From the recording Echo and Ash
Lyrics
Down the primrose path I post
Straight to Satan’s grotto
Shunning virtue, doing all
Things that I ought not to
In the Land there comes a man
Not of us, but for us
A stand-up man
with an bang-up plan
Who’ll once again adore us
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
You might miss it
I’d no idea we’d been abused
Scorned and disrespected
But it looks like we’ll be grand again
All our dirt protected
Stoke the coals and fan the flames
The acolytes incited
Fired and shamed as the traitors came
All of them indicted
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
You might miss it
Faceless men precede me here
Deep in spleen, unending
Bent to pull the whole house down
For wrongs that they’re defending
Liberty of name usurped
By a long career of libel
Acid splashed like a megaphone
One hand on the Bible
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
You might look away
Don’t look away
You might miss it!
