Carousel

I found a samurai
Trapped in a dreamer's eye last night
And he spoke of
Shoguns and emperors
Sworn oaths and precious swords
Last night

Soldier tell me only this
They who spill blood for bliss
Will they ever stop?

Tell me, in a thousand years
Could we slay all our fears
With our little swords?

And he said
No sir, it never ends
We're trapped in a carousel
It goes on
And all I do now is count my scars
Dig graves and thank my stars
It goes on
Carousel

He told me
Stories of ancient lords
Who fell upon their swords that night
And he spoke of
Honour and settling scores
Old feuds and pointless wars last night

Soldier tell me only this
Did vengeance bring you bliss?
Will this ever stop?
Tell me, in a thousand years
Could we slay all our fears
With our little swords?

And he said
No sir, it never ends
We're trapped in a carousel
It goes on
And all I do now is circle stars
Dig graves and count my scars
It goes on
Carousel

I found a samurai
And he raised this battle cry last night
Don't fight the carousel
Crush self, love will prevail at first light
But don't fight
The carousel
