Upon the Stage

from Watch the Witch by Redemption Draweth Nigh

lyrics

Upon the stage all the actors run their lines
Upon the stage they wave and smile
A rose bouquet is tossed down at their feet
Their grin is deceit

Pacing the boards in a steady way
Guiding your heart to hesistate
"There's nothing to worry about," they say
"Just keep your eyes on the play"

"So, eyes on me, stop looking all around the room
Stop staring at the curtain, this drama is for you"

Upon the stage, oh, the actors scream and fight
Upon the stage, they steal the spotlight
And then they say, "Don't worry, everything is alright"
There must be something wrong

Hurry, the time is almost out
Darting shadows faster than our doubt
The faces stretch and twist like clowns
The juggler spins the balls around

You, you must get out of this place
This is a cage
From which there'll be no escape
This is an important word

All that remains, the distractors of the stage
There's nothing of value to gain
The thieves they work all night and day
To keep you engaged

Upon the stage
The villains they rage
The actors charade
On the stage, politicians they play
The puppets they sway
They smile to keep you amused
