Karn Evil 9 First Impression Lyrics

    Cold and misty morning, i heard a warning borne in the air
    About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare,
    Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the cold
    Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold.
    I'll be there
    I'll be there
    I will be there.

    Suffering in silence, they've all been betrayed.
    They hurt them and they beat them, in a terrible way,
    Praying for survival at the end of the day.
    There is no compassion for those who stay.
    I'll be there
    I'll be there
    I will be there.

    There must be someone who can set them free:
    To take their sorrow from this odyssey
    To help the helpless and the refugee
    To protect what's left of humanity.
    Can't you see
    Can't you see
    Can't you see.

    I'll be there
    I'll be there
    I will be there;
    To heal their sorrow
    To beg and borrow
    Fight tommorow.

    Step inside! hello! we've the most amazing show
    You'll enjoy it all we know
    Step inside! step inside!

    We've got thrills and shocks, supersonic fighting cocks.
    Leave your hammers at the box
    Come inside! come inside!
    Roll up! roll up! roll up!
    See the show!

    Left behind the bars, rows of bishops' heads in jars
    And a bomb inside a car
    Spectacular! spectacular!

    If you follow me there's a speciality
    Some tears for you to see
    Misery, misery,
    Roll up! roll up! roll up!
    See the show!

    Next upon the bill in our house of vaudeville
    We've a stripper in a till
    What a thrill! what a thrill!
    And not content with that, with our hands behind our backs,
    We pull jesus from a hat,
    Get into that! get into that!
    Roll up! roll up! roll up!
    See the show!

    Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
    We're so glad you could attend
    Come inside! come inside!
    There behind a glass is a real blade of grass
    Be careful as you pass.
    Move along! move along!

    Come inside, the show's about to start
    Guaranteed to blow your head apart
    Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
    The greatest show in heaven, hell or earth.
    You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo.
    You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll ....

    Soon the gypsy queen in a glaze of vaseline
    Will perform on guillotine
    What a scene! what a scene!
    Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand
    To alexander's ragtime band
    Roll up! roll up! roll up!
    See the show!

    Performing on a stool we've a sight to make you drool
    Seven virgins and a mule
    Keep it cool. keep it cool.
    We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown
    Were exclusively our own,
    All our own. all our own.
    Come and see the show! come and see the show! come and see the show!
    See the show!
