Текст песни Singring And The Glass Guitar [An Electrified ] - Utopia

This is an electrified fairytale
If you've never heard of an electrified fairytale
Just picture little fairies with wee tiny electric guitars

Once upon a time in a land not far from here, there was a place called Harmony
Everyone in Harmony was happy and this joie de vivre was guarded by their invisible patron, the muse Singring
But jealous forces, and there are always jealous forces in such tales, have conspired to capture the Spirit
Imprisoning it in a chest with four keys, and casting the keys to the four corners of the earth
So that only four particularly brave and talented individuals might retrieve them
It is here that our story begins

There's a rumor I heard that's going 'round town
(Someone's captured Singring, Singring)
Come hear the news, come hurry on down
Down to the old town square

The announcer wipes at his eyes, he's trying to hide
(See it in his face, tell by his expression)
The secret knowledge that claws to escape as he cried
Day of infamy, someone's captured Singring
Day of tragedy, someone's captured Singring
Now what shall we do, what shall we do now?
Now what shall we do, what shall we do now?

And if you take a look around, Harmony is dying
Someone trapped the Spirit in a glass guitar
And if you listen with your heart, you can hear it crying
Free me from my crystal prison in this glass guitar

There's a rumor I heard that's going around
(Someone's saving Singring, Singring)
Come hear the summons, hurry on down
Down to the village green

And the spokesman speaks for us all, together we call
(Brave adventurers, warriors, and free men)
Conquer self and so in the end save us all
Conquer earth and wind, conquer fire and water
Conquer earth and wind, conquer fire and water
Brave adventurers, come and save us all
Brave adventurers, come and save us all

And if you fail to win the keys, Harmony is dying
Trapped away forever in a glass guitar
And if you listen with your heart, you can hear it crying
Free me from my crystal prison in this glass guitar

Having gathered on the green, the brave adventurers of the land march off in search of the keys
Their quest leads them first to the river's edge

Lead me to the water
Pass me my flagon of wine
I said show me to the water
Quick before I change my mind
I go down to the river and bravely the rapids I row, oh
Over the falls to the bottomless pool
And it's down to the bottom, down to the bottom, down to the bottom I go

Only one has the courage to dive into the river and brave the bottomless pool in search of the first key

Let the four winds blow icy breath before me
Storms will never keep me from the glass guitar
Hurricanes may scream, I will never feel it
'Til I find the key that leads me to the glass guitar

Only one has the courage to wander the desert and brave the eternal winds in search of the second key

Fire can never burn me
Flames cannot catch me, faster am I
Blazes never faze me
Barefoot I walk hot coals for a mile

My sword is tempered, my loins are girded in steel
Make my way to the heart of the forest of flames
If I do my best and don't stop to rest
I may pass the test and capture the key that opens the chest

Only one has the courage to make his way into the forest of flames and brave the fire-breathing dragon in search of the third key

I will climb the face of the highest mountain
Whilst Singring calls crying from the glass guitar
Though the earth may shake let the planet tremble
Steady will I struggle onward to the glass guitar

Only one has the courage to climb to the top of the highest mountain in search of the fourth key

Having scaled the mountain and finding no key, the climber begins chopping madly at the ground with his pickaxe, causing the mountain to split in two revealing the last key

Now in possession of all four keys, the brave adventurers march triumphantly Into the valley of silence to open the chest, smash the glass guitar, and free the spirit of Harmony

Smash it, smash it, smash it, smash it, smash it, smash it!
