Fm Cm
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
D# A#
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
Fm Cm
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
D# A#
He's a jester on the count
Fm Cm
The wise man died and the seance went on
D# A#
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
Fm Cm
In dreams of a masterplan
D# A#
For a billion parrots in a big cage
Fm Cm D# A#
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
Fm Cm D# A#
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
Fm Cm D# A#
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
Fm Cm D# A#
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
C# D#sus4 D#
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries
