about

For Brenner

lyrics

The man on the stage never told his real age
And the words on the page were the bars of his cage
And his heart filled with rage when they hailed him a sage
And although he felt beige they named him
Royal Blue

His intentions weren't clear to himself or those near
As they started to hear a verse floating in ear
That could cut like a spear or carress them so dear
So from spite or from fear they named him
Royal Blue

When they started to see what he'd wanted to be
They all wondered how he'd found a way to be free
Every sweet melody was a sacred decree
And so down on one knee they named him
Royal Blue

Lay him down underground
Heavy is the head that wears the crown

The day the sun rose red he lay still in his bed
No more thoughts in his head would again be misled
But the people who read all the words he had said
Venerated the dead and named him
Royal Blue
