The Riddler Riddler Riddler ask me why The birds fly free on a mackerel sky Ask me whither goes the wind Whence the endless tick-tick stream begins
Make me guess if the earth is flat or round Set a guessing if fantasies are unbound If tales aren't just for children to see That it's peace if sleep walks with me
As you wish For kingdom come The one to know all the answers You think you dwell in wisdoms sea Still sweet ignorance is the key To a poet's paradise Challenge the Riddler and you will see...
Riddler Riddler ask me why All mothers beneath the Earth and sky Hold their children's hands for a while Their hearts forever - yours and mine
Make me wonder what's the meaning of life What's the use to be born and then die Make me guess who's the one Behind the mask of Father and Son
As you wish...
For nature hates virginity I wish to be touched Not by the hands of where's and why's But by the Oceans' minds
As you wish...
Here is the rest

Very profound!
Here's the lyric from In The Court Of The Crimson King, by King Crimson:
The rusted chains of prison moons are shattered by the sun. I walk a road, horizons change, the tournament's begun. The purple piper plays his tune The choir softly sing Three lullabys in an ancient tongue For the Court Of The Crimson King.
The keeper of the city keys put shutters on the dreams I wait outside the pilgrim's doors with insufficient schemes. The black queen chants the funeral march The cracked brass bells will ring To summon back the Fire Witch To the Court Of The Crimson King.
The gardener plants an evergreen whilst trampling on a flower. I chase the wind of a prism ship to taste the sweet and sour. The pattern juggler lifts his hand The orchestra begin As slowly turns the grinding wheel In the Court Of The Crimson King.
On soft grey mornings widows cry, the wise men share a joke. I run to grasp divining signs to satisy the hoax. The yellow jester does not play But gently pulls the strings And smiles as the puppets dance In the Court Of The Crimson King.

I can almost hear the music..... and The Riddler's played by Nightwish (I do listen other bands and singers, but not very often)

From the album called Oceanborn. The web site is quite complementary about it, too. I'll have to listen to some samples when I get home.

NP: Quite Rightly So, by Procol Harum
For you, whose eyes were opened wide, Whilst mine refused to see, I'm sore in need of saving grace. Be kind and humour me. I'm lost amidst a sea of wheat, Where people speak but seldom meet And grief and laughter, strange but true, Although they die, they seldom cry.
An ode by any other name I know might read more sweet. Perhaps the sun will never shine Upon my field of wheat. But still in closing, let me say For those too sick, too sick to see, Though nothing shows, yes, someone knows, I wish that someone was me.

NP: Elven path by Nightwish (again)
Elvenpath (In the sheltering shade of the forest Calling calming silence Accompanied only by the full moon The howling of a night wolf And the path under my bare feet... ...The Elvenpath)
Hearing music from the deepest forest Songs as a seduction of sirens The elf-folk is calling me
Tapio, Bear-king, Ruler of the forest Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the ill and sad Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path
The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It's the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath
The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick Introduced me to her old friend home gnome Told me to keep the sauna warm for him
At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves The path goes forever on
The way to the lands...
As I return to my room And as sleep takes me by my hand Madrigals from the woods Carry me to neverland In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight

Here's another Procol Harum one, called In The Autumn Of My Madness (taken from the In Held Twas In I suite - a 17-minute song!). I should point out that I recently discovered that the vast majority of the songs that I like have lyrics that relate to me - and I never noticed it before...
In the autumn of my madness When my hair is turning grey For the milk has finally curdled And I've nothing left to say When all my thoughts are spoken, Save my last departing birds. Bring all my friends unto me And I'll strangle them with words.
In the autumn of my madness, Which in coming won't be long For the nights are now much darker And the daylight's not so strong And the things which I believed in Are no longer quite enough For the knowing is much harder And the going's getting rough.
