Songs For Spring iv) The Dreadful Weed

from The Purest of Designs by Steve Cochrane

lyrics

THE DREADFUL WEED

A lonely weed begs your pardon
It only wants to invade your garden
Armed with lies and shallow eyes
He’s a weakness in you
He’s the slightest compromise

Now your painting is smeared with blood
Beloved flower trampled in the mud
Free your vision, let it shine
Kill the weed and free your mind

Kill the weed, it is time
Break it’s hold on your mind
Drain it’s blood, cut it’s root
Crush it’s evil with your boot
For the weed tears apart
The living truth, the hopeful heart

Kill the weed, it is time
Break it’s hold on your mind
Beauty cries beneath the force
Nature strays from it’s course
Kill the weed, it is time
Kill the nuisance, stop this crime
