lyrics

I stumbled right into a place
that seemed like a magical land.
There were dances and shows
done up with Ribbons and Bows.
But underneath the surface, I said,
"It must be like a circus, oh no."
There were elephants and goats
tied up with strings and with ropes.

And all the men and women, they put on their masks
and they carry on and dance around the fireplace.
And they make their sacrifices and they sing about their vices
while the others just have to sit and wait.

What I saw among the light projectors and the music shakers
was a book of divinity. It was wrapped in scrutiny.
It was like nothing I'd ever seen.
The only way to see it and the only way to read it was to join the festivities,
to wrap yourself in white and green.

And all the men and women, they put on their masks
and they carry on and dance around the fireplace.
And they make their sacrifices and they sing about their vices
while the others just have to sit and wait.

When they saw I wasn't one of them,
they told me right away to go home,
so they led me to the road.
The one that leads to Megiddo.
I asked them why they had to be like that and why the put on that act.
I said, "You don't need a show to walk on the right road."

And all the men and women, they put on their masks
and they carry on and dance around the fireplace.
And they make their sacrifices and they sing about their vices
while the others just have to sit and wait.

As I began to walk away, I turned around to see a scene to been seen.
They took those Ribbons and Bows
and hung a noose around each others' throats.
