Abney Park - Abney Park lyrics

Darkness, the streets of London he searched for souls Alone he'd never achieve his lofty goals Peasants and beggars he found to aid his plans Train them and give them the strength to share his lands Welcome to the Park Step inside my home It's crowded and it's dark Yet here I stand alone An island, lost and alone, he forged for them Away from the city where they did fend Beauty he gave to the place: green trees, white sand The souls in creation had held no hand Welcome to the Park Step inside my home It's crowded and it's dark Yet here I stand alone Naked he stood as the people did wage their war This island was the treasure that they fought for Love and honor was fought with no valor The dead were lying slain at every door Welcome to the Park Step inside my home It's crowded and it's dark Yet here I stand alone An island of my own Like old Prospero built For my life I atone And I'm armed to the hilt Darkness, the streets of London he searched for souls Alone he'd never achieve his lofty goals Peasants and beggars he found to aid his plans Train them & give them the strength to share his lands Welcome to the Park Step inside my home It's crowded and it's dark Yet here I stand alone An island of my own Like old Prospero built For my life I atone And I'm armed to the hilt WELCOME TO THE PARK!
