You spotted snakes with double tongue Thorny hedgehogs be not seen Newts and blindworms do no wrong Come not near our fairy queen Come not near our fairy queen You spotted snakes with double tongue Thorny hedgehogs be not seen Newts and blindworms do no wrong Come not near our fairy queen Come not near our fairy queen Philomel with melody Sing on our sweet lullaby Lullaby lullaby lull lull la lullaby Never harm nor spell nor charm Come our lovely lady nigh so good night with lullaby lullaby Weaving spiders come not here Hence, you long-legg’d spinners, hence Beetles black, approach not near Worm nor snail do no offence Worm nor snail do no offence Philomel with melody Sing on our sweet lullaby Lullaby lullaby lull lull la lullaby Never harm nor spell nor charm Come our lovely lady nigh so good night with lull la bye You spotted snakes with double tongue Thorny hedgehogs be not seen Newts and blindworms do no wrong Come not near our fairy queen Come not near our fairy queen Philomel with melody Sing on our sweet lullaby Lullaby lullaby lull lull la lullaby Never harm nor spell nor charm Come our lovely lady nigh so good night with lullaby

I must go and walke the woed so wild And wander here and there In dred and dedly fere, For where I trust I am begild, And all for one. Thus am I banished for my blis By craft and false pretens Faultless, without offens, As of return no certen is, And all for fer of one My bed shall be under the grenwod tree, A tuft of brakes under my hed, As one from joye were fled. (Thus from) my lif day by day I flee And all for fer of one

The hern flew east the hern flew west Lully-lullay, lully-lullay She bore her o'er the fair forest The falcon hath born my mak away She bore her o'er the meadows green Lully-lullay, lully-lullay All to espy what might be seen The falcon hath born my mak away Oh, then she saw an orchard fair Lully-lullay, lully-lullay Where grow'th the apple and the pear The falcon hath born my mak away And in that orchard stands a hall Lully-lullay, lully-lullay Was clad all o'er with purple and pall The falcon hath born my mak away And in that hall there stands a bower Lully-lullay, lully-lullay Was covered o'er with periwink flower The falcon hath born my mak away Beneath that bower there stands a bed Lully-lullay, lully-lullay With silken sheets of gold so red The falcon hath born my mak away And in that bed that lies a knight Lully-lullay, lully-lullay Whose wounds doth bleed both day and night The falcon hath born my mak away Under that bed there runs a flood Lully-lullay, lully-lullay One half runs water, the other runs blood The falcon hath born my mak away By the bed side there stands a stone Lully-lullay, lully-lullay A leal maiden was sat thereon The falcon hath born my mak away With silver needle and silken thread Lully-lullay, lully-lullay She stems the wounds where they doth bleed The falcon hath born my mak away

Barred from the magic by the tyranny of distance Almost broken by this persistence Oceans are obstacles to this existence Seared by the flame of this burning instance I’ll make my own magic right here We’ll make our own magic right here All the tiny fires shimmering in the night All the tiny fires shimmering in the night All the tiny fires shimmering in the night All the tiny fires Lost on an ocean of blissed indignation Starlight is but one source of navigation Succumbed to the wave flows of blind resignation Lanterns in darkness guide illumination All the tiny fires shimmering in the night All the tiny fires shimmering in the night All the tiny fires shimmering in the night All the tiny fires shimmering in the night All the tiny fires…

Lull 05:55
Gold coin from under tongue Delivers you at speed of gun Time you think you have none left But time will bind us forever yet Like unwatered flowers She shrivels and dies Thinking ne'er again will she ever see her eyes Ever see her eyes Torn hessian you are Cloth to wipe your mother's tears To give the world some light To give more than day and night Like unwatered flowers She shrivels and dies Thinking ne'er again will she ever see her eyes Ever see her eyes Lull lull me down to the underground Suck in a string brings you everything Light not found by night within your sight How can it be I am everything Stifled sapling shrinking from frost They realise not the reason for their loss But like strands of grass divided in the wind I will return to her to correct my sin Floating down like falling feather Snow lands languidly upon my head Suffer by my side To keep earth alive Lull lull me down...

Can I take the thought from your head? I will punch it ’til it leaves you alone Bend it until it looks as I see it Paint it the colour of untruths So you will know, so you will know, so you will know So you will know, so you will know, so you will know Can I drop it at your feet for you to stamp on? I will kick it down the laneway (and cover in the mud) And it will tumble away and it will tumble away And it will tumble and tumble and tumble away So you will know, so you will know, so you will know So you will know, so you will know, so you will know And then there will be space For your mind to break free You are flooded by the overwhelm All are flooded by your overwhelm

Katavasia 09:33
Let me share my salt with you, let me share my salt Let me share my salt with you, let me share my salt Are you worth your salt? I am worth my salt Are you worth your slat? I am worth more than my salt I share my lyre, my salt with you I will share my lyre and salt with you I come to you with my lyre and my salt For I must beg your advice For I beg for my love’s life back Hear you know her heart’s cry too? I traded salt for secret mist to pass the heads of three Lyre’s veil slows breath to slumber Mercurial glow made fire to waltz around, diverting keen eyes A lyre’s note, like fireworks, penetrates to detain common sense They could not call! A whispered ear attempts persuasion by mirror of his love for her He thinks on this Which way to let the lever drop Which way to let the lever drop Which way to let the lever drop Which way to let the lever drop… Don’t you know which way to let it drop? I see you love as I do Please I beg you Look ahead not behind Look ahead not behind Look ahead not behind Look ahead not behind… On the fulcrum of death and return from it, On hinge of safety and sure failure I stand I stand But for a moment I looked back But for a moment I fall Landing out of Landing out of salt
