Elliott's Keep - Laughter Of The Gods (Official Video)

A small cup
Gripped in dirty hands
My days, weeks and years

Wheels of plague cart
Pushed up filthy streets
Every moment, how to escape

And when I dared hope
I heard thunder

Weary legs
Burning up steep hill
Bring out your dead

Stale bread crust
With the stench of death
Reverie, as cart wheel turns

And when I dared hope
I heard thunder

Another day
Trudging mud and shit
Earnest, whispered prayers

All despair
Yet, I remain determined
One copper further

And when I dared hope
I heard thunder
Without warning
Lightning crossed the sky

Simple irony
Me rigid and blue
Coins fall from my hand
On my own ride upon that cart

Man plans
And the gods laugh

What have they decreed?
No one gets out alive
