Cedar-by-the-sea was supposed to be some kind of starting point
And then the kids in the colony, yet to be born, would rebuild
Everyone would stay occupied with work, fortifying Cedar-by-the-sea
Cedar-by-the-sea
It started in his head and it started on a typewriter in the 1920s
It started in his head and it started on a typewriter in the 1920s
He wrote detailed accounts of numinous encounters
He warned of impending changes
With passionate insight, his eloquence enticed the wealthy and educated
He pulled out their pockets and pushed off with the contents, en route to Vancouver Island
Vancouver Island
Construction underway, teachings were exchanged for unflagging dedication
Promises were made and the bankroll inflated
Their loyalty was absolute
It started in his head, it started in his head
It started in his head, it started in his head
He spent a year sailing
When he came back, he was different
His ship went off-course, and he nearly perished
He needed space so he bought three more islands
but his followers grew uncertain that they could trust his judgment
They started asking questions
He'd work them to exhaustion to quash it and break their free will
His second mistress would beat and abuse them
and when the money dried up, they were ostracized
He left them destitute, so they sought damages
and when the cops were closing in
he and the Madame fled with the gold to Europe
The foundation was dead and they had no lives left
They were ruined, they were ruined
They were ruined, they were ruined
