The Clown Warrior
Fairy fires in the Woods
beckon me into the Night
What is left is not to give -
what is felt is not delight
They turn me to a Rabbit then
pull me from a hat of Madness
To stay is to be torn apart
to return is to dwell in sadness
(pre-chorus)
Divided this old Soul will die!
I cannot live a lie
(chorus)
I wanna build a Sky
so big there's no end in sight
an Ocean of Ghosts with
some World's inside
I shoulda made it right
but I sat and gobbled the whole damn pie
Incinerating the dirt that
we're supposed to ride
Both my hands and my tongue tied
A Clown subdued by spite
Goblins in the cupboards knocking
knocking knocking through the night
Old men gather - plotting mischief
faces torn by Firelight
The Doomed Procession marches on
on and on - hungry - yearning
The Great Beast looms - booming down
while Poorfolks talley meager earnings
(pre-chorus & chorus)
Flibbertigibbet
Slubberdegullion
Tatterdemalion
Hoodwinking Rapscallion
Behind this Bad Dream's curtain
You feast upon our heads
Our voices shrill with hurting
Our eye's whites shrieking reds
This is the Land
This is the Land
This is the Land
This is the Land of the Dead!
Oh god!
Oh shit!
Oh fuck!
I will not live in dread!
(chorus)
