The parrot of night repeats perpetrations
Confused but aloof – a tooth of his station
Refusing to lose the face that was raised to him
Its beckoning squawk is taught as an echo
The parrot of night knows not what he's saying
But this doesn't prevent him from slaying day, anyway
With words unabridged, sounds of ages
Bounding the distance, until the blue dawn
But when the Blue Dawn comes,
The threats continue to tumble
Why is it so hard to trust
A light which can only reduce this to a mumble?
The parrot of night turns away in its cage
A terrible stillness plagues the day
A feathery shrillness stays on the page
Even when the book is over
Parrot of night
Diminish and fatten
The band are finished
Practising Saturn
In the first of teak
They look to the moon
And straight from your beak
They begin on your tune
But when the Blue Dawn comes,
The threats continue to tumble
Why is it so hard to trust
A light which can only reduce this to a mumble?
Parrot of night
Parrot of night
Parrot of night
Parrot of night
Repeats out of sight
Parrot of night...
