The words have been set to music, quite differently, by Robin Trower (1980) and by Gary Brooker; Procol Harum have occasionally played the Brooker version (unrecorded), and it was one of the songs aired at BtP's 'Procol Rarum' evening in London in 2007.
| You were all the rays of sunlight, you were shining gold to me All the colours of the rainbow, I was blessed by high decree You were every moment's pleasure, you were joy beyond compare You were all the rays of sunlight;I was lost without a care Victims of the fury, shadows in the dark Victims of the fury, arrows found their mark So we lived our days in rapture, like the world could never end We weren't thinking 'bout the future: there was time enough to spend We were blessed as though in heaven, we were messengers of joy There were rainbows all around us, there was none who dared destroy Victims of the fury, shadows in the dark Victims of the fury, arrows found their mark Then the world collapsed around us and the buildings overturned We were lambs before the slaughter we were taken out and burned Yes, the world collapsed around us and the archers found their mark We were victims of the fury; we were shadows in the dark |
