Half Mans Song
Music and Lyrics by: Gavin Dunne
Performed by: Miracle of Sound
Video by: Justin Clouse

There are some who are born distinguished
There are some who are raised in praise
But me I was always the last in line
A blot in my father’s gaze

<p>
  No cheekbones chiselled on a feline face<br /> No skill or savvy with a sword<br /> But this game we all play is won in wily ways<br /> And sly is this littlest lord
</p>

<p>
  Cruel tricks of romance<br /> Degraded by their spite<br /> You snub your cub too many times<br /> You just might feel his bite&#8230;
</p>

<p>
  Beware beware of the words I twist<br /> I am small but my reach is long<br /> And the ravens black against the winter&#8217;s mist<br /> Are whispering the half-man&#8217;s song<br /> Whispering the half man&#8217;s song&#8230;
</p>

 

The land is a blooming orchard
With fruits so juicy and ripe
With a clink of a coin loose the lion’s loin
Play a tune on the half man’s pipe
In the arms of a whore I made a promise
Sinking deeper into danger every day
Cut through all their shit with a brazen wit
Moulding puppets from their minds of clay
I’m no man of honour
Myself is my true king
But somewhere deep within me
The bells of conscience ring
Beware beware of the words I twist
I am small but my reach is long
And the ravens black against the winter’s mist
Are whispering the half-man’s song
They’re whispering the half man’s song…
Whispering the half man’s song…
