Lyric of the Week: As the Casket Calls
This is a really recent piece I wrote. I already have music to it and you could one day see (or hear I guess) it up here in full song. Comments welcome!
As the Casket Calls
So put on the crown
As these empty castle walls
Are falling to the ground
Down before us all
Stand up and take a bow
The lights are fading low
Enjoy the adoration
You’re the reason for the show
The casket calls with broken bells
And tired melodies
The harp is played by lovely fingers
Plucking every dusty string
So put on the crown
And watch the jester’s rouse
The empty house is all in awe
Of an effort just for you
The casket calls with heartless words
And stirring memories
The faithless dance an empty jig
They’re the servants of the king
The casket calls in perfect time
To every word that we sing
The faithless dance an empty jig
They’re the servants of the king
So put on the crown
And watch the castle fall
Listen to the sounds
Of the casket call
