lyrics

Embers

Once upon a time the pearly sun fell on my face
And childhood sounded free with chimes and bells.
Little did I know that I was meant to be a slave
And subjected just like everybody else.
Until that dismal day that dreary stranger came to me
And meant it was required to grow up,
He said ‘Boy, you see, we run this very odd machinery,
In which I need you to become a cog.’

Turning, turning,
Spin the world higher and higher.
Burning, burning,
Burn like embers drawn from the fire.

Hush! And you can hear the woodworks creaking
Under the heavy load of lousy plush decor.
Hush! And you can hear the puppets squeaking
In neon harmonies and songs of evermore.
But work! And you shall hear the coins a-dripping,
A soothing tinkle, sonic balm on your wounds.
Work! And you shall plent’ly be a-sipping
From brimless crystal, flowering with boons.

Turning, turning,
Spin the world higher and higher.
Burning, burning,
Burn like embers drawn from the fire.

Is it not cruel to send the unsuspect adolescent
On a ravaging crusade against himself?
Is it not misery? A constant state of bigotry?
Gradually becoming someone – someone else?

Turning, turning,
Spin the world higher and higher and higher and higher.
Burning, burning,
Burn like embers drawn from the fire.
