A Hamlet For A Slothful Vassal lyrics
Song information
Artist: Theatre Of Tragedy Album: Der Tanz Der Schatten
Lyrics
Behold a jocund morn indeed! - Sun on high - birds in sky Yonder the whist firth eathing Fro where a gale erranteth
Ye beholdest but the shadow That is a lie! Mayhap a tithe of trothplight - Lief I am not! I deem - e'er and anon! My words are but a twist Tis a feigned lie through loathing I say! To and fro, save hither Is thy love A dotard gaffer, I daresay.. Not a loth! - But vying for my kinsmen! ...A sapling not! Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical! Dove-feathered raven! Wolvish-ravening lamb! A hamlet for a slothful vassal - Soothing ale for a parched sot Hie to tell me What ye judgest as naught; I behold the shadow! Wherefore call me such names; Nay imp am i! Thou art my aghast hart - Grazing in the glade
E'er thou sayest aye! That is a lie! Thief of a plot! Lief I am not! Now go to thy tryst! My words are but a twist! Go, leave, totter! Fare well! - with joy I came Until ye dwindlest With rue I leave A morsel, nay more Even the orb cannot For thy journey Help me melt the ice?! Hither and thither!
