An honourable man picks a slender orchid And crushes it between his hands The sacred knife of a Samurai Serves up Sushi in a sandwich bar A doll that's made in Japan Is made for every man Tigerlily with eyes of jade Takes you to a carnival of toy balloons. See a kite floating by with the face of a Chinese mandarin It's such a different world, it's hard to remember which land you're in I seem to recall a milk white hand Painted with blood red fingernails A tiny girl with empty hands Walks the streets of Tokyo
The idea of Steve Hackett leaving Genesis and having a solo career was I'm sure to the dismay of many Genesis fans because, in my honest opinion, I believe he was a key ingredient to their signature style. Those quirky guitar parts and soaring solos (like in his trademark and highly lauded solo in "Firth Of Fifth" from Genesis' 1973 album "Selling England by the Pound") are without a doubt some of the highlights of progressive rock guitar in the genre's 1970s heyday. Anyway, that's enough background for now. "Voyage of the Acolyte" is considered by many to be a 'lost' Genesis album. I only partly agree with this as I think this album has more of Hackett's stamp on it than Genesis'. From the very beginning, we launch into "Ace of Wands," which is an uptempo piece and goes through a myriad of moods and styles before finally deciding where to end up. I don't mean this in a negative way of course.
