"The Druids" lyrics - TOYAH

TOYAH
"The Druids"

The meeting commences
In the arena;
Gladiators
And space defectors.

In walk the druids and the shock troops
In walk the druids and the shock troops

Ringside seats,
Bird's eye views,
Video cameras only tell the truth.
Milliards of youths
Complacent in the eyes
Of their contemporary sleuths

In walk the druids and the shock troops
In walk the druids and the shock troops

Witch-wizards sat on cosmic thrones,
The new age crowned all skin and bones.
The sacred priestess of Merlin The Mage,
Opens the book,
She turns the page -

Then in walk the druids and the (screaming) shock troops
In walk the druids and the (screaming) shock troops
Then in walk the druids and the (screaming) shock troops
Screaming, screaming
In walk the druids and the (screaming) shock troops
Screaming...

Conspiracy of silence,
An orgy of peace.
They're all here
From every sphere,
From every planet
To shake their spears.
Divide the lands
Of the halls of Pan.
Painted warlords
In their hordes,
Azard kings and OBI queens
Step from my skull
And live my dreams.
