Chanting psalms for a doomed youth
An artificial portrait of its solid truths
Tired soldiers before the fight
Weak and weary before the time
Standing confused with no words to say
Dust in hands but here to stay
No relief, here's a torch consumed
A procession for a dream exhumed
A silent march, O anesthesia
Without shock, in amnesia
Lucid in blindness, ignorance will dwell
Voluntarily numb but here to stay
Exhort me to comprehend
As I behold, no chance to apprehend
Dances go on as midnight rings
In the courts of the Sluggard King
Before the dawn of a new day
Under the moon listen to freedom's bays
Don't you know what has to come?
Don't you know what it shall bring forth?
The reaping season shall bring no surprise
Out of the instant to realise
Exhort me to comprehend
As I behold, no chance to apprehend
Dances go on as midnight rings
In the courts of the Sluggard King
The reaping season shall bring no surprise
Out of the instant to realise
There's no time for such a foolish thing
Dwelling in the courts of the Sluggard King
