INTRO -------------------------------------------- Child swings in rocking chair, silent and lone He whispers, swimming deep in thought But his fervour is long gone By many griefs his mind is wrought VERSE 1 -------------------------------------------- What was it, I saw Dwelling in his insides Waving in countless loops Devouring his darkened skies PRE-CHORUS -------------------------------------------- This head's the gift of love This head's the spring of youth This head's the charm of death All life's worthless, so tell me God why CHORUS -------------------------------------------- It's the three-headed snake One - resignation, two - despair Glance at the third, I could not take Just the idea terrified me VERSE 2 -------------------------------------------- The first said you cannot save Nor be able to do so Grab yourself a beer and rest You're a pitiful scarecrow PRE-CHORUS -------------------------------------------- This head's the gift of love This head's the spring of youth This head's the charm of death All life's worthless, so tell me God why CHORUS -------------------------------------------- It's the three-headed snake One - resignation, two - despair Glance at the third, I could not take Just the idea terrified me -----------------BRIDGE/SOLO----------------- VERSE 3 -------------------------------------------- And the second one cried Can't stand it anymore With no meaning and light It wailed in vain and died VERSE 4 -------------------------------------------- And the third one disgorged Relaxing, hollow sound Memories were summoned By shadows on the ground PRE-CHORUS -------------------------------------------- This head's the gift of love This head's the spring of youth This head's the charm of death All life's worthless, so tell me God why CHORUS -------------------------------------------- It's the three-headed snake One - resignation, two - despair Glance at the third, I could not take Just the idea terrified me OUTRO -------------------------------------------- Child now turned into man His thoughts were still Aeons ahead of age When God fades away, there's free will When God fades away You follow the freezing moon With great relief
