This arrangement of Grave Mistake pays homage to Keep On Movin’ by Jam & Spoon.
Listen to Grave Mistake by Richard Charles Stevens (Movin’ Suite)
Ignorance is far from bliss
Belligerent and harvestless
Targeting deliverance
In bargain with indifference
The bitter kiss of slithered lips
Sinking ships
Considered in their every move
No point to prove
Or move to make translating bliss
.
Hatred stains the fingertips
Of those ordained to getting even
Even when their actions excommunicate through petty reason
Seem to think they hold the right
To grab the reins and hold them tight
Stab the veins deemed out of favour
Unknown of the rights they waiver
.
Victory the sole delight
Predictably they bolt upright
Each time they roll one-sided dice
And weave their web like spider mites
Provide concise words slicing dicing
Sighted eyes revitalising
Anything to stifle the horizons under black moon rising
.
Time and time again they make the same mistake
A grave mistake
For every bleeding night precedes a danger day in waiting
Patiently awaiting plaything
Chasing tails of scale brocaded
Facing pale the sunlight fading
Breaking trail of faith persuaded
.
Telling tall tales unrelated to a mode of sail outdated
Sinking ships
Loose lips elated
Strategists demodulated
Each abyss a deepened well of thickened cells coagulated
Unaware their stares declare imprisoned cells contaminated
.
Preaching what tradition tells
Whence former coalition fell
Deficient little citadels
Resistant to sufficient wealth
To break the chains disgrace parades
To make the changes saving grace
Before the penny drops with haste
That better days made getaways
.
Defamation regulative
Self-undressing restless natives
Facing pale the sunlight fading
Breaking trail of faith persuaded
Telling tall tales unrelated to a mode of sail outdated
Sinking ships
Loose lips elated
Strategists demodulated
.
Defamation regulative
Self-undressing restless natives
Facing pale the sunlight fading
Breaking trail of faith persuaded
Telling tall tales unrelated to a mode of sail outdated
Pandering to hate when actually it’s better placed negated
.
Time and time again they make the same mistake
A grave mistake
For every bleeding night precedes a danger day in waiting
Patiently awaiting plaything
Chasing tails of scale brocaded
Facing pale the sunlight fading
Breaking trail of faith persuaded
.
Telling tall tales unrelated to a mode of sail outdated

Unaware their stares declare imprisoned cells contaminated

In bargain with indifference
The bitter kiss of slithered lips

Loose lips elated

Each abyss a deepened well of thickened cells coagulated
Unaware their stares declare imprisoned cells contaminated
