Crows

One day the crows will come for you
Black feathers in the sky
One day the crows will come for you
When the lies you’re living die
When the levy breaks and the water falls
Pouring out like blood
When the fires burn and your walls all fall
Drowning in the mud
The lies you built and mask you wore
All burning in the night
Your broken heart can’t take any more
When the feathers reach the light
One day the crows will come for you
Black feathers in the sky
One day the crows will come for you
When the lies you’re living die
Black eyes shine and talons rip
The sickness from your frame
And in their song you hear a voice
Calling out your name
From the smoking ruins of your soul
They fashion wings of night
Wrap them round you, lift you up
You fly into the light
One day the crows will come for you
Black feathers in the sky
One day the crows will come for you
When the lies you’re living die
Blood to break to bone to balm
Heart to harm to hurt to heal
Wings to lift to charm to fly
Crows to fill the smoking sky
One day the crows will come for you
Black feathers in the sky
One day the crows will come for you
When the lies you’re living die

The Green Door

Seek me where the ivy grows
Tendrils twining tree and stone
Seek me where the west wind goes
Mankind’s ruins overgrown
Seek me in the forest heart
Roots of giants all around
Seek the hill that stands apart
Find the door into the ground
Three times you knock
Three turns you spin
Three tears you shed
To be let in
Can you hear the wildling song
Rising as the daylight fades
Can you see the dancing throng
In the shadow of the glade
Can you dance into the light
Spinning as the drumbeats sound
Will you come with us tonight
Follow me into the ground
Three times you knock
Three turns you spin
Three tears you shed
To be let in
A thousand years to dance and play
To love and live an endless May
A thousand hearts and hands to hold
Youth eternal in cups of gold
But seek you never to return
For familiar faces yearn
For you will wake up all alone
A thousand years away from home

Flames alight inside me
Draw the shadows to my side
Sable softly drapes me
New claws for me to hide
In my eyes the burning light
Still shows despite the dark
Softly passing through the night
Carrying the spark
Break the cage
Burn the mask
Shift my skin
Don’t look back
To the woods and wilds with me
Release the works of man
At last to set my soul free
To run while I still can
All the world now shifting
Race swift beneath the trees
A shadow cut and drifting
Faster than the breeze
Break the cage
Burn the mask
Shift my skin
Don’t look back
Break the chains
Slip the keep
Shift my skin
Take the leap
All the parts of me I hide
Swimming toward the light
All the words I never cried
Sung into the night
Bloody as the rising moon
Fierce as the coming storm
This is the truth within me
Regardless of my form
In a cloak of claw and fang
I see the myths were wrong
There was nothing brought this on me
It was in me all along

The Old Rowan Tree

A whisper of music that tickles your ears
Like a song half-remembered from childhood’s years
You reach out to catch it before it can fade
But it’s gone in an instant and lingers unplayed
Tie a ribbon ‘round the old rowan tree
In your pocket a clover or three
The honey bowl left on your doorstep will be
The key that will set you free, you free, the key that will set you free
The key that will set you free
A trick of the sunlight, a glimpse through the trees
A will-o-wisp beckons between rustling leaves
Don’t stray from the path cry the warnings of old
But you have your own faerie tales to be told
Tie a ribbon ‘round the old rowan tree
In your pocket a clover or three
The honey bowl left on your doorstep will be
The key that will set you free, you free, the key that will set you free
The key that will set you free
How far are you going, my changeling child
Through whisper-dark forests, across rivers wild?
What timorous beasties will follow you home
When you find your way back from the pathways you roam?
Tie a ribbon ‘round the old rowan tree
In your pocket a clover or three
The honey bowl left on your doorstep will be
The key that will set you free
Tie a ribbon ‘round the old rowan tree
In your pocket a clover or three
The honey bowl left on your doorstep will be
The key that will set you free, you free,
the key that will set you free
The key that will set you free

Gaze into the candle flame
The dancing gate of light
Hear the spirits call your name
Voices in the night
Blur the lines between the worlds
And walk the misty way
See the way the incense curls
Rising in the gray
Stranger than a fever dream
A world far wilder than it seems
Walk the night
Be the light
A candle in the dark
Play the drum beside the fire
Dancers whirling past
Magick as the flames grow higher
Power unsurpassed
Wake the crystal in your hand
Call it into life
Trace the sigil in the sand
Starlight in the knife
Stranger than a fever dream
A world far wilder than it seems
Walk the night
Be the light
A candle in the dark
Send a wave of mystery out over the earth
Heal the wound of history with candles on the hearth
The Earth now calls us up from dreams
Awake to weave Her will
Witches rising up like steam
Heirs of the ones they did not kill

This album is absolutely lovely-- the amazingly expressive readings from the book that inspired it, and the folksy songs that retell the tales in a brand-new way are lovely, and the lyrics are delightfully clever. Solidly an all-time favorite!

This is my favorite album so far. I don't think I've ever felt as seen as when listening to "Mermaids and Queers." "Slytherins and Misunderstood" finally convinced my mom to embrace her Slytherin identity!
