Armed
Pryda Lyrics

Kill the lights
Hello ladies and gentlemen
I'm glad you've graced me with your presence
You're in time to see me wrestle with my conscience
Staring into the si-si-silence
You see I came to save the stage
I hope I'm not too late
Passion called from back
Behind the curtain screaming
"Sonny, this is urgent
Fill these 50 voices with a purpose
But don't just give it away
Inspiration isn't cheap these days
You better make them earn it"
You better
Make them earn it
Make them earn it
You better
Make them earn it
Make them earn it
Hello ladies and gentlemen
I'm glad you've graced me with your presence
You're in time to see me wrestle with my conscience
Staring in the si-si-silence
You see I came to save the stage
I hope I'm not too late
Passion called from back behind the curtain screaming
"Sonny, this is urgent"
You see I came to save the stage
I hope I'm not too late
Passion called from back behind the curtain screaming
"Sonny, this is urgent"
How do I address a letter to my generation?
"Sonny", she said, "Save yourself the postage"




How do I address a letter to my generation?
"Sonny", she said, "Sing it in person"

Moonlit Armour of Arms
Moonlit dancers of those who try to roar their lions hearts
And tear innocence apart
And tear innocence apart

Moonlit Armour of Arms
Where's the solidity in the prosperous charms
Moonlit Armour of Arms
Where the velocity in the nurturing of beauty and diminishing of the larks

Arms of Armour
Moonlit Armour of Arms
Am I hearing those lion's roar
And trying to tear innocence apart
And trying to tear innocence apart

Tigers tier not tear
Humans develop nurturing not fear
So why I ask is envy
Destroying my generation of the golden writers steer

Arms of Armour
Moonlit Armour of Arms
Am I hearing those lion's roar
And trying to tear innocence apart
And trying to tear innocence apart

As arms of armour
Never brings tears to my sons door
So who are the eagles
Crowing their claws
That's not arms of armour
That's the dragons poisoned claw.
