a ritual mask - peter hammill lyrics
a ritual mask
upon the wall
furnishes his surroundings
and he thinks that’s all
the ritual mask
its power still strong
a memento of his travels
that he got for a song
he got it for a song
he got it for a song
it was the song of the centuries undisturbed
it was the song of secrets and power words;
it was the song of a culture not grown immune
to the virus of progress
to the theft of the tune
the ritual mask
the evil eye
inhabits his apartment
inhabits his mind
with a song of vengeance
with a song of a debt repaid
with a song of justice
with a song of a hand unstayed
with a song of a culture as old as the hills…
that sits uneasy on the living-room wall
like a snake about to k!ll
the ritual mask
it won’t take long
before he finds out the bargain
has turned out dreadfully wrong
oh, he got it for a song
