Enter Faery<\/b><\/p>\n
Oh my son there’s much you have to learn
\nYour journey starts this day
\nBeware my son the treacheries of the Ash
\nAnd of the Alder Maid
\nOh my son there’s much you have to learn
\nYour journey starts this day
\nYour shadow seeks you even now
\nGodspeed you on your perilous way<\/p>\n
Oh my son prepare yourself for many
\nTrials lie in wait
\nDo not let fear control your heart
\nOr surely it shall seal your fate
\nPrepare yourself for what’s to come
\nThe many battles you must face
\nThere’s magic deep inside these woods
\nThat’s lived here since the ancient days<\/p>\n
The Ash<\/b><\/p>\n
Your petty contrivance
\nTo glean from your plight
\nA solace from fear
\nIs a pitiful sight
\nI’ll chase you down
\nTill I get what I need
\nIt’s a fools errand running
\n‘Cause you can’t outrun me
\nI will hunt you down<\/p>\n
I need to have it all
\nI need to have it now
\nI’ll kill to have it
\nSpilling blood
\nTo get what I need<\/p>\n
The Beech<\/b><\/p>\n
I was running for my life
\nFrantically I
\nWas trying to find
\nA way to escape
\nWere you waiting the night
\nThe tempest from hell
\nServed both of us well
\nAnd threw me in your arms<\/p>\n
Your kiss brushed up against my cheek
\nLike evening winds upon the leaves
\nYour voice was a melody
\nUnerringly sweet
\nSinging<\/p>\n
Oh child don’t be afraid
\nThe nightmare will do you no harm
\nWhile you’re safe in my arms
\nLet me sing you my songs
\nTill the dawn comes to wash you with light
\nOh child don’t be afraid
\nLet me brush all the tears from your face
\nJust stay here with me till you fall asleep
\nAnd I’ll sing you the dreams of a tree<\/p>\n
The storm raged all around
\nThe demon behind
\nConsuming my mind
\nWith panic and dread
\nThe nightmare almost took my life
\nBut fortune and fate
\nConspired with his hate
\nTo throw me in your arms<\/p>\n
Your arms around me gently wrapped
\nMy head to your heart you clasped
\nThe world slowed and peace relapsed
\nAnd all seemed so right<\/p>\n
Oh child don’t be afraid
\nThe nightmare will do you no harm
\nWhile you’re safe in my arms
\nLet me sing you my songs
\nTill the dawn comes to wash you with light
\nOh child don’t be afraid
\nLet me brush all the tears from your face
\nJust stay here with me till you fall asleep
\nAnd I’ll sing you the dreams of a tree<\/p>\n
I saw the ne’er before
\nI see the nevermore
\nBut love and help and pain, beautiful one,
\nHave made thee mine till all my days are done.<\/p>\n
Such beautiful dusky skies
\nWere glowing softly in your eyes
\nAnd under that twilight
\nMy fear finally died<\/p>\n
Lady of the Marble<\/b><\/p>\n
In this alabaster tomb you lie
\nSo I’ll stay here till the day I die
\nSinging you songs
\nAs the years fade away
\nHoping one day maybe you’ll sing along
\nThrough the mist of hope and memory
\nCan you hear my lonely melody
\nThrough marble walls
\nCan you hear as I call
\nCan you hear my heart beating with yours<\/p>\n
If I turned to stone beside you
\nCould we dream together
\nSo you’d never
\nBe alone
\nBut if I could just hold you for a moment
\nThat would be better
\nThan lying forever
\nDreaming together
\nSo close<\/p>\n
Oh my sleeping beauty would a kiss
\nPlaced upon your marble lips
\nBring back to life
\nAll the joy in your eyes
\nThat sparkled before you were cursed
\nI will search through every distant land
\nTo find a spell that’s strong enough
\nTo free your hands
\nJust for a chance
\nTo ask you to dance
\nWith me
\nFor the rest of our lives<\/p>\n
If I turned to stone beside you
\nCould we dream together
\nSo you’d never
\nBe alone
\nBut if I could just hold you for a moment
\nThat would be better
\nThan lying forever
\nDreaming together
\nSo close<\/p>\n
Just a glance
\nJust a touch
\nJust a smile
\nIs enough
\nJust a word
\nJust a sigh
\nJust a kiss
\nBefore I die<\/p>\n
Rusted Armor<\/b><\/p>\n
A knight in rusted armor
\nWho’s always on the run
\nAn aimless weary traveler
\nIs all that I’ve become
\nMy heart is numb and tired
\nFrom all my faults and lies
\nThe apathy within me
\nSteals the tears I wish I cried<\/p>\n
There is no redemption
\nTo be won without my blood
\nSo I’ll wear this rusted armor
\nAnd face the coming flood
\nJust give me one more battle
\nSo I may die in peace
\nAmidst a glorious struggle
\nI will fall and slowly bleed<\/p>\n
I have lost my taste for life
\nAnd all has turned to grey
\nSince I took off my armor
\nFor that cursed Alder maid
\nI was proud upon a time
\nBut now I’m on the run
\nI cannot hold my head high
\nKnowing all the things I’ve done<\/p>\n
There is no redemption
\nTo be won without my blood
\nSo I’ll wear this rusted armor
\nAnd face the coming flood
\nJust give me one more battle
