Urbarrana 04:00
The moon is high And darkness comes When there's no light Anymore Fear of darkness In the light of the moon Lost in madness In the light of the moon Here men have called Here wolves have come Their souls will meet To be one Here is sharing Here is judgement Here is a choice Urbarrana She's the huntress In the light of the moon She's on a quest In the light of the moon He chooses death She'll hunt him down There'll be no rest For his heart He chooses love And wolf and man Will roam the earth Together/Forever Lost in darkness In the light of the moon Heart in wildness In the light of the moon She's the huntress In the light of the moon She's on a quest In the light of the moon Lost in darkness In the light of the moon Heart in wildness In the light of the moon Fear of darkness In the light of the moon Lost in madness In the light of the moon

Are you going to Scarborough Fair Are you going to Scarborough Fair Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Remember me to one who lives there For she once was a true love of mine For he once was a true love of mine Tell her to make me a cambric shirt Ask him to find me an acre of land Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Without no seam nor fine needlework, and then Between the salt water and the sea-strand Then she'll be a true love of mine For then he'll be a true love of mine Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well Ask him to plough it with a lamb's horn Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Which never sprung water nor rain ever fell, and then And sow it all with one peppercorn Then she'll be a true love of mine For then he'll be a true love of mine Tell her to dry it on yonder thorn Ask him to reap it with a sickle of leather Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Which never bore blossom since Adam was born, and then And gather it up with a rope made of heather Then she'll be a true love of mine For then he'll be a true love of mine Ask her to do me this courtesy When he has done and finished his work Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme And ask for a like favour from me, and then Ask him to come for his cambric shirt Then she'll be a true love of mine For then he'll be a true love of mine If you say that you can't, I shall reply Say that you can't, then I shall reply Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Oh, let me know that at least you will try Or you'll never be a true love of mine Or you'll never be a true love of mine Love imposes impossible tasks Love imposes impossible tasks Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme But none more than any heart would ask I must know if you are a true love of mine I must know if you are a true love of mine

The Weaver 02:20
When I know how to weave I'll be a pretty spider I'll catch them in my web Those six legged memories With their hideous coloured wings And their ugly rusted stings They're more deadly than my poison They'll return to the past they come from These times I'd rather forget It wasn't me, t'was someone else I'll catch them all in my web They'll make a good diner They'll burn in the morning light Drowned away, washed away in a new delight This time I'll try to forget Those tearful times I've come to regret I'll catch them all in my web And I'll make them suffer They'll be wrapped in strings of light Blown away, swept away in a whirl of fright

Here I am Still breathing Tell me how it is that Everyone's screaming No-one hears me crying Tragic pantomime Deafening silence Have to turn to ice Burn into ashes Hold my breath Keeping still Tell me now will it end Everyone's dreaming No-one feels me drowning No one notices Life under the earth Mortuary dances War masks will unfurl Hide my fears Keep breathing Tell me how it will end Everyone's freezing No-one sees me fading Tragic pantomime Deafening silence Have to turn to ice Burn into ashes I'm trapped under ice

February 02:18
So cold, so cold Snow upon stories untold Maybe we could start anew Counting till twenty-two So cold, so cold Wait until stories unfold For you'll soon be unfrozen Counting till twenty-seven So cold, so cold Snow upon stories untold How I wish you never knew Counting till twenty-two So cold, so cold Wait until stories unfold Mourn the path you've not chosen Counting till twenty-seven So cold, so cold Snow upon stories untold It's time to bid them adieu Counting till twenty-two So cold, so cold Wait until stories unfold You can make your own heaven Counting till twenty-seven So cold, so cold Snow upon stories untold You will never have a clue Counting till twenty-two So cold, so cold Wait until stories unfold Wish my heart would come open Counting till twenty-seven
