Karn Evil 9 1st Impression (part One) Lyrics

Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air

About an age of
power no one had an hour to spare,

Where the seeds have withered, silent
children shivered, in the cold

Now their faces captured in the lenses of
the jackals for gold.

I'll be there

I'll be there

I will be
there.



Suffering in silence, they've all been betrayed.

They
hurt them and they beat them, in a terrible way.

Praying for survival at
the end of the day.

There is no compassion for those who stay.

I'll
be there

I'll be there

I will be there



There must be
someone who can set them free:

To take thier sorrow from this odysey

To help the helpless and the refugee

To protect what's left of
humanity.

Can't you see

Can't you see

Can't you see.



I'll be there

I'll be there

I will be there;

To
heal their sorrow

To beg and borrow

Fight tomorrow.



Step inside! Hello! We've a most amazing show

You'll enjoy it all we
know

Step inside! Step inside!



We've got thrills and shocks,
supersonic fighting cocks.

Leave your hammers at the box

Come
inside! Come inside!

Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!

See the show!



Left behind the bars, rows of Bishop's heads in jars

and a bomb
inside a car

Spectacular! Spectacular!



If you follow me
there's a speciality

some tears for you to see

Misery, misery,

Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!

See the show!



Next upon the
bill in our House of Vaudeville

We've a stripper in a till

What a
thrill! What a thrill!

And not content with that, with our hands behind
our backs, 

We pull Jesus from a hat,

Get into that! Get into tha
