Lyrics

Parliament Of Rooks

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.

Fold my clothes neatly

Set the table slowly

Sweep the floor gently

Clock is ticking softly

They are here in the morning

They're in the evening

Wondering when it's time

The choir of marauders

Highest beckoning order

No point in trying to hide

It's just a parliament of rooks

Sitting on the fence, waiting for the world

It's just a parliament of rooks

I'm not ready to move from this world to the next one

Ready to move from this world to the next one

Summon my soul to the end of the setting sun

A parliament of rooks will move you on

Looking at your body

Free from any burden

Don't know where I'm going

Certainly not to heaven

They are here in the morning

They're in the evening

Wondering when it's time

The choir of marauders

Highest beckoning order

No point in trying to hide

It's just a parliament of rooks

Sitting on the fence, waiting for the world

It's just a parliament of rooks

I'm not ready to move from this world to the next one

Ready to move from this world to the next one

Summon my soul to the end of the setting sun

A parliament of rooks will move you on

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come
