Fair Sapphire

Fair Sapphire. Your eyes look like the falling rain lost inside the Darkest Sea
Drifting far away, fair Sapphire
Fair Sapphire, reaching out for every tree, fingers spun between the leaves
Restless to her soul, fair Sapphire
Time won’t rush across the face, her scent that flowers out of place
Driven by such sweet perfume, nestled in the brockade gloom
Fair Sapphire, the equal of the sun and moon, and everything that one can do
Must still give its way to fair Sapphire
Fair Sapphire, your river runs to fast to breach, swept up off those lonely feet.
Nothing can endure fair Sapphire
Cast aside such earthly ways, drawback from the modern age, and clothe it all in artifice
Nothings left unsaid, from heaven you are sent
So lay me down beside the fair Sapphire
Fair Sapphire (repeat)

Come sing
Come sow
Come and be
Come with masks
Come and dance
Offer unto the sea
Come kneel
The coronation of the herring queen
Come praise
Come raise
The sails again
Come by chance
But by night
Be gone my friend
Come kneel
At the crowning of the herring queen
Come run
Come the moon
Come the hare
Once were queen
Now a maid
At the harbour fair
Come kneel
At the crowning of the herring queen

She Casts Her Spell
06:07
|
|

Arise the golden haze, a whisper from the earth. A breaking of the Spring
Something has to give. Something’s taken hold.
Another world beckons you to stay.
She casts a spell, lets it float on by
A cloak of gold traps you in her eye
Oh to understand the power she commands
Taste such deathly wine, suspended lost in time
Lost inside the word, in flickers like the flame. You can but heed the call
Something has to give. Something’s taken hold.
Another world beckons you to stay.
She casts a spell, lets it float on by
A cloak of gold traps you in her eye
Oh to understand the power she commands
Taste such deathly wine, suspended lost in time
To watch the fading Sun, the seer of loving warmth
Wretched is the skin, that cannot heed its call.
A prisoner of scorching grace, another time a long lost face
Beholden to such Earthly ways, sink into these falling days.

Green fades to autumn
Light’s waning fast
Summer’s at rest now
And the barley whispers its last
And as the last rays of light
Fell behind brambles and burdened hedgerows
I saw him
In the fields
Ivy tangled and haloed by the dying sun
Blackbird scolded
My uninvited presence
And fog arose from the fields
And reclaimed him

Midsummer's Queen
05:11
|
|
||
|
I yield to thee Midsummer’s Queen ‘neath the cover of the Autumn tide
All light cast aside for the juniper bride. Serene and so gently she breathes.
Such arcane devices that she does employ. Her magic moves slowly to the ground.
She’s beautiful, the sum of all desires, flowers woven softly through her hair.
With the raise of her hand you will be damned, forever to bend to her needs.
That beauty still shines, controlling the mind. It’s all that there’s meant to be.
Such arcane devices that she does employ. Her magic moves slowly to the ground.
She’s beautiful, the sum of all desires, flowers woven softly through her hair.

We Fall Down
04:41
|
|
||
|
The call of your song, so strong that it keeps me from home
Sleep in the field, silently sings for the break of the day
Chorus
We fall down, at the end of the day, I’m nowhere and no one to be
All closes around, so late in the day, I find myself here again
Verse 2
I heed the call, summer it burns through my soul
Far far away, returning me to the heat of the day.
Repeat chorus

What an amazing album. Each track is pure gold - mystical auditory alchemy. It is almost impossible to pick a favorite track though the Bedlam Boys interpretation of the 1720 ballad, Mad Maudlin's Search for Her Tom of Bedlam, is utterly spellbinding.
