Dyelle and the Spell - Lyrics
Dyelle down a dirt path, sees a garden enter viewThere she finds an old man humming tunes and picking fruitHe sees the girl approaching, says“It’s lucky you came through.See every plant around me has a very special use.I’m making an elixir, if I can make it quickerit’s important that I do.One fruit I need to pick is at the tippy tipof this tree, could use some help from you…And if you help me pick it, there’s a gift you’ll be given.”Dyelle thinks about how recently she almost diedAll because a stranger who seemed nice enough, ha...

Guard: Sariah! …Sariah!Sariah: Hello?Guard: It’s your brother, he’s been hu—Sariah: Lay him there, quickly.Oh, my little brother, it hurts to see your painFor too long have you had to be braveThe prophet called you chosen from such a young ageWhile other children played, you practiced bladesAnd I knew it was impossible to shield youSo the prophet taught me magic meant to heal youBut a thought crosses my mindI could heal you only halfwayAnd little brother that wayYou’d be safe in bedAnd the danger could fall to other menAm I strong eno...

"Call You Friend" - Lyrics
Oh, every part of Martin wants to find a way to climbTo the bottom of the chasm to make sure his friend’s aliveBut it’s so deep, it might even take a weekTo reach the bottom if you had a long ladder in reachTimmund’s passed out and he’s lookin’ pretty hurt(And if he don’t get attention, then it’s gonna get worse)So Martin takes a moment, sheds a tear from his eyeAnd he climbs on the Beast and he rides—There’s a little more life than you’d expect at the bottom of the chasmThere’s a stream and some trees and a dull glowFrom ...
"Battle at Bastion's Bridge" - Lyrics
Let me tell you of the chasm, of the Spring/Fall battleFormed back when the seasons met up on the battlefieldOn one side are golden fields of wheat and cattleOn the other side’s a forest, lush and greenThe chasm runs deepWhere once there was a riverWhen Spring and Fall’s warWas broken up by Father WinterThe river was frozenEach side, a season choseThen the ice taken awayLet me speak of Bastion’s BridgeBuilt by Mayor BastionSeveral hundred years after seasons dropped their formsIt was made by many menAcross the Spring/Fall chasmSo Mayor Ba...

"Practice Blades" - Lyrics
Every night, while Half Elf makes them all a mealTimmund takes his blade and Martin out into a fieldSays “You’ve got your Daddy’s dagger. If you want that to matter, then you’ve gotta learn how to use it.”Every night, Timmund shows a few techniquesRiposte, parry and then how to block an enemy“You’d rather entertain but this will keep you safer. Said you wanna learn, now prove it.There’s a time for singing a time for laughing now…It’s time to practice bladesYou’ve gotta swing this way, that way and then the otherTime to pra...

"More than the Swamp - Lyrics
“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 swampHas to be more than these treesHas to be more than the moss and the lichen and meThere has to be more than these frogsHas to...

"Timmund and the Sacred Blade" - Lyrics
Ellomin’s council, pulled Timmund to the sideAnd they all took off their hoods, which they never doAnd looked him in the eye, with a sympathetic lookAnd they said“We know it must seem, that the prophecyto you, is such a burden.”But Timmund said“No. I don’t think so. I just think it’s poorly worded.Yeah, I’m down to risk my life but I don’t wanna lose it.That last line of the prophecy, let’s lose it.I’ll take the Sacred Blade and make Dread Templar fear my name.But when it’s all through, I’m not dying too.”Timmund set o...

"The Watch" - Lyrics
I've had some people request the lyrics to my series of fantasy songs collected in the "Book One" playlist on my Spotify so over the next few days I'll be typing up the lyrics to each song and posting them here for posterity. Excuse the preamble, here are the lyrics to "The Watch".One must be quick as a hareOne must be silent as shadowIf you’re to head offAnd not tryin’ to get caughtBy The WatchOne must move low in the grassOne must be quiet in shallowsIf you’re to head offAnd not tryin’ to get caughtBy The Watch...
I made a patreon
Oh hello,I made a patreon.I've been self-producing and releasing music for a couple years now and have been lucky enough to find some support along the way. Sharing my music has always been about the creative process for me and financial stability has always been a distant afterthought. This has given me the chance to make unorthodox and frankly unhinged music which is something I'm proud of and have no intention of changing. That being said, me am need money. I have ambitions of making merch, touring and recording an album in a profess...
