Warden of Loaves

from On the Wing by Zombies of the Stratosphere

lyrics

Now by testaments betrayed
We turn to face the Gilded Age
When birds of tin hung in the air
Ignored by those who set them there
So call the Warden of the Loaves
He’s sleeping ‘neath the kitchen stove (wake him up)
With jealous Lairds and Baronets
The minor ones we all forget
Send for the knights of summer, hold back the day
And though you long for slumber, don’t fade away
Believers pray, ten times a day
So they say
Send for the knights of summer (they’ll fight for money)
Hold back the day
And though you long for slumber (they’ll die for bread)
Don’t fade away
Believers pray, ten times a day (so they say)
Anyway
Call for the Warden of Loaves
