Across The Water
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.
When the hell broke loose at midnight
Time to die was near
Golden tongues, disastrous fire
Increasing human fear
Sounds of prayers
To God had faded
There was no escape
Burning bodies, crowded sundeck
Told them it's too late
Death by fire, an awful question
But they still could choose
Burned to ashes
So getting drunk
Nothing left to lose
Death by fire, an awful question
But they still could choose
Burned to ashes
So getting drunk
Nothing left to lose
Part 4 - 5 o'clock tea
Be home for tea
The queen told me
When I was leaving
To see the three down on their knees
Begging for mercy
It's all been fun
The hanging is on
What has been told to
Death has a face
Savings from grace
He has to leave why
But for the chain
I will just be away
The carefully prepared execution
It seems that to me
That I must run
Some deal with utter amusement
Dropped in for tea
She's waiting for me
Switched on the Tele
And smashing it cried
Ending the fight
Haven't seen us with valet
Be home for tea
The Queen told me
When I was leaving
To see the three narrowly free
All the way from the backroom
