Of Parting

Farewell sweet earth and northern sky,
Forever blest, since here did lie
And here with lissom limbs did run
Beneath the Moon, beneath the Sun,
Lúthien Tinúviel
More fair than mortal tongue can tell.
Though all to ruin fell the world
And were dissolved and backward hurled
Unmade into the old abyss,
Yet were its making good, for this–
The dusk, the dawn, the earth, the sea–
That Lúthien for a time should be.

Milla, teach me how to view the world
As something that can be saved;
Even when all hope seems lost,
And death comes knocking at my door.
Take me by the hand and show me
How to kick at the darkness.
Show me how to find the light
When death comes knocking at my door.
Teach me how to fight;
Teach me how to laugh;
Milla please, sing to me
A song of hope.
Milla, teach me how to show my teeth
Even in the dark of night;
Be a source of light for me
If death comes knocking at my door.

The Doctor
02:54
|
|||
|
He's like fire and ice and rage;
He's like the night and the storm in the heart of the sun;
He's ancient and forever;
He burns at the center of time,
And he can see the turn of the universe.

I Won't Climb
03:38
|
|||
|
You made me into something that you could use,
But I have fallen so far, and I can't climb.
I won't climb
Back out again.

Demons run when a good man goes to war.
Night will fall and drown the sun,
When a good man goes to war.
Friendship dies and true love lies,
Night will fall and the dark will rise,
When a good man goes to war.
Demons run, but count the cost.
The battle's won but the child is lost.

Jutland, 1916

|
Fair the maidens, far
Into the sea they slip.
Come and crash your
Sailing ship and see
How far and fast, and fall
Into their waiting arms.
Oh, Jellicoe
Dark the locker, deep
Inside their heart it grows.
Far above, the sun
It drops and in the
Darkness comes
Into their warring hearts
Oh, Jellicoe

Simple Simon

Simple Simon went a-fishing
For to catch a whale.
All the water he had got
Was in his mother's pail.
He went to catch a dicky-bird,
He thought he could not fail,
Because he'd got a little salt
To put upon its tail.
He went to shoot a wild duck,
But Wild Duck got away;
Says Simon, "I can't hit him,
Because he will not stay!"

Monsters
03:09
|
|||
|
Through crimson stars and silent stars,
And nebulas like oceans set on fire;
Through empires of glass and civilizations of pure thought,
And a whole terrible universe of impossibilities;
There is one thing I can tell you:
Monsters are real
