Everlasting She
03:01
|
|||
|
A personality
staring right back at me
Clawing from under me
I have no cover
idiosyncrasy
now has a hold of me
really hard not to scream
I have discovered
She’s calling from the grave you see
She’s warning! Everlasting She…
I cannot bear to see
Her coming near to me
It’s an analogy
I must uncover
Masks of a different kind
Halloween’s early this time
Walking a thinning line
Learn how to love her
She’s calling from the grave you see
She’s warning! Everlasting She…
There’s no more one more time
Just treat her right this time
She will survive our crime
But we won’t recover
She’s calling from the grave you see
She’s warning! Everlasting She…
She’s calling from the grave to me
She’s warning! Everlasting She…

My mother told me
someday I would buy
galley with good oars
sail to distant shores
stand up on the prow
noble barque I steer
steady course for the haven
hew many foe-men
hew many foe-men
My mother told me
Someday I would glide
wind like the crow,
waves beneath my boat.
High above the clouds
Their voices I can hear
The Valkyrie await me
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
My mother told me
someday I would buy
galley with good oars
sail to distant shores
stand up on the prow
noble barque I steer
steady course for the haven
hew many foe-men
hew many foe-men
My mother told me
Someday I would die
Valkyrie there, 'lo
Come to take me home
Valhalla's gates askew
See my friends anew
The Aesir be awaiting
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
My mother told me
someday I would buy
galley with good oars
sail to distant shores
stand up on the prow
noble barque I steer
steady course for the haven
hew many foe-men
hew many foe-men

In The Dark
02:49

Seeker, Seeker, Seeker in the dark .
Seek her out when you seek the truth afar.
Seeker, Seeker search your soul.
Did you find what you were looking for?
Seeker, Seeker, Seek her in the dark.
Eyesight blurry with her head underwater.
Low low low low low low low.
Blood is so much thicker than water.
Low low low no no -oh- no no.
No no no no no -oh- no no.
Let me see and set me free.
Let me be here and free of doubt.
For I am lost and in this sea.
I wish only to be found.
I offer my body, my mind, my soul to the dark!
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark.
In the dark, in the dark, in the day-ark.
In the dark, in the dark, will I die-oh?
Will I die, in the dark? In the day-ark.
Will I die, in the dark, in the day-oh?
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark!
In the dark!
In the dark...

The Ent & The Entwife
10:23
|
|||
|
Ent:
When spring unfolds the beechen-leaf and sap is in the bough,
When light is on the wild-wood stream, and wind is on the brow,
When stride is long, and breath is deep, and keen the mountain air,
Come back to me! Come back to me, and say my land is fair!
Entwife:--
When Spring is come to garth and field, and corn is in the blade,
When blossom like a shining snow is on the orchard laid,
When sun and shower upon the earth with fragrance fill the air,
I'll linger here, and will not come, because my land is fair!
Ent:
When Summer lies upon the world, and in a noon of gold
Beneath the roof of sleeping leaves the dreams of trees unfold,
When woodland halls are green and cool, and wind is in the West,
Come back to me! Come back to me, and say my land is best!
Entwife:
When Summer warms the hanging fruit and burns the berry brown;
When straw is gold, and ear is white, and harvest comes to town;
When honey spills, and apple swells, though wind be in the West,
I'll linger here beneath the Sun, because my land is best!
Ent:
When Winter comes, the winter wild that hill and wood shall slay;
When trees shall fall and starless night devour the sunless day;
When wind is in the deadly East, then in the bitter rain
I'll look for thee, and call to thee; I'll come to thee again!
Entwife:
When Winter comes, and singing ends; when darkness falls at last;
When broken is the barren bough, and light and labour past;
I'll look for thee, and wait for thee, until we meet again:
Together we will take the road beneath the bitter rain!
Both:
Together we will take the road that leads into the West,
And far away will find a land where both our hearts may rest.
Together we will take the road that leads into the West,
And far away will find a land where both our hearts may rest.

