Apple Carts

Damon Albarn

Haul the apple carts
Up from silbury hill
Higher until heaven revealed
On the addled dawn, respond
To great authority
Singing, "Hallelujah, hallelujah"
Love does reign

In the kingdom of the broken heart
The blackbird sings
And the moon, it laughs
As war begins, dance

Now burn the apple carts
Burn them until the 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

In the kingdom of the broken heart
A blackbird sings
And the sun, it laughs
As war begins, dance

Pull the apple carts
High up on the hill
Set the cores alight
A sea of glass is real
Pass the barley out
Into prevailing winds
Where it lands and grows
The blackbird will sing
