Lyrics
Punctured the awning, carried a toll
They say piece of mind, is worth more than gold
So what was the price paid by those who stole,
Ravaged and pillaged, took children from homes
They say I’m mistaken, pardon me if I may,
They say I’m deceptive, that my brains made of clay
Tempered and altered, I’ve been here before
Ravaged and pillaged, been washed to the shore
It’s not me who is wanted, like a doorway I stand,
The keeper of her, the queen of the land,
Provider of love, magic runs through her blood,
She says she sells seashells to cover it up
But something was wrong, couldn’t you see
The air was an anvil that swallowed the breeze
They found our fair maiden, charged in with regret,
We all stood and stared as they demanded her head
But I’ve been here before, I’ve watched I’ve adored
She says she sells seashells, but I’m not so sure
Perhaps when we die, the first thing to say,
Is I’ve been here before, I’ve flowed my grave
She ran as they followed, they kept up the chase
With us just behind, we kept up the pace,
We hid where they wouldn’t find us in a flash,
But even good things, they burn when they crash
Can’t be seen, I can’t help dream,
The thought is null, those evergreens
Can’t be seen, I can’t help dream,
The thought is null, those evergreens
Can’t be seen, I can’t help dream,
The thought is null, those evergreens
Anxiously breathing, the mob came to town,
Followed by all that joined in aloud,
Judge her by the trail of faith and disgrace
They’re screaming and screaming, they’re saying burn at the stake
This witch is not worth it, they caved in her head,
Someone I once called a dear friend,
But I’ve been here before, I’ve watched I’ve adored
She says she sells seashells, but I’m not so sure
Perhaps when we die, the first thing to say,
Is I’ve been here before, I’ve flowed my grave
