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 midnight, ding dong dong dong

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 Marionette o Fantasia
