Hint
Answer
Verse 1
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
 
sings
 
Three
 
lullabies
 
in
 
an
 
ancient
 
tongue
Refrain
For
 
the
 
court
 
of
 
the
 
crimson
 
king
Verse 2
The
 
keeper
 
of
 
the
 
city
 
keys
 
Put
 
shutters
 
on
 
the
 
dreams
 
I
 
wait
 
outside
 
the
 
pilgrims
 
door
 
With
 
insufficient
 
schemes
 
The
 
black
 
queen
 
chants
 
the
 
funeral
 
march
 
The
 
cracked
 
brass
 
bells
 
will
 
ring
 
To
 
summon
 
back
 
the
 
fire
 
witch
Refrain
To
 
the
 
court
 
of
 
the
 
crimson
 
king
Verse 3
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
 
begins
 
As
 
slowly
 
turns
 
the
 
grinding
 
wheel
Refrain
In
 
the
 
court
 
of
 
the
 
crimson
 
king
Verse 4
On
 
soft
 
grey
 
mornings
 
widows
 
cry
 
The
 
wise
 
men
 
share
 
a
 
joke
 
I
 
run
 
to
 
grasp
 
divining
 
signs
 
To
 
satisfy
 
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
