Lyrics

The Saga Of Pepote Rouge

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There's a legend of a lady on the mountain

Who lives alone beyond the mecca plain

And with her hands she makes it through the winter

She never goes against the grain

To be someone is to be someone alone

To be someone is known as solitude

To learn to sing below the surface

You must adjust your altitude

Break the news, Pepote Rouge is coming to town

We stand accused, Pepote Rouge, of bein' hellbound

She had a vision, and now she holds the key

You don't know what you want, 'til you find out what you need

I was stranded on the damn coast when a lady

Called to me in a voice so soft and low

Her words resounded like a fountain of truth

And then she faded like a rainbow

Her golden spaceship with the mother of the earth

Carved in stone, the queen of avatars

Where seventy children were given birth

She then returned back to the stars

Break the news, Pepote Rouge is coming to town

We stand accused, Pepote Rouge, of bein' hellbound

She can help us find our way and get across

You don't know what you gained 'til you find out what you lost

Pepote Rouge come down from the mountain

And lead our people into the light of day

For they are lost and know not where they're goin'

And all their leaders are cast in clay

Now disbelief and mass confusion

Spreading wild across the land

You can call it love or call it wisdom

To be not savin' a drowning man

Break the news, Pepote Rouge is coming to town

We stand accused, Pepote Rouge, of bein' hellbound

She can show us just where we went wrong

You don't know where you're goin' 'til you find where you belong
