the court of the crimson king [live in toronto] - king crimson lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the rusted chains of prison moons
are shattered by the sun
i walk a road, horizons change
the tournament’s begun
the purple piper plays his tune
the choir softly sing
three lullabies in an ancient tongue

[refrain]
for the court of the crimson king, aah
aah, aah

[verse 2]
the keeper of the city keys
put shutters on the dreams
i wait outside the pilgrim’s door
with insufficient schemes
the black queen chants the funeral march
the cracked brass bells will ring
to summon back the fire witch

[refrain]
to the court of the crimson king, aah
aah, aah
[instrumental bridge]
aah, aah
aah, aah

[verse 3]
the gardener plants an evergreen
whilst trampling on a flower
i chase the wind of a prism ship
to taste the sweet and sour
the pattern juggler lifts his hand
the orchestra begin
as slowly turns the grinding wheel

[refrain]
in the court of the crimson king, aah
aah, aah

[flute solo: “the return of the fire witch”]

[verse 4]
on soft gray mornings widows cry
the wise men share a joke
i run to grasp divining signs
to satisfy the hoax
the yellow jester does not play
but gently pulls the strings
and smiles as the puppets dance
[refrain]
in the court of the crimson king, aah
aah, aah
aah, aah

[instrumental outro: “the dance of the puppets”]
