FANTASY
Far across the Caspian sea
Beyond all known reality
Lies a land of fantasy
Where dwell gods and elves, the wild harpy
Forever young, forever strong
Invoked by us in spell and song
Remember what a time we had
Lancelot and Galahad
Save a lass then slay a dragon
Then celebrate with meat and flagon
The air was rich with wizardry
And sirens dwelt below the sea
Far across the Caspian sea
Beyond all known reality
Lies a land of fantasy
Where dwell gods and elves, the wild harpy
They gaze our way, their eyes are leaden
The Gods await their Armageddon
With lost belief their power wanes
They start to feel a mortal pain
Technology is our god now
No need for charms or evil spells
We have a gift most highly prized
The savage is now civilised
Far across the Caspian sea
Beyond all known reality
Lay a land of fantasy
Where dwelled gods and elves, the wild harpy
Gone to graves and gone to dust
Victims of our civil lust |
Romany Tales Part 1
Old woman sits in tumble-down shack
Still got fire in her eyes
Dog at her feet lifts grizzled head
Gone blind but still wise
Electric crackle in darkling air
Shivers my spine
And I feel the cold (so very cold)
It’s too late to run (too late, too late)
By a thousand years
Cross her palm with silver
Old gypsy woman knows
Apocalypse is near
Cross her palm with silver
Then throw your soul away
Old gypsy woman knows
Your soul won’t help
Come judgment day
East grows dark with storm clouds
Fire lights the skies
Laughs old woman
The beast slouches there
But the beast is here too
The beast is you
Dog at her feet lifts grizzled head
And whines
Old woman points her finger
Gnarled like oak, to her breast
Laughs, says she’s not old
Earth is old, and tired, time to rest
So earth can live to die another day |
