Feathers and Tar

Once upon and ever after

In the land of long ago

Lived a queen who held her scepter

In the castle made of snow

All the knights and guardian angels

Did what knights and angels do

Unaware of hidden dangers

And from where the cold winds blew

When the rain of blue came falling

And they saw the damage done

She heard the mad men calling

Reaching for the sun

Stick to your guns, better stay where you are

This is the age of feathers and tar

Soon the book of freedom folded

In quite disconcerting pace

Facts were twisted squeeze and moldy

To proclaim the end of days

Now we gather, rain is falling

Counting down has just begun

Listen to the mad men calling

Reaching for the sun

Stick to your guns, better stay where you are

Welcome to the age of feathers and tar

All of  the stars have risen

None of them seem to care

Why doesn't anyone listen

Anyone anywhere?

There's no one there

So decreed in all her grandeur

Lost her castle made of snow

That's the wish, you'll be remembered

When the winds have ceased to blow

Stick to your guns, better stay where you are

We're living in the age of feathers and tar
