Spock’s Beard - Minion lyrics
[Spock’s Beard - Minion lyrics]
A minion of the citadel
I gave it up and left my post
A stronghold neither strong nor held
And now you're totally exposed
Feeling overcome
Feel like I could come undone
Feel it welling up
And spilling over this fragile cup
A wall I couldn't see beyond
An end I couldn't have forseen
A waving of a magic wand
A dream I didn't dare to dream
Threat of consequence gave me
Cinder blocks for shoes
No need for common sense
Her control was set to cruise
A horse with blinders on
I kept trotting straight ahead
A dog who sit's and begs for
The garbage that he's fed
Some stories need to be revised
Some players need to be recast
It's sobering to realize
Some ever afters were never meant to last
And now you've found your tower is
On the ground in pieces
The fortress you prized
But never bothered to fortify it's weakness
A coward you say
But I knew this would come some day
And it wouldn't take much to come down
So I turned the page
Wanting more than a servants wage
I won't be a slave to the crown
It's noble enough to stay in the ruins
Like a captain who chooses to sink
It's noble but then you always had fixed
Your eyes on keeping your nobility
I gave it up and left my post
A stronghold neither strong nor held
And now you're totally exposed
Feeling overcome
Feel like I could come undone
Feel it welling up
And spilling over this fragile cup
A wall I couldn't see beyond
An end I couldn't have forseen
A waving of a magic wand
A dream I didn't dare to dream
Threat of consequence gave me
Cinder blocks for shoes
No need for common sense
Her control was set to cruise
A horse with blinders on
I kept trotting straight ahead
A dog who sit's and begs for
The garbage that he's fed
Some stories need to be revised
Some players need to be recast
It's sobering to realize
Some ever afters were never meant to last
And now you've found your tower is
On the ground in pieces
The fortress you prized
But never bothered to fortify it's weakness
A coward you say
But I knew this would come some day
And it wouldn't take much to come down
So I turned the page
Wanting more than a servants wage
I won't be a slave to the crown
It's noble enough to stay in the ruins
Like a captain who chooses to sink
It's noble but then you always had fixed
Your eyes on keeping your nobility
