Lyrics - Stage 1 Scene 1 (cards Do Not Lie) by Masters Hammer

Among the hills a winding way
I am going to meet my educationbe it a patch of my gapsfrom happiness already turns red the face !
The way of knowledge is full of thornshow to separate grain from chaff ?
A castle tower welcomes me from farwith its copper battlement.
Already a good piece of walk behind mebehold, a wooden
Gasthaus there,and the inscription says "
ZUM
SPIRITUS"- its very name so nicely sounds !
My luggage here being so heavyand full of books,please, take them up
I want to sleep in the attic...
And do quickly serve the table
I ate in
Prague for the last timeand some sort of
Spirits too,which would raise the humour !
Who is taking seat beside me ?
Greeting me by my name ?
Maybe a hundred years old woman- that makes me feeling shocked !
And suddenly
I see cards spread outon a little table herein a room filled with smokeof pure hemp !
My supreme consternationabout her knowing my pasthowever,
I want to know perfectlywhat will give the future to me ?(the fortune-teller:)"
Here the king and next the knave."(
Atrament:)"
What does it mean ?""
A high born gentleman will lick your back.""
And what comes next ?""
Ha, ha, if you order brandy, we hear in no timewhether you shall have your head on the log,or a good fortune on your knees !"
Old hag,
I am fed up with your talks,
I am an occultist !
Thought not seeing through the cards,but
I know how to do with life:
And in the bar a vermilion notice:
ET
ZUM
SPIRITUS
TUOI shall prefer to sing a duetwith my own tumbler !
As a flash from the clean skystruck by the phantom ofa beautiful grilin my eyes there sticksthe glance of her eyesand those clear forms of her hips
We spent in waking all the nightand the bed empty in the morningwhen the little
Table bestowedat the exorcising right enough !
