The Flower Kings
Deaf, Numb & Blind
Opened the door, let me into the secret garden
I wanted more, craving gold, always pushing harder
Learn how to fear the God of mine, I'm still king and fashion
Teaching how the spiral goes, now you must follow now
You must walk my way

Opened your shrine, let me spin a while in your hurricane
I needed pain, I needed torments and the burning anger
Learn how to fear the nuclear bomb, hear the dogs of war
Teaching how the madness must run, you will enter now
Or bе damned forever

Opеned your heart, and with love you gave me some grains of wisdom
I was blind, out of touch and into the games of power

Gone the spirit, gone the gold
Gone the justice, so we're told
Gone the hunters, gone the Gods
Gone the spieces, gone the blood

Down the colours, down the peace
Down the beauty, down the trees
Down the horses, down the ride
Kneel before the Nuclear Tribe

There's so much that we could have learned
And still we let the forest burn
There's so much forgotten now
Seems no one will listen anyhow
Up the gamblers, up the greed
Up the bussiness, up the weeds
Up the posion, up the pipes
Up the chimneys, down the skies

Gone the teachers, gone the tales
Gone the trading, up the sales
Gone the laughter, gone the play
Gone the wisdom, so they say

There's so much that we could have learned
And still we let the forest burn
There's so much forgotten now
Seems no one listen anyhow

There's so much beauty lost
The gold turned green in the morning dust
In the corners of your mind
Still some sense left of the past

Learn how to rebuild Babylon
Where the whores will drain our blood
Where the giant mushrooms grow
Where the truth is left untold
Where the raven rip your soul
Where the posion rivers run
Where the deadly game is gold
But the dead don't dance
