Metaphors can make war Leaves shiver in the forest Where arrows soar, through the silver fort From the quiver of the poets Hush is sound As they float into town While hoods hide their labyrinth The moon has dawned Schemes are elaborate Serene is the maverick Robin hood is no good They say he's lost his merit With his words he moves the herds Through the enchanted forest The air was fine once upon a time Through the happy ending But what they've seen can only mean The end is always pending Robin hood is no good They say he's lost his merit With his words he moves the herds Through the enchanted forest Metaphors can make war Leaves shiver in the forest
