lyrics

The king got in the middle between God and the Devil
No one was left in the court guarding the yard
While the important decisions were taken by sorcerers warned by the inscrutable fire

The king felt that something had gone to his head
And has no intention to leave

He set sails and left, the hold full of diamonds
And liquors and precious wine he had set aside
But all the gifts that a donor can bring won’t make up for the guilt he had steeping inside

The secrets we hid in the cellar will find their way out and will come back to light
They can sneak into everyone’s dream
Including the ones that belong to who’s in charge for…
Giving orders
Giving orders
Giving orders

Dance!

Alone he did walk in the night through a mire, till he came across a wild wine company
The dancing and drinking was warming the guts but not washing away what he had pinned on himself
So obsessed by the fury of the white-logic hour
He longed for the storm that was coming by shouting out loud:
I am mortal
I am mortal
I am mortal

He was seen in a ditch with some colourful dreams and no worries of not being dry
Damnation can wait when the sovereign’s aim’s to be flattered

Lonely is the night, cold is the dark
Lonesome am I, facing the dawn
