Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
His eyes force open He begs for them to close again A futile notion That he could ever conquer them He would give anything To sleep and be still for a week He hears the starlings sing Their song as fair as he is bleak In flock the vultures To gnaw and scratch at what is left A twisted culture To mock and scoff at the distressed He wished he still had faith That better days were yet to come Living for cheap escape Cause all the better days had been and gone And what next now for the boy Who sits alone beneath the dying tree Bled dry is all the fruit Not one last drop of nectar to be seen The oak bore sweet delights That kept him warm on lonely nights in filth But now the juice runs dry The branches and the flowers left to wilt What better time, for him to meet the wandering eye A potent weariness, disguised as pleasure; something just and wise And thus, the plot's devised, to make his spirit level rise The poor boy unaware, of his impending grim demise First by the artful leaders, he'll be keenly goaded and chastised Now comes the reverent chanting, these wicked men he'll idolise Then comes the violent drowning, in the mud caked gutter he's baptised And in his rotten core, the fruit he grew to love he'll now despise What's reaped and sown is overgrown Now after rain has fell And o'er the trees my soul had flown Now I can never tell Of wretched lies and tall deceits They claw away at flesh and meat Down every corner, every street They ring the final bell
