "we must keep them away, or pretty soon we'll pay, and count the cost in sorrow, sacrifice...the future has its price, and today is only yesterday's tomorrow!" This song has it all and these guys are MASTER storytellers! Instrumentation, vocals and words!

[@lasersailor8629]

F#%ing insane and beautiful music from an era long gone... I heard this tune as a youngster living overseas in Greece, my older brothers all had kickass old school stereos, lol. Those old stereo systems were BAD@$$, the very best sound systems available back in the day... and tunes like THIS sounded SO F#%ING GOOD while cranked on these systems, lol. I was lucky to have seven older brothers who ALL dug rock & roll, yeah?

[@mistu705]

The first LP I got for Christmas was Uriah Heep Live. I still listen to it. I played keyboard in a band from Wiesbaden and we opened for Uriah Heep Concert in Lahnstein on April 7, 1987 - it was the greatest thing ever

[@zepfan74]

Today is only yesterday's tomorrow... Best lyric ever! Uriah Heep is my favorite band. Discovered them at a yard sale at age 10 in 1984 buying 6 of their albums for 25 cents a piece. Been hooked ever since 37 years later!!

[@bqqmoperatorkc-135q3]

Nice discovery at that yard sale. You got me by 20 years. I'm 59 and saw these guys twice.....in the 70s but I never really knew how amazing they were till now. They always came on stage as a front band for the corporate headline....nudge or AC DC or judas priest like that....but these guys are the most prolific rock band in history. And the most beautiful ever...... I just figured this out. I'm 59...so.....I guess it's never too late ......this is the most beautiful rock I've ever heard. I play drums and can't wait to play to this....if I can....

[@alfonsovargas5045]

What a fortunate event !!! Congratulations. I love Uriah Heep a lot, just like you do.

The good die Yong David Byron rip Ken Hensley

[@paulgrace3439]

Music like this is sadly not anymore. The lyrics, the harmonies, the melody all beautifully intwined making a masterpiece of classic timeless progressive rock. The vocal Melody’s put bands such as Queen to shame though I’m not a Queen fan at all. The soaring guitar compliments Mr. Byron’s vocal Melody’s beautifully. Mr Hensley is a master composer and his keyboards and organ are classic. I’m a big progressive rock fan and this would be modern along with classic periods. Nothing made today has that creative original quality like Byron era Heep.

[@joaoafonsorochacardoso5508]

Era como dizia um grande amigo meu que me ensinou a distinguir o que era música de qualidade e música comercial, que Deus o tenha em conta, obrigada**LARAMI**

[@markpalavosvrahotes5575]

I don’t know about putting Queen to shame. That’s quite a statement. Don’t get me wrong though Heep is one of the best bands and it seems like they have been forgotten about.

[@charlesdigennaro4981]

The roar of ken Hensley hammond B3 in the begining sends chills to this day. Byron’s lyrics and vocals unprecedented. Greatest ever

[@robertmcpherson1617]

Byron didn't write these lyrics; they were written by Hensley (as were most of the more poetic lyrics).

The coolest opening to a song. EVER. Most bands would have given their nuts to have thought of this.

[@bqqmoperatorkc-135q3]

Even Jon Lord or Ted Neally would weep to have thought of this organ.... its true.....we just never knew how powerful the non, corporate music was.... These guys never went corporate...so we never heard them on the corporate radios....the greatest music NEVER HEARD....

[@robertmcpherson1617]

I grew up in St. Louis so I had K-SHE. I heard this stuff all the time. I honestly thought Uriah Heep was much more popular than they actually were. However, they were HUGE in Continental Europe! Germany, Ugoslavia (at the time) Sweden. Countries like these kept them going all through the times when they were Luke warm in the States or even their home country of Great Britain. I have become grateful to K-SHE radio and the other album rock oriented stations in the country.

somehow reminds me of "Watcher of skies" Intro. That was actually in the same year but Genesis used Mellotron and Uriah Heep probably the Hammond organ. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJLKiIuog696oMk btw crazy year 1972 with Heeps "Demons and Wizards", Genesis "Foxtrot" and Yes "Close to the edge" only to mention few.

Действительно, Дэвид Гаэррэк (Байрон) обладал потрясающе - завораживающим, порой мистическим Голосом, с которым он шикарно раскрылся в Магическом проекте ,,Сказочный Герой", под названием Rock Band «Uriah Heep», где он вместе с Кенном Хенсли и другими музыкантами Группы, создавал и воплащал композиции-шедевры, и поэтому поправу входит в кагорту лучших Рок-Вокалистов мировой Рок-Культуры !!! Светлая Память !

[@nicodrews]

Born in 68. I have been paralized by the 7"s turning on the players and the LP covers shocked me in swinging city of Lübeck. Then the 80s brought them back as I was a teeny dancing to their rockballads in "bad" Segeberg where I started to make Super - 8 movies. This is excellent music coming in the state of the art sound now during covid into my ears via KZbin for artists messaging. I am so glad listening to it. Thank you for this. Uriah Heep have always done their own soundtrack for the individual movie in the listeners heads, the funny german trendexpression "Kopfkino" fits to it. Hey! Rock on! thx

[@bqqmoperatorkc-135q3]

You not kidding.me?.... I saw these guys in 77 at reno livestock center....for Ted nudgent....they brought the house down.....Ted was just a ticket seller....I never knew till now how AMAZING this band is.....it took me 40 years to figure it out.......I'm just now starting to realize how powerful they are.....well.......its never too late.....this band is the greatest rock band ever created....its only now at 59 yrs old that I finally discovered what I missed in the 70s..... This band speaks to me..... They are pure Majick....rock, blues and classical all in one.... Who knew?.... .. pure majick..
