about

Ratswalter rants and raves.

lyrics

Ratswalter turned over in his bed
he couldn't believe, he couldn't believe, he couldn't believe
the thing he'd dreamed, the thing he'd dreamed, the thing he'd dreamed
the winter wind howled in the night
and over by the door in the candle light

the broken bell, the the book from 1933
he couldn't remember, he couldn't remember, he couldn't remember
it was so long ago, it was so long ago, it was so long ago,
rats in the cellar, birds in the trees
black on black on black on black
white is blind, white is blind, white is blind, white is blind,

the book from 1933, the book from 1933, the book from 1933
it's coming, it's coming, it's coming,


the ship of state is inexorable and regal
but i have a sinking feeling, a sinking feeling , a sinking feeling