\nSo I may die in peace
\nAmidst a glorious struggle
\nI will fall and slowly bleed<\/p>\n
I will win my honor
\nIf it takes ten thousand days
\nI will wear this armor
\nUntil I’ve cleaned these stains
\nI will fight for honor
\nNo matter what stands in my way
\nI will wash this armor
\nIn a storm of evil blades<\/p>\n
I will find redemption
\nI will sacrifice my blood
\nI’ll wear this rusted armor
\nAnd face the coming flood
\nSo give me one more battle
\nTo end these darkened dreams
\nI’ll finish what I started
\nTo wash this armor clean
\nI will wash this armor clean<\/p>\n
Maid of the Alder<\/b><\/p>\n
Why’d you run from me
\nThe one, my love, who set you free
\nI sang my heart out
\nTo break the curse that hung around
\nYou
\nOh my love
\nNo
\nPlease don’t go<\/p>\n
Our love is like snows and tempests
\nRolling endless
\nIt’s torrents and water sprites
\nDancing all night
\nOh look in my eyes and you’ll see
\nDrink in my beauty
\nOn this sultry summer night
\nTill the dawns condemns us to light
\nIt’s just us at last together
\nWould you stay forever
\n(remix of past vocals)<\/p>\n
Oh I wish tonight
\nWould last a whole lifetime
\nYour voice and story
\nHave trapped me now completely in
\nYou
\nOh my love
\nNo
\nPlease don’t go<\/p>\n
Our love is like snows and tempests
\nRolling endless
\nIt’s torrents and water sprites
\nDancing all night
\nOh look in my eyes and you’ll see
\nDrink in my beauty
\nOn this sultry summer night
\nTill the dawns condemns us to light
\nIt’s just us at last together
\nWould you stay forever<\/p>\n
We’ll be drunk on moonlight and love tonight
\nUntil the dawn condemns us to light
\nLet’s get drunk on moonlight and love tonight
\nUntil the dawn condemns us to light<\/p>\n
Shadow<\/b><\/p>\n
I’m just the ghost of a man
\nWandering faceless
\nI’ve been running from this shadow
\nBehind me for ages
\nOh it gets to my soul
\nThis twisted road
\nI run
\nIn that little house
\nAway in the woods
\nOh I would take it all back
\nIf only I could
\nI can’t escape
\nFlashbacks from that day
\nSo black<\/p>\n
I’m sinking into my shadow
\nSinking down down down
\nI’m spinning out in these shallows
\nSpinning round round round
\nWhat you gonna do
\nWhen your shadow
\nHunts you down but pray
\nAnd the blackest night
\nAnd the brightest day
\nDon’t wipe his grin away<\/p>\n
I can’t shake this darkness
\nIt’s taken my mind
\nIt’s turning all the world grey
\nAnd clouding my eyes
\nIt won’t let me be
\nTill it’s all I see
\nAll day
\nOh my dark companion
\nWon’t give me a rest
\nSometimes I hope maybe
\nIt’s all in my head
\nI hope one day soon
\nMaybe I can lose
\nThese chains<\/p>\n
I’m sinking into my shadow
\nSinking down down down
\nI’m spinning out in these shallows
\nSpinning round round round
\nWhat you gonna do
\nWhen your shadow
\nHunts you down but pray
\nAnd the blackest night
\nAnd the brightest day
\nDon’t wipe his grin away<\/p>\n
Oh I knew that day
\nI should not have stayed
\nBut instead of running
\nI made myself at home
\nI remember now
\nAll the sinking doubts
\nBefore I opened the door
\nThat’s made my heart so cold
\nI can’t get away
\nI can’t shake these chains
\nWill I ever outrun this shadow to the grave<\/p>\n
River<\/b><\/p>\n
Look it up in the book if you need to. Too much to write it out here.<\/p>\n
Cosmo<\/b><\/p>\n
I thought I was dreaming
\nWhen I saw you the first time
\nI still can’t quite
\nBelieve our lives aligned
\nThe mirror that brought us together
\nNow holds us apart
\nI’m still not sure just how far
\nBut I’ll make this room
\nInto a home for you
\nAnd I’ll do all I can
\nTo let you know I’m here<\/p>\n
Break this spell
\nI will prove my love
\nBreak this mirror
\nI’ll send it to hell
\nBut alas could it be that I care
\nMore for your love than I dare admit
\nIf our love was lost
\nWould such a cost
\nMake it worth being free<\/p>\n
I know though it’s clouded by passion
\nYour love will be pure
\nI’m trying so hard to be sure
\nTo live in this curse any longer
\nIf you were not there
\nIs not a life I could bear
\nBut this room has grown
\nTo slowly feel like home
\nAnd I’ll do all I can
\nTo let you know I’m here<\/p>\n
Break this spell
\nI will prove my love
\nBreak this mirror
\nI’ll send it to hell
\nBut alas could it be that I care
\nMore for your love than I dare admit
\nIf our love was lost
\nWould such a cost
\nMake it worth being free<\/p>\n
I will not
\nWait to be
\nWilling to
\nSet you free
\nWhat is this can it be true
\nI must make haste and go to you
\nThe curse is shattered with the glass
\nForever yours I’m free at last
\nDeath made me bold
\nYou love me truly now I know
\nHave I atoned
\nWhat is this death you speak of,
\nWhy are you so cold?
