It is one of their classics I fell in love with the whole album ! Children was voted one of the best albums of all time . Beyond the pale , tower of strength , kingdom come , wing and prayer ...what a masterpiece!
It is still.my favourite opening track to any album. Takes me back to being 16 years old. Saved my life then and still does today. Was just driving home in the rain in floods of tears listening to it today. Not listen to it for a long time. Today I needed to. Thank you 😊
Cold still waters running deep Pale before the eyes Ravaged By the hands that feed Thunder clouds the skies Drifting with the tide Floating with the stream The howling winds have gathered strength From a whisper to a scream Sell me down the river And out to sea Cast me adrift and set me to sail Just one last kiss before raising hell Beyond the pale Beyond the pale Heed to Neptune's calling deceived in fable and lore Learn from treacherous bibles Of murder, hate and war Searching for the tears In an ocean of rain The yearning of the raging sea beckons once again Sell me down the river And out to sea Cast me adrift and set me to sail Just one last kiss before raising hell Beyond the pale Beyond the pale Gathering of the storm And the winds are blowing wild Sweeping over cross and creed, country, color and child Mother nature cries for love Her children lost at sea And as the waves take me away Say a prayer for liberty Sell me down the river And out to sea Cast me adrift and set me to sail Just one last kiss before raising hell Beyond the pale Beyond the pale Beyond the pale Beyond the pale
Amazing, i have seen this band for 3 Times in portugal ... for when a return to a Portugal concert ... I hope soon... This song is one of my favorites ... Beyond the pale !!! :D
Been listening to this almost everyday for the past 3 months since I have been working from home, and it takes me back to being a carefree 13 year old during the late 80's and having the Children album. There are some killer tracks on that album, including A Wing and a Prayer and Kingdom Come, but this track is the standout in my opinion. Is that Duff Mckagan from Guns N Roses in the video?
One of the greatest songs ever...Fact- John Paul Jones ...producer...
wow that´s great info....thanks. im not surprised !!!
Surprised no one has praised or even mentioned the ethereal backing vocals by Julianne Regan of All About Eve. She also sang on “Black Mountain Mist.”
Love her

And heaven on earth, and black mountain mist.. actually there's not one bad song on it xD
You name it ❤
Their best song ever ever. Love it for 24 years by now.
Their songs are timeless. Can't wait to see them live again next month :)
34 years?
A real masterpiece, simply epic, wish these days came back....

Keep going Danny. I love the Mission since Children and still do 😀
Please, one minutes silence for all swedes who still dont know the name of this song....it was featured in a skit in a tv-series called "percy tårar"
2024 still loving this song❤
2013 and I still listen to this song.After 25 years I find this song amazing,as I did when I was a highschool teenager
i have always loved his voice, powerful and fragile, great
And just as good (maybe even slightly better) live in 2017 than it was 30 years ago on album. Brilliant singer, so emotive.
Their best song and they’ve had some great tracks but this by far the best.
Nunca olvidaré el recital de 1988 en el Cilindro. Con esta canción comenzó la fiesta...
Cold still waters running deep
Pale before the eyes
Ravaged
By the hands that feed
Thunder clouds the skies
Drifting with the tide
Floating with the stream
The howling winds have gathered strength
From a whisper to a scream
Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just one last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Heed to Neptune's calling deceived in fable and lore
Learn from treacherous bibles
Of murder, hate and war
Searching for the tears
In an ocean of rain
The yearning of the raging sea beckons once again
Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just one last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Gathering of the storm
And the winds are blowing wild
Sweeping over cross and creed, country, color and child
Mother nature cries for love
Her children lost at sea
And as the waves take me away
Say a prayer for liberty
Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just one last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Thank you🙏🏻🤍
In den 80-zigern war ich völlig verrückt nach dieser Musik, laut aufgedreht und weg war ich. Höre sie auch heute noch sehr gerne.
Da bist Du nicht die einzige 😉
Still love it!...Thanks!

Captain Obvious says: They are much much more than a few of their top hits (Deliverance, etc). Those guitars are sick. Very talented band.
