cat black the wizard s hat

T. Rex

Catblack the wizard s hat
Spun in lore from Dagamoor
The skull of jade was pearl inlaid
The silks, skin spun, repelled the Sun
A tusk of boar with dwarfish awe
Sobs on the door where stood before
A mountain man with sky-blue teeth
Upon his head a python s wreath
A deer he slew in the dawning s dew
Her heart was a dagger for a murderer s brew.

A toad of jet on a sill cast in brass
Portrayed for his sight mysteries of the past
A yellow orphan dancer rich in Nature s costly gold
Wept for the jailer of time to bless her old
But his kiss he held and shadowed for the spell of nights are strong
And spiralled like a whirlwind in the childhood of a song

Catblack the wizard s back
Daubed in doom in his tounge tombed room
We of the wind must rejoice and speak
