The Mechanisms - "The Hierophant" lyrics

Artist: The Mechanisms

album: High Noon over Camelot


At the head of the great round table there stood an empty chair
Its sharp form dominated the room,
Seemingly oblivious to the creeping rust
Two of the company had tried to sit there
A pair of deputies whose names were quickly forgotten
One died instantly
The other started screaming,
And didn't stop until his own death a few months later
So now it stood empty
None of this put off Galahad
Who walked in at the height of the day's scorching heat and approached
"Wouldn't do that, preacher man,"
"Don't recall asking your opinion, son,"
And Galahad sat down
Long ago, a star faring civilisation decided to
Build a space station of unparalleled size and power
In close orbit to their sun, Avalon
What happened to them is a mystery
But the station,
Named by its creators as Fort Galfridian, was never finished
Its work crews abandoned centuries ago
The chair in question was known to these ancients as a Siege Seat
It would lock your mind directly into the station
All of Fort Galfridian's knowledge and sensors
Which would have been fine if it wasn't in a decaying orbit
Gradually falling into the sun
The overwhelming heat and
Information overload was too much for most minds
Leaving them cracked and broken
And Galahad was no different
It's just that the holy roller had a
Rather unique interpretation of what he saw
