[Verse]
AmOnce upon a time at the foot of a great mountain
AmThere was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived
AmTheir very existence a mystery to the rest of the world
Obscured as it Fwas by great clouds Am
AmHere they played out their peaceful lives
AmInnocent of the litany of excess and violence
AmThat was growing in the world below
To live in Fharmony with the Amspirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough
Then one Emday, FStrangefolk arrivEed in the town
FThey came in camouEflage, hidden behAmind dark glasses
But no one noticed them,F they only Esaw shadows
CYou see, Gwithout the Truth of the FEyes, the Happyfolk were Eblind
[Interlude]
AmFalling out of Emaeroplanes and Amhiding out in Gholes
AmWaiting for the sunGset to come, Ampeople going Gmhome
AmJump back from beEmhind them and Amshoot them in the Ghead
Now Ameverybody Gdancing, the Amdance of the Gdead
The Amdance of the Gdead, the AmdanGce of the AmdeaGd Am
[Verse]
AmIn time, Strangefolk found their way into the high reaches of the mountain
FAnd it was there that they found the caves Amof unimaginable, sincerity and beauty
AmBy chance, they stumbled upon the place where all good souls come to rest
The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels in these Ecaves above all Fthings
And Esoon they began to mine Fthe mountain
EIts rich seam, Amfueling the chaos of their own Fworld E
CMeanwhile, down in the Gtown, the FHappyfolk slept restlessly
ETheir dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging Amaway at their souls
AmEvery day, people would wake and stare at the mountain
AmWhy was it bringing darkness into their lives?
AmAnd as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain, holes began to appear
FBringing with them a Acold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul Amof the Monkey
For the first time
The AHappyfolk felt Amfearful
AmFor they knew that soon the Monkey would stir from its deep sleep
AmAnd then came a sound, distant first
AmIt grew into castrophany
So Aimmense it could be heard far away in Amspace
AmThere were no screams, there was no time
AmThe mountain called Monkey had spoken, there was only fire
And then...nothingN.C.
[Outro]

There's Fnothing you beEmlieve you A7want
But Fwhere were Eyou Cwhen it all came Gdown on Fme?
E Did you call me? No...
