Apple Carts
Damon Albarn
[Verse 1]
Pull the apple carts
Up from Silbury hill
Higher until heaven reveals
On the addled dawn, respond
To great authority
Singing hallelujah, hallelujah
Love does reign
[Chorus]
In the kingdom of the broken heart
The blackbird sings
And the moon it laughs
As war begins, dance
[Verse 2]
Now burn the apple carts
Burn them until a great fire begins
To glow in the sky
There beneath the stones, recharge
From great austerity
Raining down from above
Distant is love
Our disdain
[Chorus]
In the kingdom of the broken heart
A blackbird sings
And the sun it laughs
As war begins, dance
[Outro]
Pull the apple carts high up on the hill
Set the cores alight
The sea of glass is real
Cast the barley out into prevailing winds
Where it lands and grows
The blackbird will sing
