Vapor Emperors

Revealing lives of times past -

Howling in the mist.

 

Howling in the mist.

Twin wolves, one of heart, one mind.

Who is it they call?

Who is it they call?

Kindred spirits, those who sing;

those who always hear.

Those who always hear,

do not listen with their ears,

nor see with their eyes.

Nor see with their eyes

But only sense past the walls
from the heart unbound

From the heart unbound

I send good wishes to all

Good, bad and ugly

Good, bad and ugly,

We are all the same, 

Respect and love all

Respect and love all

But do not trust too lightly

And guard your heart well.

And guard your heart well

The source from which springs boundless

And eternal joy

Repair many a wounded spirit

Gee, thanks for breaking the chain.

Break the chain, sure

Yeah, skip the five-seven-five

But keep the balance

 

But keep the balance

Stand on one foot, touch your nose

Juggle some old books

All returns to dust!

 

All returns to dust

Or else to ashes returns

Buried or else burnt.

Yum yum then toot toot!

Yum yum then toot toot,
ridding your heart of its soot:
a green explosion!
