Fables Lyrics

Fables lyrics

Preparations are well advanced 

Velvet palls and sweet jasmine smell 

For marriage of heaven and hell 

Vipers shed at once the skin 

Now wicked clasps forgive all sins 

Wishing you joy with much regret 

Like a cross round the devil's neck 

Deadly hatred has fallen in love 



The upper crust 

Feed on trust 

And lies to the last 

To wear the crown 

Of kings and clowns 

And always tell new fables 



Still life 

A masquerade to appear 

Worm eaten apple 

Shining like a star 

Beware of 

The forked tongued lambs 

Guardian angels 

Dig your grave by night 



Enchanted by the gloss of silk 

Trust build them a triumphal arch 

While organ dirges their wedding march 

For feathers dancing in the wind 

Apparence is like a dazzling ring 

But as you know roses soon fade 

Even in fables ready made 

Deadly hatred has fallen in love 



The upper crust 

Feed on trust 

And lies to the last 

To wear the crown 

Of kings and clowns 

And always tell new fables 



Still life 

A masquerade to appear 

Worm eaten apple 

Shining like a star 

Beware of 

The forked tongued lambs 

Guardian angels 

Dig your grave by night 



And no wonder if the dumb will not be silent as the grave 

None is so deaf as those that won't hear 

All that glitter is not gold
