"The Royal Scam Lyrics"
Death Magik For Adepts Lyrics
Come distortured artists Bitter things seek meaning Even if they're madness to behold Once forbears to horizons Where
Come distortured artists Bitter things seek meaning Even if they're madness to behold Once forbears to horizons Where
And they wandered in
From the city of St. John
Without a dime
Wearing coats that shined
Both red and green
Colors from their sunny island
From their boats of iron
They looked upon the promised land
Where surely life was sweet
On the rising tide
Butterfly Col Lyrics
So you finally got what you wanted Youve achieved your aim by making the walking lame And when you just cant get any
Did they ride into the street
See the glory
Of the royal scam
They are hounded down
To the bottom of a bad town
Amid the ruins
Where they learn to fear
An angry race of fallen kings
Their dark companions
While the memory of
When I walk down the street Seems everyone I meet Gives me a friendly hello I guess I'm just a lucky so and so The
A savage winter
Every patron saint
Hung on the wall, shared the room
With twenty sinners
See the glory
Of the royal scam
By the blackened wall
He does it all
He thinks he's died and gone to heaven
Now
Poverty Hill Lyrics
POVERTY HILL They come in their summery dress and jackets so fine Rich folks who measure success with a big dollar sign
the tale is told
By the old man back home
He reads the letter
How they are paid in gold
Just to babble in the back room
All night and waste their time
And they wandered in
From the city of St. John without a dime
See the glory
Of the royal scam
POVERTY HILL They come in their summery dress and jackets so fine Rich folks who measure success with a big dollar sign
the tale is told
By the old man back home
He reads the letter
How they are paid in gold
Just to babble in the back room
All night and waste their time
And they wandered in
From the city of St. John without a dime
See the glory
Of the royal scam
