Abney Park - Abney Park lyrics

Darkness, the streets of London
He searched for souls
Alone he'd never achieve his lofty goals
Peasants and beggars he found
To aid his plans
Train them and give them the
Strength to share his lands

Welcome to the Park step inside my home
It's crowded and it's dark
Yet here I stand alone

An island, lost and alone, he forged for them
Away from the city where they did fend
Beauty he gave to the place: green trees
White sand
The souls in creation had held no hand
Welcome to the Park step inside my home
It's crowded and it's dark
Yet here I stand alone

Naked he stood as the people
Did wage their war
This island was the treasure
That they fought for
Love and honor was fought with no valor
The dead were lying slain at every door

Welcome to the Park step inside my home
It's crowded and it's dark
Yet here I stand alone

An island of my own like old Prospero built
For my life I atone
And I'm armed to the hilt

Darkness, the streets of London
He searched for souls
Alone he'd never achieve his lofty goals
Peasants and beggars he found
To aid his plans train them & give them the
Strength to share his lands

Welcome to the Park step inside my home
It's crowded and it's dark
Yet here I stand alone

An island of my own like old Prospero built
For my life I atone
And I'm armed to the hilt
Welcome to the park!
