David Bridie - The Last Great Magician lyrics

rate me

The Last Great Magician waves his final sparkler

Seven times seven times into the grave

Neath cracks of sheet lightning, the red sky rolls

Forever,

The family and followers all gather around

Calm down your troubles, lay down with me

Mulukuwausi, good witch of the sea

The dead man's last party, loud stories and ceremony

They dance on his embers, they drink to his soul

It's delightful, disgraceful, exhibition of reverence

Seven times seven times into the grave

His feet soft and dusty, fine spasms of dancing,

By the wide man with red eyes, teeth crooked as match

Sticks

And he mightn't look much but he's as wise as the lizard,

The owl and the fire
