lyrics

Robes like curtains flow
dusted red and gold
a face of scowling stone
to crack the crown upon the throne

Hang another sign
on the church door
let all the peasants know
what these modern times are for

Wooden wheels that spin
on a monarch's time

Blue tears fell from the eyes
of all those at the funeral
the crowd all danced on ashes
the crowd all breathed in ash

The laughter cuts a path
through the foggy morning air
and rises high above
the vaulted castle walls

Wooden wheels that spin
on a monarch's time

They all called out for his head
