"Pearls And Coffins" lyrics

"Pearls And Coffins"

Ooh, child of moon
Child of light
So you sold your soul
In the dead of night?
Headlong into mystery
Love, war and greed
In the grand bazaar
In the garden of the queen
Ooh, what a wonderful scheme

All you gave me, pearls and coffins
In your usual soulless fashion
I was looking for heart and passion
But all you gave to me
Was pearls and coffins

Bridge across the valley
Arrows from the sun
You crossed me in the gully
In the mist of Avalon
Poison filled the air
The battle had begun
Machineguns blazing on
But strange, there was no sound
Ooh, and you left me for dead

All you gave me, pearls and coffins
In your usual soulless fashion
I was looking for heart and passion
But all you gave to me
Was pearls and coffins

Ooh, child of moon
Child of light
So you sold your soul
In the dead of night?
Headlong into mystery
Love, war and greed
In the grand bazaar
In the garden of the queen
Aah, what a wonderful scheme

All you gave me, pearls and coffins
In your usual soulless fashion
I was looking for heart and passion
But all you gave to me
Was pearls and coffins