The Wellerman
03:47
|
|||
|
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
She'd not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
No line was cut, no whale was freed
The captain's mind was not of greed
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
For forty days or even more
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
But still that whale did go (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

The Valheim Journey
05:09
|
|||
|
Valkyries flew me from battle to here.
Huginn tells me what I'm fated to hear.
Forgotten where I’m from now Valheim is home.
Forging bronze nails to sail through the storm
The lands lie in mist, yet I sail with my boat.
Swedish: Trots dimmiga landskap, jag seglar min båt
(Even though the landscape is foggy, I sail my boat)
To take the iron from crypts down below.
Swedish: Mot järnet i kryptan långt ner under jord
(Towards the iron in the crypt, far beneath the ground)
Silver veins glisten like sun on the snow.
Swedish: Se silvret skimra som solljus i snö
(See the silver shimmer, like sunshine/sunrays in snow)
Hauling it out, then sail back to my hall.
Swedish: (Jag släpar det långt, far sen hem med min båt
(Dragging it a long way, then go home with my boat)
Eikthyr lays slain, his head is hung above my throoooooooooone!
The Elder got cut down like the shrubs, the trees and the stooooooooone!
Bonemass lies waitin’, he’s aiming to poison our soooooouuuuls!
Defeating these foes for no-one, but the Gods alone…
What’s left in these misty lands, no-one who knows……….
Ashes and mist
Swedish: Aska och rök (ashes and smoke/mist)
Fire and cold
Swedish: Kyla och eld (cold and fire)
Ashes and mist
Swedish: Aska och rök (ashes and smoke/mist)

All Hands, man your battle stations. We are under attack.

Arrrr mateys, boardin’ this vessel be nay in accordance with the law!
Hack the rig, kill them all! Have sem fun!
Well what’re ye all starin
Verse 1:
When I’m out in space, just drifting by.
And I see a raid, on a base nearby.
I have no doubt, to do what’s right.
Turning up the sound, and the spotlights.
Chorus:
When the signal comes
Into the spacecraft
Out into space yes
That’s where we’ll be
We are creators
Put your trust in us
This is the promise
That we will keep.
Space Enginee--ee--eers!
Space engineers. (silent echo)
Verse 2
Cruising through space, on the outer fringe.
Hear a call for aid, they’re signalling.
Closing in, their situation dire.
As fuel burns and the gatlings fire.

Fuel Critical.
Oxygen Critical.
Energy critical fuel critical oxygen critical.

Lura's Magic
03:48
|
|||
|
In the snow she walked and she called and she called and she’s cold and she’s cold.
She called for her love as she walked through the cold and the frost and the snow.
And before her love got frozen she came to understand
That she’d lose herself if she ever came back from this land…
Whisper chorus BART
Snowflakes, press upon your skin, don’t let them in, don’t let them in.
Snowflakes, pass before your eyes, nowhere to hide.
Lura’s out of luck, was it love was it love was it laughter and love?
There’s a hole inside as she grasps for the things that she is and she was.
Nothing left of her she’s broken, she came to understand
She left herself behind in that cold and ever freezing land...
INSTRUMENTAL
Whisper chorus
Snowflakes, press upon your skin, don’t let them in. Don’t let them in.
Snowflakes, fall before your eyes, nowhere to hide. Nowhere to hide.
Snowflakes, snowflakes, SNOWFLAKES, SNOWFLAKES x2
Deep inside, deep inside, DEEP INSIDE, DEEEEP INSIIIIIDE x2
Maaaaagic came just in tiiiiiiiiime
Blazing bright inside like fiiiiiiire
Her heartstone is like iiiiiiiiiiice
Her magic is teal and whiiiiiiite
Magic
Magic
Magic
Magic came just in tiiiiiiiiime

Lament for Severus
05:11
|
|||
|
Near the end… in a land…
far in the North.
A castle stands… its towers grand…
witchcraft And wizardry are taught.
In this castle you'd find a man
In The Dungeons, dark and grey,
His black cloak sweeped not far behind
And they called him Severus Snape...
In the Dark… he played his part…
This master of the mind.
in his heart… the truth imparts
Paying guilt in kind
He has sworn a lasting oath
And he knew what was at stake,
In the light and shadows both,
For Lily, always.
Expecto Patronum
Sadverse:
Now who will mourn all o’er your grave?
Now there’s no more lies.
You won’t hear the words of praise,
From the boy who had her eyes.
