Song | Behold The Ziddle |
Artist | Glass hammer |
Album | If |
The way you must find | |
So you stop to read the signs | |
Don’t be alarmed by the riddles | |
It’s just the language of the middle | |
Let the locusts fly | |
Let the fires rise | |
Pay no heed to the glaring, mischievous eyes | |
Silently calling | |
Afraid of falling | |
And never looking round | |
Uncertain backing | |
Clearly lacking | |
And drowning in the sound | |
See the man with the grinning face that never smiles | |
He’s been watching you back all the while | |
And thinking thoughts that are just a little sideways | |
Here comes the parade | |
In torrential rain, | |
Just to soothe the commoners | |
The possessed and insane | |
Their stomachs are gnawing | |
They’re ready for clawing | |
If I linger long | |
I’ll be butcher’s bait | |
In the Ziddle’s hands | |
Is your fate! | |
What a feature | |
This odd little creature | |
Whose efforts appear so vain | |
There’s things he can’t find | |
Inside of his mind | |
That used to make him sane | |
He has a three-sided dance that’s all the rage | |
It looks like it’s in reverse | |
But that’s just because | |
You can’t see things from his perspective | |
Through a wintry scene I flee | |
A murky hollow looms ahead of me | |
Down I slip and tumble | |
Torn and bruised I lay humble | |
Am I lost forevermore | |
In this dark world | |
Now I only walk the lonely way | |
Where all is sadness | |
How dearly I’d love to pray | |
Yet all is madness | |
But I’m realizing I’ve walk this road before | |
Could it be I’m only dreaming | |
And nothing more | |
And if this is indeed merely a nightmare | |
Then I’m the sole creator of the Ziddle’s lair | |
Thus will I end his evil world | |
And a sure pathway home I will unfurl | |
Down, down, down | |
That dark road I went just to see | |
Just to see | |
Down, down that dark road | |
I’ve ceased to be me | |
Yet a light I can see | |
It’s growing close | |
Searching for me | |
How I long to be free | |
Free at last! | |
Good morning sunshine! |
