Beggar at the Manor

First performed when the band was Stash. Beggar's first known appearance was at New York Ave. on 07/09/2026 [Huntington, NY].

Beggar at the Manor appears on 1998's "Thoughts of a Moth" and was just recently brought back into the rotation after an 89 show hiatus. The lyrics were written by D. Belline, H. Stanziale and C. Stanziale.

Lyrics

Step in through the doorway,
break the chains of my past.
Sirens were singing, I was tied to the mast
Cast out my fear of trouble and indecision
Life might change, I'll finish my mission

Back to my homeland where the suitors won't expect me
Dressed as an old man in disguise to protect me
Visions of them prowling 'round in Penelope's bed
If I had my way, I'd strike you down dead

I can't wait to get back home
Twenty years gone by alone
The beggar at the manor I'll be
I can see you, but you can't see me

Tyranny reigns over Ithaca's throne
The suitors I fear have stolen my home
I'll sever their heads and arms right down to their knees
I swear to God, I'll kill every man I see

(Repeat Chorus)
