Abney Park

Darkness, the streets of London he searched for souls

Alone he'd never achieve his lofty goals

Peasants and beggars he found to aid his plans

Train them & give them the strength to share his lands

Welcome to the park. Step inside my home.

It's crowded & it's dark, yet here I stand alone

An island lost & alone he forged for them

Away from the city where they did fend

Beauty he gave to the place: green trees, white sand

The souls in creation had held no hand

Welcome to the park. Step inside my home.

It's crowded & it's dark, yet here I stand alone

Naked he stood as the people did wage their war

This island was the treasure that they fought for

Love & honor was fought with no valor

The dead were lying slain at every door

Welcome to the park. Step inside my home.

It's crowded & it's dark, yet here I stand alone

An island of my own, like old Prospero built

For my life I atone & I'm armed to the hilt

Darkness, the streets of London he searched for souls

Alone he'd never achieve his lofty goals

Peasants and beggars he found to aid his plans

Train them & give them the strength to share his lands

Welcome to the park. Step inside my home.

It's crowded & it's dark, yet here I stand alone

An island of my own, like old Prospero built

For my life I atone & I'm armed to the hilt

WECOME TO THE PARK!
