Feathers and Tar - Kayak

Once upon and ever after, in the land of long ago

Lived a queen who held her sceptre,

in the castle made of snow

All the knights and guardian angels,

did what knights and angels do

Unaware of hidden dangers and from where the cold winds blew

When the rain of good came falling and they saw the damage that

she had caused as her calling, reaching for their souls

Say to young knights stay where you are,

oh, oh, oh, oh

This is the age of feathers and tar

Soon the group of greed unfolded

In quite disconcerting ways

Facts were twisted, squeezed and moulded

To proclaim the end of days

No we gather, rain is falling

Counting down has just begun

Listen to the mad man calling

Reaching for the sun

Stick to your guns, make the stairway rock

oh, oh, oh, oh

Welcome to the age of feathers and tar

All of the smiles and reason

None of them seem to care

Why doesn’t anyone listen?

Anyone, anywhere?

So the queen in all her grandeur

lost the castle made of snow

That’s the way she’ll be remembered

When the winds have ceased to blow

oh, oh, oh, oh

See the young girls made of steel and rock

We’re living in the age of feathers and tar
