King Crimson - Prince Rupert Awakes Lyrics
A:prince Rupert Awakes
Farewell The Temple Master`s Bells
His Kiosk And His Black Worm Seed
Courtship Solely Of His Word
With Eden Guaranteed.
For Now Prince Rupert`s Tears Of Glass
Make Saffron Sabbath Eyelids Bleed
Scar The Sacred Tablet Of Wax
On Which The Lizards Feed.
Wake Your Reason`s Hollow Vote
Wear Your Blizzard Season Coat
Burn A Bridge And Burn A Boat
Stake A Lizard By The Throat.
Go Polonius Or Kneel
The Reapers Name Their Harvest Dawn
All Your Tarnished Devil`s Spoons
Will Rust Beneath Our Corn.
Now Bears Prince Rupert`s Garden Roam
Across His Rain Tree Shaded Lawn
Lizard Bones Become The Clay-
And There A Swan Is Born
Wake Your Reasons` Hollow Vote
Wear Your Blizzard Season Coat
Burn A Bridge And Burn A Boat
Stake A Lizard By The Throat.
Gone Soon Piepowder`s Moss-weed Court
Round Which Upholstered Lizards Sold
Visions To Their Leaden Flock
Of Rainbows` Ends And Gold.
Now Tales Prince Rupert`s Peacock Brings
Of Walls And Trumpets Thousand Fold
Prophets Chained For Burning Masks
And Reels Of Dream Unrolled . . .
B:bolero - The Peacock`s Tale (instrumental)
C:the Battle Of Glass Tears
Night Enfolds Her Cloak Of Holes
Around The River Meadow.
Old Moon-light Stalks By Broken Ploughs
Hides Spokeless Wheels In Shadow.
Sentries Lean On Thorn Wood Spears
Blow On Their Hands, Stare Eastwards.
Burnt With Dream And Taut With Fear
Dawn`s Misty Shawl Upon Them.
Three Hills Apart Great Armies Stir
Spit Oat And Curse As Day Breaks.
Forming Lines Of Horse And Steel
By Even Yards March Forward.
D:big Top (instrumental)
