A Balleto for Rupus

[Verse]
Rupus Fugue is misty mad; fa, la-la-la, la-la la la!
Fed by pity, ragged clad; fa, la-la-la, la-la la la!
The vapors sing their songs to him; fa, la-la-la, la-la la-la la!
The song discordant, always grim; fa, la-la-la, la-la la la!

[Verse]
Mists of pink will raise the dead; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!
All that hungers must be fed; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!
Monks and crows shall hear the call; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!
Red will swirl to change them all; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!

[Chorus]
Songs of memory and time
Poly-rhythm, slanting rhyme
Deep within the swirling pale
They ride upon the fiercest gale

[Verse]
Rupus Fugue can hear them croon; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!
Dances to its timely tune; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!
Songs are sung of presents past; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!
Futures now will never last; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!

[Verse]
Summon birds with mists of green; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!
Raven font will wash them clean; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!
Souls will fly on midnight wings; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!
But soon forget what Rupus sings; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!

[Chorus]
Songs of memory and time
Poly-rhythm, slanting rhyme
Deep within the swirling pale
They ride upon the fiercest gale

[Instrumental]

[Verse/Outro]
Rupus Fugue is misty mad; fa, la la la, la-la la la!
Fed by pity, ragged clad; fa, la la la, la-la la la!
The vapors sing their songs to him; fa, la la la, la-la la-la la-la!
The song discordant, always grim; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!
Rupus Fugue is misty mad; fa, la la la, la-la la-la!
