La Parabola Dei Battagghi

Vespers that give harmony
To the tolling of the clowns
You infuse unnoticed splendors of blatant obviousness
Chanting with irony
A clamor of cowbells
Clear mysteries for those who struggle without age

Come and listen with me
The parable of the Battagghi
A climb purged by seductive darkness
Of debris that set sail
From the regurgitation of the Battaghi
Empty honors enlisting appearances of honesty

Dances of convenience
Alienating flatteries
Sweat contritely under a weight of loyalty
Paying abstinence
In concealing consternation
Unseen mirror to an appearance ascending to charity

Come and listen with me
The parable of the Battagghi
A climb purged by seductive darkness
Of debris that set sail
From the regurgitation of the Battaghi
Empty honors enlisting appearances of honesty

(Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go)
(Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go)
(Yes)

I gift you madness
To strip the honor
Of those who tie dark songs to cunning beauties
Invisible to irony
To linger on a bed by the hour
That paints to fertility elusive ages

Come and listen with me
The parable of the Battagghi
A climb purged by seductive darkness
Of debris that set sail
From the regurgitation of the Battaghi
Empty honors enlisting appearances of honesty

A climb purged by seductive darkness
Empty honors enlisting appearances of honesty

(Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go)
(Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go)
(Yes)
