Nimue

In my arms you are safe forever
Though all of the world may burn
Stay by my side, as apprentice and bride
All my secrets arcane you will learn

A wise man may yet be a fool
When soft hands touch his face in the night
And promises made in a dark forest glade
Will vanish like the dew in the light

This is the seduction of power
The contempt that desires to rule
Thus my love did become my betrayer
And the artisan became the tool

And so did I teach her my secrets
And so did she learn, and learn well
And when she had learned, and her magics yet burned
She imprisoned me with my own spell

Entombed in my prison forever
I accept my just fate as my due
For the wizard who seeks to be Merlin
Must inevitably meet his Nimue.

I rode here on a Shetland Pony. I'd ask him to speak, but he's a little hoarse.

1 cup Neil Young
2 cups Moody Blues

Mix well and you get Moody Young Ginsberg.

The cat with the guitar was superb!

When we die, do we haunt the sky?
Do we lurk in the murk of the seas?
What then? Are we born again?
Just to sit asking questions like these?
I know, for I told me so,
And I’m sure each of you quite agrees:
The more it stays the same, the less it changes!
And that’s the majesty of rock

Metal that actually sounds like music, ancient legend, touching lyrics. I think I’m in love!

(Sounds like the recording equipment could use some upgrading. But to be fair, I have hyper-sensitive hearing, so it might not be noticable for most people.)

Easily the best song I’ve heard in the last 5 minutes.
