Paul Sullivan - Recreational Time Travel

Ten Swords

We are the star-stealers, the hermits, the dealers
It's a marked card play for hanged men and healers

Lying and stalling
Won't stop the tower from falling
Though sun and moon sing to you
Ten swords swing for you

We'll trade air and earth for fire and water
We'll show you the judgment that drowned Justice's daughter

Sleight-of-hand switching
Won't hide magicians and witching
Though fools swim in water clear
Death meets the Devil here

Though coins in cups rattle bravely, sword and wand cannot save me
Whether major or minor, all the world's players crave thee

This life's a big deal
Slowly turning the wheel
But lying and stalling
Won't stop the tower from falling
Though sun and moon sing to you
Ten swords swing for you
Ten swords swing for you
Ten swords, ten swords
