The Empyrean

1

<
   Gen'ral went to hospital
for stoke.  Not a man ever
under his command forgot
to visit him.  He forced them
to be men--and it was a 
thing they neither forgot nor
regretted.  Sometimes those who
have great confidence also
speak the truth.  The Gen'ral has
been drinking strong tea since he
was a small boy.  He shares it
with all of his men, of course.

He knows his commander's voice.

Goin' home, Goin' home, I'm
a goin' home (paradise)


prodeas, nova, nupta.

Let the sunshine in, face it
with a grin.  Open up your 
heart and let the sunshine in.

still lie serpents in the mist
