Witching Hour

lyrics

We have seen the village in the night and felt the eyes that never close...
the search is on again
But is there nowhere left to hide and should my eyes grow dim and cold...
bewitched another day
Counting ‘till the moon is full of light may seem a worthless legacy... a show of lunacy
Reliving glories from the past is a full time job, no time to be... creating memories

So has the lost one found your name?
And will things ever be the same?
Will you deny the final blame?
And after all that you became (such a shame)

And once upon a time I’d sleep
away the days of summer free
to see a vision of your face
a witching hour in white lace

I still believe in Guinevere
and dreams that never bring her here
and if I seem a little lost
amongst the figurines I brought…

I say to you, “just find a looking glass, step through”
I say to you, “just find a looking glass, step through”

And if you count the many times
I thought I saw her with my eyes
To find a mirror shimmer back
in waves of ice cold tainted black

We have come to offer once again...the yearning sacrificial lamb that somehow understands
But if you must reject our blindly paid devotion, must you motion us to silence
with your hand?
I have come to realize the silence laden alibis are nothing...when compared to your last
dance
and yet we still portray the long awaited hero and the mourning maiden
clinging to her last and final chance

about

Mutiny in Jonestown Washington

Influenced by classic 70's progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator & Genesis - along with late 60's psychedelia from The Beatles, Procol Harum & Pink Floyd (with a little 70's Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure), Mutiny in Jonestown has always sought to take these influences and synthesize them into something new.

The band has released 42 albums since 1987. ... more
