Transatlantic Zodiac Ensemble - The Broken Sermon

day one of one ol' day

the scene was set sans warning

the first act of a one act play

start filling up the canvas

with the weather of your heart

conjure up your magic

and we'll tear the world apart

all of our old endings

are drifting out to sea

come gather up some canvas

and begin here now with me

we'll listen to the sermon

from the end right to the start

of the acopolypto prophet

speaking through a broken heart

a tale of war and sorrow

a tale of torture in the hills

a million types of sadness

a million types of pills

beginning with the ending

an ending where we're all old

circling the sadness

with the wretchedness of soul

we'll listen to the sermon

walking home from the parade

of all the loonys and their mothers

enslaving children in the shade

while all the unemployed angels

with nothing up their sleeve

are trading hope for anesthesia

with the loonys on t.v.

we're fading into ghosts now

with the moments passing by

unless the moment we are holding

in a moment we will die

all the gods and all the unicorns

have left us in a dream

washing dirt off all the heartache

washing dirt off the machine

so i'll pack my bags; we're leaving

I can see it in your eye

we've no need for fool directions

because on us their are no flies

we'll listen to the sermon

then we'll tear it all apart

a concert of your magic

of the madness of your heart

we'll send our broken poet

drifting out to sea

we'll divy up his broken heart

a piece each for you and me

we'll send a piece to all our friends

made of the toughest stuff

who bathe the world in laughter

and rinse it off with love

we'll throw the grandest party

for to this broken heart cajole

and engrave the broken sermon

on the rainbow of the soul.
