Feathers and Tar

Once upon and ever after, in the land of long ago Lived a queen who held her sceptre, in the castle made of snow All the knights and guardian angels, did what knights and angels do Unaware of hidden dangers and from where the cold winds blew When the rain of good came falling and they saw the damage that she had caused as her calling, reaching for their souls Say to young knights stay where you are, oh, oh, oh, oh This is the age of feathers and tar Soon the group of greed unfolded In quite disconcerting ways Facts were twisted, squeezed and moulded To proclaim the end of days No we gather, rain is falling Counting down has just begun Listen to the mad man calling Reaching for the sun Stick to your guns, make the stairway rock oh, oh, oh, oh Welcome to the age of feathers and tar All of the smiles and reason None of them seem to care Why doesn't anyone listen? Anyone, anywhere? So the queen in all her grandeur lost the castle made of snow That's the way she'll be remembered When the winds have ceased to blow oh, oh, oh, oh See the young girls made of steel and rock We're living in the age of feathers and tar
