The Man Without Morality
Charron House Revelations: Unveiling a Morally Depraved Tale
Lyrics
Here is a rat taking scraps from a sad
A rat symbolically collecting scraps from a pitiable man
Unfortunate, grovelling, filthy man
Describing the man as unfortunate, groveling, and filthy
(Is he the one who's dripping sickness with his sick condition?)
Raising a question about the man's role in spreading sickness
Here is a girl in rags with the racket
Depicting a girl in rags facing unjust misfortune
Wrongfully undone, she's outta luck
Describing the girl as wrongly undone and out of luck
Then he says:
Transition to a character's statement
"By God, she'll make a fine addition!"
A man expressing approval of the girl as an addition
(Ragtag outta the bag, it's the bad batch)
Referring to a group with a negative connotation
Bring me the orphaned and pitied
Requesting the presence of orphaned and pitied individuals
Bring me the countess of sin
Requesting the presence of a countess associated with sin
(Oh give him more, more, more, more!)
Encouraging the acquisition of more
Bring me the harlot and whore
Requesting the presence of a harlot and whore
So when the morning light sinks out of sight
Describing a moment when the morning light disappears
The mayor will take the town as ambition strikes
The mayor taking the town with ambitious strikes
You'll know he's on the prowl when you hear that sound
Indicating the presence of a prowling figure with a distinctive sound
The sound of–
Unspecified sound associated with the prowling figure
Close your eyes and enter pleasure at the Charron House
Inviting the listener to experience pleasure at the Charron House
Oh nobody aches like the man who wields the sceptre
Expressing the unique pain of the scepter-wielding man
The man without morality itching for the taste of new–
Describing the man without morality craving new blood
Blood!
The intense desire for blood
Here is a witch with an itch and a taste for the rich
Depicting a witch with a penchant for the rich
She's a sinful medication for all the sad men who need attention
Describing the witch as a sinful remedy for attention-seeking men
Here is the pride of wealth
Introducing the pride of wealth, a gambler's son with promises
He's a gambler's son with a promise of prosperity
Encouraging attention to what follows
(Oh you've gotta hear this)
Expressing enthusiasm about something noteworthy
Bring me everything, everything, everything, everything, everything
An emphatic request for everything
There is a twisted procession
Describing a distorted procession set to arrive at dawn
They'll dock at the striking of dawn
The potential reward for making the procession sing
If you make them sing
Highlighting the richness achieved by making them sing
You'll be as rich as a king!
Repetition of the morning light and ambitious actions
So when the morning light sinks out of sight
The distinctive sound signaling the prowling figure's presence
The mayor will take the town as ambition strikes
The mayor taking control with ambitious strikes
You'll know he's on the prowl when you hear that sound
Reiteration of the sound accompanying the prowling figure
The sound of–
Unspecified sound
Close your eyes and enter pleasure at the Charron House
Inviting the listener to experience pleasure at the Charron House
Oh nobody aches like the man who wields the sceptre
Highlighting the unique suffering of the scepter-wielding man
The man without morality itching for the taste of new–
Describing the man without morality craving new blood
Blood!
The intense desire for blood
There's a ship approaching fast
Announcing a fast-approaching ship with witches from Bellvoir
And on that ship are the witches of Bellvoir!
Reiteration of the ship's occupants being witches
There's a ship approaching fast
Announcing a fast-approaching ship with witches from Bellvoir
And on that ship are the witches of Bellvoir!
Reiteration of the ship's occupants being witches
