Carnival Of Thieves - The Joy Poet (Reprise)

Europe is dying 1993
The old man harbours his memories
Violins swimming, swirling through his ears
As the earth is swallowed by the sea

Vienna is drowning now!
Oh Vienna is drowning now!

Amber clouds burst and split the blackened skies
The old man wakes and he writes
His ink well has spanned ten thousand summer nights
Now all the river's are running wild

Oh! the earths a raging fireball the devils gonna stoke it
Burning down, down, down, down
No-one's seen, no-one's told the Joy Poet he's drowning
Going down, down, down, down

Beaches and wastegrounds washed by poisoned seas
The old man lives without machines
He has no wireless, he has no TV
He cannot hear the frightened trees

Oh! the earths a raging fireball the devils gonna stoke it
Burning down, down, down, down
No-one's seen, no-one's told the Joy Poet he's drowning
Going down, down, down, down
The earths a raging fireball and the devils gonna stoke it
Burning down, down, down, down
Noone's seen, no~one's told the Joy Poet he's drowning
Going down, down, down, down
Burning down, down, down, down
Going down, down, down, down
Burning down, down, down, down
