"More than the Swamp - Lyrics
🕑 Added 2024-10-24 21:04:51 +0000 UTC“We turn our attention now to Dyelle, princess of the Swampfolk.”
Sequestered in her lavish room in Gallow Grove, she overlooks the night time marsh.
As she watches the crickets and the toads her mind wanders elsewhere.
She’s engaged to be married to the Duke of Grimcrest as per her Father’s request.
Dyelle however has other ambitions and…well, I’ll let her tell you the rest”
“There has to be more than the swamp
Has to be more than these trees
Has to be more than the moss and the lichen and me
There has to be more than these frogs
Has to be more than these logs
Has to be more than these bogs and these puddles and streams
And maybe I’m delusional and I’m where I’m meant to be
But how am I to know if I’m not free?
I hear adventure calling me
And I’m listening
I hear adventure calling me
I hear it, I hear it, I hear it
I don’t know where I’d go
But I’d love to see
And even though my Father says I’m wrong
There has to be more than the swamp
I’ll take my Grandmother’s bow
And wait for my Father to sleep
I’ll leave my crown on my pillow and leave here discreet
There has to be more for my life
My Father would give me as wife
But I am not just a possession to give or to keep
And maybe I’ll regret this but the choice is up to me
Be pampered and be captured or be free
I hear adventure calling me
And I’m listening
I hear adventure calling me
I hear it, I hear it, I hear it
I don’t know where I’d go
But I’d love to see
And even though my Father says I’m wrong
There has to be more than the swamp
Theres a little more light through the canopy
I can see, as I move on
There’s a little more breeze at the top of the trees
And a lot less fog
No butler’s gonna bring me dinner so I gotta use my bow to get a bird out of a tree (yeah)
And the travel is rough but I’m toughening up it seems (yeah)
I can feel it, subtle changes
I can do this, I can make it
(I hear, I hear, I hear)
I hear adventure calling me
And I’m listening
I hear adventure calling me
I hear it, I hear it, I hear it
I don’t know where I’d go
But I’d love to see
And even though my Father says I’m wrong
There has to be more than the swamp"
