Let me tell you now what's goin' down bad blood to blame 'bout the scum taking over this town the hunger fear and shame the forest trees were black as night and tall and spread about and in our house by the side of the moon we could hear them shout To a play of trumps came you and I when eternity was youth the king and queen were set aside and branded with the truth the wind blew through the trees that night the clouds raced past the moon and things we said in the heat of the fight gonna tear our still house down You want to run you want to hide hide away in the sheath of the night step out now while the sun still shines step out now into the light Give me a mask to hide my eyes a cloak to hide my shame time will heal these walls conceal my absence from the game the forest trees were black as night and tall and spread about and in our house by the side of the moon we began to shout You want to run you want to hide hide away in the sheath of the night step out now while the sun still shines step out now into the light
