[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.
