Children of Men movie - The Court Of The Crimson (King Edit) lyrics

rate me

Song by King Crimson<br /><br>

The dance of the puppets<br>

The rusted chains of prison moons<br>

Are shattered by the sun.<br>

I walk a road, horizons change<br>

The tournaments begun.<br>

The purple piper plays his tune,<br>

The choir softly sing;<br>

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue,<br>

For the court of the crimson king.<br>

<br>

The keeper of the city keys<br>

Put shutters on the dreams.<br>

I wait outside the pilgrims door<br>

With insufficient schemes.<br>

The black queen chants<br>

The funeral march,<br>

The cracked brass bells will ring;<br>

To summon back the fire witch<br>

To the court of the crimson king.<br>

<br>

The gardener plants an evergreen<br>

Whilst trampling on a flower.<br>

I chase the wind of a prism ship<br>

To taste the sweet and sour.<br>

The pattern juggler lifts his hand;<br>

The orchestra begin.<br>

As slowly turns the grinding wheel<br>

In the court of the crimson king.<br>

<br>

On soft gray mornings widows cry<br>

The wise men share a joke;<br>

I run to grasp divining signs<br>

To satisfy the hoax.<br>

The yellow jester does not play<br>

But gentle pulls the strings<br>

And smiles as the puppets dance<br>

In the court of the crimson king.<br>

<br>
