To[Em]To summon back the fire witch

The [Em]gardener plants an evergreen
 
Whilst trampling on a flower

The [Am6]orchestra begin[Fmaj7]begin
As[Em]As slowly turns the grinding wheel

To [Em6]satisfy the [Cmaj7]hoax
The [Am]yellow jester [Fmaj7]does not play
But [Am6]gently pulls the strings[Fmaj7]strings
And[Em]And smiles as the [Cmaj7]puppets dance
