CHIME THE DAY

Sol Invictus / Wakeford

Chime the day, Chime the night.
Those that hide, those that fight.
Shroud the day, light the night
Praise the wrong and curse the right.
Fields of green, Fields of dust.
Swords of steel, to bloody rust.
Those betrayed are those that trust.
What to do? What we must!

Chime the day, Chime the night.

Chime the day, Chime the night.

Hear the lies of a cold state
Breed us all as carrion bate
Move the figures on the board
See the puppets see the cord
Is their hope, I see none.
The race that’s lost cannot be won.
Ride the wolf; it bares its teeth,
Pick the flower, lay the reef.

Chime the day, Chime the night.

Come The Morning

Come the morning

In the dawning light
Such crimes and stories
Such wondrous sights
The world and all its mad men, tremble and make signs,
The world and all its madman, in a kingdom for the blind
The world and all its madman, scribble endless lists
The world and all its mad man, phantoms in the mist

Come the morning
In the dawning light
Such crimes and stories
Such wondrous sights

The world and all its people, die for dollars and for dimes
The world and all its people, seem a waste of time
The world and all its people, never learn a thing
The world and all its people, all lepers beneath the skin

Come the morning
In the dawning light
Such crimes and stories
Such wondrous sights
