King Crimson - b) Bolero – The Peacock's Tale lyrics

A: Prince Rupert Awakes Farewell the temple master's bells His kiosk and his black worm seed Courtship solely of his word With Eden guaranteed For now Prince Rupert's tears of gla** Make saffron sabbath eyelids bleed Scar the sacred tablet wax On which the Lizards feed Wake your reason's hollow vote Wear your blizzard season coat Burn a bridge and burn a boat Stake a Lizard by the throat Go Polonius or kneel The reapers name their harvest dawn All your tarnished devil's spoons Will rust beneath our corn Now bears Prince Rupert's garden roam Across his rain tree shaded lawn Lizard bones become the clay And there a swan is born Wake your reason's hollow vote Wear your blizzard season coat Burn a bridge and burn a boat Stake a Lizard by the throat Gone soon Piepowder's moss-weed court Round which upholstered Lizards sold Visions to their leaden flock Of rainbows' ends and gold Now tales Prince Rupert's peaco*k brings Of walls and trumpets thousand fold Prophets chained for burning masks And reels of dreams unrolled... B: Bolero - The Peaco*k's Tale (instrumental) C: The Battle of Gla** Tears i) Dawn Song Night enfolds her cloak of holes Around the river meadow Old moon-light stalks by broken ploughs Hides spokeless wheels in shadow Sentries lean on thorn wood spears Blow on their hands, stare eastwards Burnt with dream and taut with fear Dawn's misty shawl upon them Three hills apart great armies stir Spit oat and curse as day breaks Forming lines of horse and steel By even yards march forward ii) Last Skirmish (instrumental) iii) Prince Rupert's Lament (instrumental) D: Big Top (instrumental)
