| Though the skies are gray The sun shines through the gate So they both walk away From the school full of hate As the feline blew The children flew And now in the tower The birds rondevue In the middle of the night They met someone new For the day was too bright It wouldn't do, wouldn't do He looked like a frog But had the stature of a man Into the fire he threw a log And cooked some fish in a pan Over the bridge And through the snow And down into a crevice Of stone we go To the north! she cried, Without a minute to wait For we'll be locked outside If we arrive too late And bother these channels Of dead end paths There's nothing like a house With soft beds and hot baths Enjoying wine from a thimble And the wrong kind of stag Put a knife to your throat And try not to gag For the cookery book Has a horrid recipe With our own flesh and blood As a delicacy The terrified visitors plan their route Easily in but not easily out Through the kitchen we'll escape The ruined city we'll go under For we'll be eaten by these giants if we stay I shouldn't wonder Into the dark we fall away While getting beaten all along With only one thing left to say: "My tinder box has gone" Descending deep into the earth Where the sun will never shine Only a drowsy greenish radiance A gloomy light of lime Thinking back upon the lady And the covered up knight She led us right into a trap And tried to kill us out of spite Dressed up in full armor And yet quiet as a mute Though he rode upon a horse Was there a man inside that suit? Yet in his castle he went crazy Like a man gone insane He ranted and he raved But then he called upon the name He foamed at the mouth He huffed and he puffed Dare we untie him Lest the fourth sign be muffed? They risked their lives indeed As they each cut a cord In the moment he was freed He went straight for his sword After ten long years of the enchanted prison The chair is now broken And the son is risen Speaking up for the truth Is such a struggle and a fight It takes up all your energy Though you know you're in the right The reality up above Seems faded and unclear Deception brings on slumber In the thickening atmosphere So put your foot to the fire And clear away the smoke Put your sword to the serpent And then slit her throat Forsake and forget about The world where darkness rules Where there's chaos and confusion And pig faced ghouls Come out of that cave Into the light where you can see Unto the Lord and King All creation bows the knee As the feline blew The background flew And lying underwater A friend I once knew Into the river we all die And before sinking into the mud We're raised to new life By the power of His blood May this double-edged truth Make wise the fool May Heaven's armies advance and reform our school |
