Catblack the wizard hat
Spun in lore from Dagamoor
The skull of jade is pearl inlaid
The silk skin spun repels the sun
A tusk of boar with Dwarfish awe
Sobs on the door where stood before
A mountain man with sky-blue teeth
Upon his head a python wreath
A deer he slew in the dawning's dew
Her heart was a dagger for a murderer's brew
A toad of jet on a sill cast in brass
Portrayed for his sight mysteries of the past
A yellow orphan dancer rich in Nature's costly gold
Wept for the jailer of time to bless her old
But his kiss he held & shadowed for the spell of nights are strong
& spiralled like a whirlwind in the childhood of a song
Catblack the wizard's back
Daubed in doom in his tongue-tombed room
We of the wind must rejoice & speak
& kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek
Could these lyrics be more wrong?
Here's the lyrics for the actual song:
Catblack the wizard hat Spun in lore from Dagamoor The skull of jade is pearl inlaid The silk skin spun repels the sun
A tusk of boar with Dwarfish awe Sobs on the door where stood before A mountain man with sky-blue teeth Upon his head a python wreath
A deer he slew in the dawning's dew Her heart was a dagger for a murderer's brew
A toad of jet on a sill cast in brass Portrayed for his sight mysteries of the past A yellow orphan dancer rich in Nature's costly gold Wept for the jailer of time to bless her old But his kiss he held & shadowed for the spell of nights are strong & spiralled like a whirlwind in the childhood of a song
Catblack the wizard's back Daubed in doom in his tongue-tombed room We of the wind must rejoice & speak & kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek
