The Night Was Glass Dropped And Shattered by Nicholas Ridout
Lyrics:
I raised up my hands
Walked out the door
Vulture on my shoulder
I turned up my nose
They blast holes in my clothes
All I wanted was to hold her
You were a peasant
And I was a slave
And nobody was a budgin'
I wait for the sunlight
To brighten my day
But the clouds around me were black and bloodied
I shot the night
They put up no fight
But the idiot, he was cunning
He had planted my feet
In wet concrete
There was no way I was running
I was a slave
And you were a king
And the vulture was a droolin'
If I had the gold
I'd pay for that thing
To move along or get feeding
Well I closed tight my eyes
Relaxed my hands
In my heart there was a burning
And a dark figure
With a sober stance
And a rope that was a swingin'
Well I was a slave
To the bell and it's ring
And it bade me climb that ladder
I heard the angles
One thousand voices sing
"Pretty soon, nothin' else will matter..."
And it broke and I awoke
From a violent dream
To the sounds of sickening laughter
You were a peasant
And I was a slave
The night was glass dropped and shattered
You were a peasant
And I was a slave
The night was glass dropped and shattered
