Spock's Beard - Minion lyrics

A minion of the citadel I gave it up and left my post A stronghold neither strong nor held And now you're totally exposed Feeling overcome Feel like I could come undone Feel it welling up And spilling over this fragile cup A wall I couldn't see beyond An end I couldn't have forseen A waving of a magic wand A dream I didn't dare to dream Threat of consequence gave me cinder blocks for shoes No need for common sense, her control was set to cruise A horse with blinders on, I kept trotting straight ahead A dog who sits and begs for the garbage that he's fed Some stories need to be revised Some players need to be recast It's sobering to realize Some ever afters were never meant to last And now you've found your tower is on the ground in pieces The fortress you prized, but never bothered to fortify its weakness A coward you say, but I knew this would come some day And it wouldn't take much to come down So I turned the page, wanting more than a servants wage I won't be a slave to the crown It's noble enough to stay in the ruins like a captain who chooses to sink It's noble but then you always had fixed your eyes on keeping your nobility
