In the Court lyrics
  • The dance of the puppets The rusted chains of
    prison moons Are shattered by the sun. I walk a
    road, horizons change The tournament's
    begun. The purple piper plays his tune, The
    choir softly sing Three lullabies in an ancient
    tongue, For the court of the crimson king. The
    keeper of the city keys Put shutters on the
    dreams. I wait outside the pilgrim's door With
    insufficient schemes. The black queen
    chants The funeral march, The cracked brass
    bells will ring To summon back the fire
    witch To the court of the crimson king. 
  • The gardener plants an evergreen Whilst
    trampling on a flower. I chase the wind of a
    prism ship To taste the sweet and sour. The
    pattern juggler lifts his hand The orchestra
    begin. As slowly turns the grinding wheel In
    the court of the crimson king. On soft gray
    mornings widows cry The wise men share a
    joke I run to grasp divining signs To satisfy
    the hoax. The yellow jester does not play But
    gently pulls the strings And smiles as the
    puppets dance In the court of the crimson king.
