I know I can't be rid of you --
just the same, I'm not your dog.
Your father's folly brought you here;
you knew not the prize you sought.
| The moon is clear as bells today
| as the shadow of the pine grows long:
| The abbey walls are reaching out
| to cover the tracks of the gone.
For I was born a man like you --
but the forest reclaims her own.
Just as the night has touched me, so
shall moss enwreath your bones.
| And could I not have flown from here
| when first you pierced the shroud --
| when first I saw the torchlight and
| heard hoof-beats through the ground?
But I'd rather stay and see your face
and face a death that's known --
Than catch an arrow in the back
a hundred miles on.
| You can keep your belladonna, boys
| step up and bleed me dry --
| don't waste your gold on silver
| you can kill with the tool of your choice.
Now I know I'll miss the morning dew
but I know I could never abide --
In a world where they call the wild wicked
so the wicked forge chains for the wild.
The world of men shall be erased ...
Thank Heaven for that day.
wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this album up, I had only heard the first song but it was n-y-p so I got it anyhow. After listening through it at least 100 times in the last couple days, I can say with confidence that if there's every a re-release on the cassettes I'd get it in a heartbeat. Willow Barbeau
While everything is falling apart,
this album helps me to get through it, because i can't fall too,
Thanks.
P.S. A Stranger at the Door and Are you asking to be a sail are awesome too!
