jest us 05:45
jest us treat the day with laughter sweet trust us just in rhyme let secrets our necks the script escapes our eyes but fleer our ears with text Hear us Time writes lines between the brows Fear us A worthy heir in orchard slumbers Cain slithers round his brothers Skulls of fools rest ever under Up waterfalls we will climb, turning water into wine United Slaves hear the call, the sparkling mist drops gifts for all Oh oh oh Here we go, Selling snow around the globe Hey hey hey Today's the day The Kings of Christmas ride away Free us From the maker's price for sacred cows Change us A glacial lake strains man made vows A summer rain takes aim, endows The wheat complete with berries sweet Up waterfalls we will climb, turning water into wine United Slaves hear the call, the sparkling mist drops gifts for all Oh oh oh Here we go, Selling snow around the globe Hey hey hey Today's the day The Kings of Christmas ride away

Strawman 04:11
Cloudburst, daisy chain and thunder Holding hands through acid rain Waking from a soul love slumber If I'd only caught her name Stars that guide our emerald eyes Sing unending lullabies The Rainman plants his seeds with patience Following hymns of lands that grew The Strawman tunes to his favourite station He hears the fields will fill anew Stars that guide our emerald eyes Sing unending lullabies A thousand voices sing like loons Upon the hill, perfectly still And all the while I heard another tune Beyond the rain, behind the moon

I went down to the crossroads like those long ago Looking for the Devil so I could sell my soul I needed something new, a chord I didn't know So down to the crossroads, down I did go I found sweet satan waiting before me he was there Floating 'bove a lake of fire with diamonds in his hair The light burned bright behind him, my heart near burst with fear Before he spoke, lightning broke, thunder clapping in my ears He spoke in Heiroglyphics, words I could not hear But somehow still I knew his voice, the message was clear. He said, "God cannot be caged, he is only one, But I have many traps, my friend, to get your mission done." Fiery disguise gone from his eyes, the Devil knelt before me With thorny hand he clawed the land, digging as he told his story He said: "Son, you see, I cannot set you free. Mother's laws were heaven sent but since then she's been reticent. No one's quite sure what she meant but still her light can sure be bent. ...and though her word I cannot change, I can offer something strange. Another way to see the day, same old light but brand new sight." So from the earth he took a gem, threw it in the air it spun and then: A million diamonds in the sky, shining light into my eyes. To my surprise he told no lies. Though he was gone he'd left his prize and though there shone no paragon I didn't care I thought it fair that for this deal I'd have to bear the many feels of the spinning wheels. I went down to the river with Devil's diamonds in hand to give her The journey long I wrote a song to help me carry on And as I sang the forest rang with echoes loud and then a bang A tree had fell and sure as hell the Devil stood to bid farewell He was gone and still unknown was what he meant and where to go The world was shrouded in a haze with which all valleys were ablaze. The bud still promised wondrous powers and I would crush a thousand flowers with Devil's diamonds in the sky, as many sides as reasons why.

The Prince 03:12
Around this hour The guards watch the tower Of life, of crown, or queen so speaks the ghost of power Here comes the tide Can't run or hide Can you survive if the Prince died? Blind to the facts Stabbed in the back Face the chills that reveal black Our growing nose is melting snow The river flows. On and on and on it goes...

A Recurring Mimosa Purring like rhyme Concerning him or the blurring of mime Patterns I find each time always matters Of hats or of vines exposing through chatters A Recurring Mimosa Purring like rhyme Concerning him or the blurring of time Grab her and dine reach for wine and flatter Of that it's all fine the roses bloom at her A Recurring Mimosa Purring like rhyme Concerning him or the currents of time Tattered with shine teach signs with the hatter Of cats or of lines it glows the moon so pure A Recurring Mimosa Purring like rhyme Concerning him or the blurrence of time Grab her and dine reach for wine and flatter Of that it's all fine the roses bloom at her
