Karn Evil 9 lyrics

Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air About an age of power where 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 their sorrow from this odyssey 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 the 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 bishops 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 that Roll up, roll up, roll up See the show Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends We're so glad you could attend Come inside, come inside There behind a glass is a real blade of grass Be careful as you pass Move along, move along Come inside, the shows about to start Guaranteed to blow your head apart Rest assured you'll get your moneys worth The greatest show in heaven, hell or earth You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll Right before your eyes, we pull laughter from the skies And he laughs until he cries then he dies then he dies Come inside, the show's about to start Guaranteed to blow your head apart You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll Soon the gypsy queen in a glaze of Vaseline Will perform on guillotine What a scene, what a scene Next upon the stand, will you please extend a hand To Alexanders ragtime band Dixie land, Dixie land Roll up, roll up, roll up See the show Performing on a stool, we've a sight to make you drool Seven virgins and a mule Keep it cool, keep it cool We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown We're exclusively our own All our own, all our own Come and see the show Come and see the show Come and see the show See the show Man alone, born of stone Will stamp the dust of time His hands strike the flame of his soul Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the universe Until the winds of laughter blows cold Fear that rattles in men's ears And rears its hideous head Dread, death in the wind Man of steel pray and kneel With fever's blazing torch Thrust in the face of the night Draws a blade of compassion Kissed by countless kings Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight Walls that no man thought would fall The altars of the just Crushed dust in the wind No man yields who flies in my ship Danger Let the bridge computer speak Stranger Load your program, I am yourself No computer stands in my way Only blood can cancel my pain Guardians of a new clear dawn Let the maps of war be drawn Rejoice, glory is ours Our young men have not died in vain Their graves need no flowers The tapes have recorded their names I am all there is Negative, primitive, limited, I let you live But I gave you life What else could you do? To do what was right I'm perfect, are you?
