The Secret Commonwealth (Live) Lyrics

Not so far from this very place

At the end of a weary road

There is Doon Hill atop the mouldy valley

Many stories I've been told

Of the greasy trees circling a mighty pine

Where the Secret Commonwealth resides

Secrets that keep you up at night

Are not easy to keep

Slow and soflty came that chime again, stuck in his mind so deep

He's been haunted by that chime for he dared

To knock upon the gate

And earned their wrath for 'fool!' he thought

He had the otherness in his veins

The point ain't that he knew too much

T'was that he couldn't keep his mouth shut

Back in the days, the darker days

When there was no stain yet on the moon

They knew about Faerie and when bored

They would give some wyrm a bloody doom

Those days are gone, the wyrms have crawled

Way deeper in their holes

To wait for people like him to come

To riddle and then swallow them whole

The point he would not understand was

Whatever happens at Doon Hill stays at Doon Hill

Follow me up that hill

To the pine trees

I found ways to the monster's lair

I know, babe, I know

Everbody knows this place is ours

And now

So are you

are you

Damn your second sight

Not so far from this very place

At the end of a weary road

There is Doon Hill atop the mouldy valley

Many stories I been told

Of those gready trees circling a mighty pine

Where the Secret Commonwealth resides
