Masai Boy Lyrics

Words Willcox/Music Willcox, Lee)

Rise o sun

Rise o sun

Golden one

God of our horizon

God's eye. Volcano cry.

Warrior. You're a Masai.

Africa

Africa

Africa

Africa

Spear your joy

Spear your joy

Masai Warboy

Manhood. You must kill the boar

Be a warrior. As your elders before

Painted loins. Africa

Seeking the spirit of adventure

Dye your hair

Paint your skin

Sacrifice

The youth of your skin

Run to the sun

Run to the sun

Run to the sun

Run to the sun

Exhaustion

Exhaustion

Exhaustion

Exhaustion

Your body's screaming

Your body's screaming

Masai boy

You're a warrior

MARIONETTE

----------

(Words Willcox/Music Bogen)

Twisted strangers

Have gone to war

Oxygen drunk

Fall bleeding to the floor

Glass eyed creatures

Fragmented features

Piecing together

Fallen warriors

revolution

For the maiden queen

Sherwood Forest

Or an African scene

The Marionette

She has velvet claws

She pulls the strings

In this city of whores

The Marionette pulls the strings

You say yes

You bend, she wins

The Marionette pulls the strings

Pulls and pulls

Til your spirit gives in

Grueling hot sweat

In the land of a whore

will this be war

will this be war

The knave and the pawn

Ripen the whore

With bastard sons

her brats of law

The hawk and the falcon

Swoop to blind their eyes

The reaper she laughs

She chokes she cries

The Marionette pulls the strings

You say yes

You bend, she wins

The Marionette pulls the strings

Pulls and pulls

Til your spirit gives in

Foaming white horses

Cracking their sinews

For the Maidens of Troy

The bell tower falls

Pouring to the floor

Whoa, love and death, a climax all in all

Medieval shores and madrigals

Her velvet claws pull you with passion

to her floor

In the cathedral

Her children sing

In the cathedral

The pendulum swings

The Marionette pulls the strings

You say yes

You bend, she wins

The Marionette pulls the strings

Pulls and pulls

Til your spirit gives in
