Marionette
Fantasia
~music: GC's Marionette Fantasia
As the light
emits a lowly faint glow
I place my
cheek to the wall that is cold
Turning
careful ear the silence I hear
Without sound
and without haste
My steps I
retrace
There's no tock(talk) to mark the passing time
Only footsteps
echo clearly in rhyme
And the melancholy
pendulum swings, but
There's a
chance and time will tell
With peals of
the bells
Circling round
with my right arm
Though it's
wounded there's no great harm
In revolving
my mem'ries of you, my love
Searching
onward for my saber, I wander
(Refrain)
At
Shadows knock
on the door
My own heart
was torn
By a lone
yearning voice
In the shining
moonlight
Fourteen eyes
were bright
To and fro,
the puppeteer oh- shows he's selfish
Look, ti ta ta
ta
Those needles
of glass
One by one
they do mark
When the twelfth
hour shall pass
Into a holy
night
Seven shadows
arrive to
Stretch their
hands to their owners
Puppets so
weak
(interlude)
Oh those
teardrops they fall and fall
In the heart
of an open palm
See how those
tears can breathe back warmth into you
Foretelling
the time that??ll pass through
(Refrain)
To the forest,
ri ra
ra ra
Go knock on
the door
Countless
prayers that I can not hear anymore
As the strong
wind dies down
Painful cries
all around
Stumbling on
unsteadily
I run on and
on
Ah- din da da da
Like clockwork
it goes
When a young
owl hooted
I flew from
the dark
The sound of
the bell that signals the end
For some
reason painful longings does it send
La la la
Onward
towards that child
We are so much
alike
As I reach out
my hand
My thoughts go
to you
Crossing over
to reach that brink between worlds
Ah
Do you know a
timber that's faint
Can hold
brilliant light
As it is
hidden tight
In the depths
of my soul
My dearly
beloved
Just smiles
before my eyes
Sure it's just
a marionette fantasia
Oh la la la la
In this wide
world of ours
All our dreams
make a hollow Eutopia
When the hard
walnut shell fin'lly does crack open
Suddenly this
whole world is washed away
La la la la
