lyrics

HEY MERLIN!

The path to the house -- the path is overgrown
The door swings open -- there is no one home
They say a man lived here many years ago
But what happened to this man no one knows

They say he had -- he had some magic friends
and they all met -- they all met tragic ends
Banished and scattered the wizards died
and now all the legends lie

Hey Merlin, Hey Merlin
don't believe a word they say
Hey Merlin, Hey Merlin
it was worth it anyway
Living backwards in time
Losing your mind

You fall from grace -- fall from grace before you're there
They soil your name -- soil it to protect theirs
All laughter and joking is illegal now
They'd ridicule you but they don't know how
