They say that all the world's a stage and all of us are merely actors
Told exactly where to stand and what to say
Every action preordained by someone hiding in the rafters
We see a glimpse of heaven as the vessels of the play
But heaven didn't have to be so cold
Limber up your wings and take those halos off
Help me work the room
Warm the place up
Fill your best cup
Dim the lights and grab your makeup
Heaven warms to me tonight
The say that all the world's a stage and all of us are merely players
Faceless mannequins on puppet masters' strings
I say the world's a cabaret made interesting by sparks of danger
Mixed crew and crowd with no-one waiting in the wings
Heaven doesn't have to be so cold
Limber up your wings and take those halos off
Help me work the room
Warm the place up
Fill your best cup
Dim the lights and grab your makeup
Heaven warms to me tonight
Strike a match and burn the script up
We go off book tonight
(Strike up the match
Off book tonight)
Heaven didn’t have to be so cold
And heaven doesn't have to be so cold
Limber up those wings and get those halos off
Help me work the room
Warm the place up
Fill your best cup
Dim the lights and grab your makeup
Heaven warms to me tonight

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
