king crimson - the court of the crimson king (bbc radio sessions, 1969) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the earth is captive to the moon
some seek the rising sun
i walk the road on wings of change
the game has just begun
the purple piper plays his tune
the choir softly sing
three lullabies in an ancient tongue

[refrain]
for the court of the crimson king, aah
aah, aah

[verse 2]
the burnt+out+ash suburban men
put shutters on the dreams
i wait outside the pilgrim’s door
with insufficient schemes
the black queen chants the funeral march
the cracked brass bells will ring:
to summon back the fire witch

[refrain]
to the court of the crimson king, aah
aah, aah
[instrumental bridge]
aah, aah
aah, aah

[verse 3]
the gardener plants an evergreen
whilst trampling on a flower
i chased the wind of a prism ship
to taste the sweet and sour
the pattern juggler lifts his hand;
the orchestra begin
as sparks fly from the grinding wheel

[refrain]
in the court of the crimson king, aah
aah, aah

[flute solo: “the return of the fire witch”]

[verse 4]
on soft gray mornings widows cry
the wise men share a joke
i run to grasp divining signs
to satisfy the hoax
the yellow jester does not play
but gently pulls the strings
and smiles as the puppets dance
[refrain]
in the court of the crimson king, aah
aah, aah
aah, aah
