Lord of Misrule - Marc Almond

Please come on in and sit you down

And partake of the feast

I count you all the friends I have

The ones i like the least

I’ll shelter you from darkness

As it clouds over the earth

For the world is in a Turmoil

And life has lost its worth

Black shall be your christmas

And sad tidings to you all

I’ll put my gift under the tree

Wait for the ash to fall

I’ll give you guns and bombs

And all my military plans

I’ll give you my machines

And a list of my demands

The lord of Misrule

Lord of the feast of fools

Not mischievous but cruel

The lord of Misrule

I’ll bring you to your knees

Before festivities begin

I’ll might be a lord

But please don’t let me in

I’ll be the last one laughing

At the ending of the world

I’ll point my finger at you

Say you got what you deserve

Take pleasure in your misery

I’ll revel in your shame

A little festive schadenfreude

Wicked party game

So take your chance to steal

All that you covet every day

Betray your friends and break their hearts

Come on and make a play

They’d only do the same to you

So don’t regret a thing

Bring your deceits to the table

And let the feast begin

The lord of Misrule

Lord of the feast of fools

Not mischievous but cruel

The lord of Misrule

I’ll bring you to your knees

Before festivities begin

I’ll might be a lord

But please don’t let me in

The lord of Misrule

Lord of the feast of fools

Not mischievous but cruel

The lord of Misrule

I’ll bring you to your knees

Before festivities begin

I’ll might be a lord

But please don’t let me in

So face the sun until

The shadow falls behind you

'cause i’m the lord and i

Will always find you

So face the sun until

The shadow falls behind you

'cause i’m the lord and i

Will always find you
