HERE BE MONSTERS

Here be monsters and here be gangsters, here be demons and the kraken

Here be gargoyles, evil paeodophiles, but here be angels, here be men

Call the men from the machine, boys — call the women from the loom

Call my dear and distant kin, boys, bring 'em to this sunlit room

Have 'em raise their voices to the rafters, let us sing an ancient tune

You know, the one our kinfolk taught us regarding phases of the moon

We've read the charts, we've interpreted the signs, travelled many a lonely mile.....

Now heed your hearts, turn the water into wine and turn this sadness to a smile

There has been corruption, boys — evil men at play

Intent on our destruction, boys — they have had their day

So lead 'em to this courtroom, boys — drag 'em from the prison cells

Let their evil be revealed, boys — they are doomed to living hell

Hear them baying at the moon, boys, see them creeping like the bats........

Have them falling in a swoon, boys, have them caught up just like rats

We have come to clear the swamp, boys, we have come to clean the air

Fix the engine, make it pump, boys, set the trap and hook the snare

We will live our lives in harmony, place our faith in humankind

Live our lives in peace and honesty, live our lives in love aligned

Let the children know their history, let them sing a joyful song........

Let them keep their sense of mystery and let them stay forever young
