Fable (Chapters One, Two, and Three) (Demo Version) Lyrics

This is a story from the Fable of Lore

What's in store

Oh nothing much

Just stories

Nothing more

These are the tales of the shadows that would fade away

No sunlight to cast them back to life today

Hey

You can listen for a few

Can't you

There's nothing else you really have to do

Ain't that true

Just let me tell my story

But be known I share no glory

It's nothing but a story

Just a little bedtime story

So

Truth

What is this word to you

All of you

Have you really wondered the depth of such a single word

Sometimes the matter of stretching the definition

Would only change who has permission

To grant

Which choice of truth is heard

This is exactly like the story you're about to hear

One man's decisions make so many people live in fear

Or so they say

Or one does anyway

But that's fine

Really, it's okay

We all have games that we need to play

Take this man, for instance

Harmony

Believing all the pain he'd suffered in his past, you see

He had me there with him, holding tight so he would see

He wasn't alone

But still he had that throne

So very far away from me

That's how he liked it though

As far as you could throw

I don't know

I took what I could get since long ago

That's just the way it goes

As far as I know

But you know

I don't play those games no more

I'm grown

I planted roots in the garden for seasons

But the rodents tore that shit up right quick

For no fucking reason

I tried to put up a fence, they made a gate

I tried repellant, but they made their way in

Too fucking late

I even tried to put a tarp up to cover the shit

By that time though, I really gave up on it

And so I walked away, nothing else left to say

I let the garden die, nice try, but some other day

So, let's go next to chapter 2

A bit of a sadder case at this time, but this is nothing new

It's just the same old story

Remember, just a story

But this fable will not reach his passage

Till he reaches 40

Meet Neighbor

Sweetness you could savor

But the sweetness got too salty with bad spices changing the flavor

Dinner was served

And from then still not a word

Even worse is that he gives it off

Like he's doing you a favor

Pinching away at the bread is a little boy

Gobblety, gobble, gobble, no need to play with little toys

He stands there all day, gobbling away at your green

Your deeds and everything else that you find so keen

Standing before us is or was my ex-neighbor

Sweetness turned sour, someone tempted with the flavor

No one around no more

To experiment with spices

But dices of my neighbor

Is creating some behavior

Scatterbrained and dazed, he rumbles to the countertop

Does he stop

Oh no, he doesn't stop

He hits the rock

On top

Oh no, I think not

He went and reached for the top shelf with the knives

And ha ha ha, the chopping block

He took yo shit, he took my grip, he laid it all there on the block

He took the biggest sharp-and-shiny, gave a couple knocks

Tappity tap tap went the knife cutting into the chopping block

Made a niche in the block, now we stop here to look up top

Hear me, oh lively ones

It's just a fable

Oh

But I ain't done

So many lives have cost me

Exhausting me

No time to live or die

Just struggling

Struggling

It's time to see the truth in the ways you say

Every day

No more lies

No more ties to them

It's just a fable

Timelines each and every way

Never sleep

Never again

Never again

Chapter 3, you can take this one however you wish

It can be a story

It can be a notice

You take your pick

I think it's been too long to really give it a name

The trail of dirt, blood, sweat, and tears lead back to the person anyway

Meet the little bitch who tried to take a life away from me

How many times was at the end

One, two, three

Four

Oh yeah

And then one more

I almost lost count there

It was fun

You and your whore

I might as well have been in a wooden box kicking and screaming

Every time I thought about either one of you I would start seething

Wishing there was a way to take you both back and get even

You have no idea just what you started when you called this demon

It has the passion of a thousand fires burning high

And with a single chance it will send you flying through the sky

Landing only on your final resting place or close at least

But still there's time to figure out if you deserve something so sweet

Could you visualize the things that you would do to me

How about a hint

Here's a blindfold

There's no need to see

All you have left is the thoughts and all the fucked up sounds

Happening behind you

And all around you

Will you know these sounds

Not now

How about the scraping of the rock along the jagged blade

That one was always so much fun

You should try it

That okay

You know I never really got so used to all those sounds

Maybe with a lot more time you'll have more luck this time around

This is a fable in the very worst way

Brave

Cannot walk away

From chapter one

Rise and falling of the sun

It's not possible to run

There's no way

Bidi Bai

Bidi Bidi Bai Dai

Gray

That's what they all say

The book is closing but never will it be closed forever
