Until Olympius Returns |
Go through the motions |
Every day out in the square |
Listen for the hidden rhythms on the air |
Nod in agreement when the tyrant holds court |
Look for a beacon from the north |
Protect yourself |
Vouch for every member of the team |
This is just a momentary ripple in the stream |
Join in the rebuilding |
Sing loudly at your labor |
Make friends with the new guys |
Be nice to your neighbor |
Profess keen interest in the welfare of the state |
Taste everything they feed you |
Say it tastes real great |
Spit it down your sleeve |
Every time you get the chance |
This is just a brief improvisation in the dance |
Raise up the columns |
Take the statues down |
Praise the columns |
Spread the word around town |
Behold the temple where the old one stood |
Is it not a thing of beauty |
Don’t it make you feel good |
Is it not a big improvement on the way things used to be |
Is it not a stately beacon for the whole world to see |
We will be right here |
On the day it finally burns |
Everybody hold a spot |
Until Olympius returns |
Yeah! |
