Green Eye-Shade

A wonder of wit Had the monocrat clipped And that what was common Is sunk in the mud For those who don't fit Felt the symmetry slip No more for the marksman They bandage their blood Oh, green eye-shade In a new dawning hour Through a mad reverie Bore the eyes of the kingdom Oh, green eye-shade In the fall of all power Rose a clear alchemy Of green eye-shade And he who was ruling Is no more returning A splint in the temper A bloom through the snow No leaders are fooling The energy's burning And as they take centre A sight to bestow Oh, green eye-shade In a new dawning hour Through a mad reverie Bore the eyes of the kingdom Yeah, green eye-shade In the fall of all power Rose a clear alchemy Of green eye-shade The fallen opposer Who lost in a bubble weight Match with a rebel Their shame to undue And shed from the shoulders Heads full of vile-hate Roll from a temple Too old to be true Oh, green eye-shade In a new dawning hour Through a mad reverie Bore the eyes of the kingdom Yeah, green eye-shade In the fall of all power Rose a clear alchemy Of green eye-shade Yeah, green eye-shade In a new dawning hour Through a mad reverie Bore the eyes of the kingdom Oh, green eye-shade In the fall of all power Rose a clear alchemy Of green eye-shade
