Lyrics

SPARKS & CAST
So may we start?
So may we start?
It’s time to start
High time to start
They hope that it goes the way
—it’s supposed to go
There’s fear in them all but they
—can’t let it show
They’re underprepared but that
—may be enough
The budget is large but still
—it’s not enough
So may we start?
May we start, may we, may we now start?
So may we start?
May we start, may we, may we now start?
It’s time to start
May we start, may we, may we now start?
High time to start
May we start, may we, may we now start?
We’ve fashioned a world, a world
—built just for you
A tale of songs and fury
—with no taboo
We’ll sing and die for you
—yes in minor keys
And if you want us to kill too
—we may agree
So may we start?
(…)
Soclose all the doors and let’s
—begin the show
The exits are clearly marked
—thought you should know
The authors are here so
—let’s not show disdain
The authors are here and they’re
—a little vain
A little vain
Now…
The music resounds and all
—the flames are lit
So ladies and gents please
—shut up and sit
The curtain of our eyelids
—lazily rise
But where’s the stage you wonder
Is it
outside,
or is it within?
Outside? Within?
Outside? Within?
(…)
So may we start?
(…)
