A Lone Boat - Lost in the Rose Garden at Dusk (Intro)

My mind is gone away
It's hiding from the dark
Took my favourite pills today
They weren't enough

Cause heartache comes at such a cost
When your heart's already broken
And mind-break comes with such a cost
When your mind's already broken

Good evening ladies and gentlemen
I am the conductor
And I will be your speaker for the evening
So, have you all got your tickets
Good, let's get serious here for a moment folks

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today in the name of art and poetry
I am gathered here today in the name of death and desolation
For truly, it is within the unbeauty of the world
That we find the beauty of it
Sadness only amplifies joy
Light is only light in contrast
Now, say again the prayer with me

May the fire cleanse us the unholy rabble
Drench us in the eternal flame that we again may feel
The raging fire of life coursing through our veins
Burn all our darkness to ash
And let the light shine in our eyes
Like it shone in those before us
Give us the strength to persevere oh Lennon, Hendrix, Joplin and King
In the light of political upheaval and horrors beyond imagining
Burn our enemies for they are wrong
And light our sword ablaze for we are right
Ahem

There's blood in
I know
The rose garden
I'm lost
But no one seems to know
Hold me closer

There's mould in
I know
The ceiling
I'm lost
There's ash in the snow
Kiss my shoulder

There's blood in
I know
The rose garden
I'm lost
But no one seems to know
You're not supposed to

There's mould in
I know
The ceiling
I'm lost
There's ash in the snow
I'll make an exception tonight
