the same old tale

hiding in my hut again
afraid to venture out
a week's gone by
since the 'witches 3'
had cast their spell about

they will recognize me
from that other realm
with just one glance
i would be found out

i must not break
their unspoken rule
nor speak the truth of
what they're all about

they know behind
their prideful blindness
that i can really see
where it is they're at and
what they wish for me

it's the same old tale
and the same old trap
that they have set for me

the elephant, the naked king
and the sly old 'witches 3'

they cannot e'er be
seen as they truly are
only for what they seem

they have no use
for one like me as i'd
only blow their scheme

the elephant, the naked king,
and the 'witches 3'
can't really be to blame

they cannot help
where they came from
it's all they knew you see

the mirror world
down that rabbit's hole
was always front to back

i must be hidden away
from their probing gaze
of this there is no doubt

they cannot dare risk
someone like me exposing
what they're all about

there can be no rest
for these exiled ones
never shall there be

for they're ever stranded
in this limbo world and
home they'll never see
