Pearls and Coffins

Lyrics

Ooh, child of moon Child of light So you sold your soul In the dead of night? Headlong into mystery Love, war and greed In the grand bazaar In the garden of the queen Ooh, what a wonderful scheme All you gave me, pearls and coffins In your usual soulless fashion I was looking for heart and passion But all you gave to me Was pearls and coffins Bridge across the valley Arrows from the sun You crossed me in the gully In the mist of Avalon Poison filled the air The battle had begun Machineguns blazing on But strange, there was no sound Ooh, and you left me for dead All you gave me, pearls and coffins In your usual soulless fashion I was looking for heart and passion But all you gave to me Was pearls and coffins Ooh, child of moon Child of light So you sold your soul In the dead of night? Headlong into mystery Love, war and greed In the grand bazaar In the garden of the queen Aah, what a wonderful scheme All you gave me, pearls and coffins In your usual soulless fashion I was looking for heart and passion But all you gave to me Was pearls and coffins
