earth opera - the american eagle tragedy lyrics

Loading...

[instrumental intro]

and call out the border guard
the kingdom is crumbling
the king is in the counting house
laughing and stumbling
his armies are extending
way beyond the sh0r-
as he sends our lovely boys to die
in a foreign jungle war

the queen is in the garden
moaning and weeping
she spied the execution of spades
while he lay sleeping
the kingdom judge and jester
leaped together from the tower
lie still as fallen statues
in the cultivated bower, bower

and call out the border guard
the kingdom is crumbling
the king is in the counting house
laughing and stumbling
his armies are extending
way beyond the sh0r-
as he sends our lovely boys to die
in a foreign jungle war

the orchestra -ssembles
and tries in vain to tune
while outside in the stableyard
the hounds are howling at the moon
a blind man in the far off jungle
his bamble hurt in flames
sits and whispers to his flute
all the unremembered names

and call out the border guard
the kingdom is crumbling
the king is in the counting house
laughing and stumbling
his armies are extending
way beyond the sh0r-
as he sends our lovely boys to die
in a foreign jungle war

the scarlet cloaked and white horsed huntsman
rides upon the meadow green
his silver arrow scars the sky
and i can hear the eagle scream
the peasants watch in dumb struck wonder
the g-y procession p-ssed them by
the victory silence is consuming me
and we’ve at last the eagle’s cry

[drum solo]

and call out the border guard
the kingdom is crumbling
the king is in the counting house
laughing and stumbling
his armies are extending
way beyond the sh0r-
as he sends our lovely boys to die
as we send our lovely boys to die
as you send our lovely boys to die
in a foreign jungle war

why people, i can’t stand it anymore!
i, i, i, i, i can’t stand it anymore!
i can’t stand it!

i god!
oh god! oh god! oh god! oh god!
where is that place?

bye bye bye bye bye bye
die die die die die die
bye bye bye bye bye bye
die die die die die die
oh no! oh no! oh no!

stop the war!
stop the war!
oh please! stop!
