Renaissance Land Lyrics

Out here in Renaissance land

A tardy reconnaissance man 


Brought blueprints to the plan

Packed up  in a prospecting pan

Oh, and what's for breakfast


Oh, and what's for lunch 


Can you guess the next question 


O mercy, Captain Crunch

I had a ditch to wallow

I had a storm to fend

I had a prince to follow

And yet a fence to mend 


Out here in Renaissance land 

There's nothing left to borrow

Out where the heart's been had

Where now there's only sorrow

No reason to be sad

You lost in hesitation

To look before you leap

The dream was dead already 


Before you fell asleep

It's only for the pleasure

A strip show for the blind

We wander from the treasure 


We ever seek to find

Out here in Renaissance land

And oh my father's sins

And oh my mother's merit 


Praise the humble thing 


That nothing will inherit 


The name of glory hostage

The shuffle in the tongue

The shifting of the  language

The hanging days begun

We want what you got

The beauty and the sum

A blessing from your bloody throat

Your promise peace will come

Out here in Renaissance land