\nDo I love you just a little
\nOh you’ve proved it now and I love you
\nTruly<\/p>\n
The Wise Woman’s Song<\/b><\/p>\n
Oh light of dead and dying days
\nWhen love is lost and takes the road
\nIn a rosy mist and moonlit maze
\nO’er the peakless paths of snow<\/p>\n
What is left the broken soul
\nThat cries like a wounded dove
\nThe only wine that’s strong enough to make it whole
\nIs to love, and love, and love<\/p>\n
Even in the worst moments of your distress
\nRemember there’s something I know
\nI may not always tell
\nBut despite all the pain
\nThe reason would satisfy your soul<\/p>\n
Better to lie at the waters source
\nThan strive in a sea of waves
\nTo live in the love that floweth forth
\nThan the love that comes your way<\/p>\n
Even in the worst moments of your distress
\nRemember there’s something I know
\nI may not always tell
\nBut despite all the pain
\nThe reason would satisfy your soul<\/p>\n
Be thy heart a well of love my child
\nFlowing free and sure
\nFor cisterns of love, though undefiled
\nKeep not the spirit pure<\/p>\n
Giants<\/b><\/p>\n
In the fields alone
\nAs the evening approached
\nShe held to her breast
\nThe locket he gave her before he left
\nThen a lull in the breeze
\nBrought the sound of feet
\nAnd the sound of a cry
\nTo her ears
\nOh lady thy lover has died<\/p>\n
We will sing
\nOf our hero prince forever
\nWho vanquished our oppressors
\nWhen he slew the giants
\nHe will live in our memory
\nIn this song of reverie
\nWe will sing of the blood he gave in battle
\nOf the giants slain like cattle
\nWhen he died for freedom<\/p>\n
A tear from her eye
\nStained her cheek as she sighed
\nThen the wind caught her hair
\nAnd swept over the hills as she softly declared
\nThe tears that I cry
\nAre a price well worthwhile
\nTo have loved such a man
\nAll women will envy my story throughout this land<\/p>\n
We will sing
\nOf our hero prince forever
\nWho vanquished our oppressors
\nWhen he slew the giants
\nHe will live in our memory
\nIn this song of reverie
\nWe will sing of the blood he gave in battle
\nOf the giants slain like cattle
\nWhen he died for freedom<\/p>\n
Up to the throne they brought
\nThe pale and lifeless boy
\nThe old king smiled like a winter’s day
\nWith a pained and deathlike joy<\/p>\n
Oh sing
\nOf your hero prince forever
\nWho vanquished your oppressors
\nWhen he slew the giants
\nLet him live in your memory
\nIn a song of reverie<\/p>\n
White Wolf<\/b><\/p>\n
There’s something off
\nSomething fell in the air
\nI can’t put my finger on it
\nBut I know it’s there
\nSometimes the worst things
\nWe don’t even see
\nBecause they’re sitting before us
\nSo obviously<\/p>\n
In Paradisum<\/b><\/p>\n
In paradisum deducant te angeli
\nIn tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres
\nEt perducant te in civitatem
\nSanctam Ierusalem
\nChorus angelorum te suscipiat
\nEt cum Lazaro quondam paupere
\nAetername habeas requiem<\/p>\n
Epilogue<\/b><\/p>\n
Under the shadow of a great ancient beech
\nThat lay on the edge of the field<\/p>\n
A great good is coming<\/p>\n
I lay with my eyes closed listening to the leaves
\nLost in the ocean of sound<\/p>\n
A great good is coming<\/p>\n
Few have at all times the simplicity and courage
\nTo believe this truth
\nWhat we call evil is only the best form
\nThat we allow good to assume<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
