Midsummer's Queen

I yield to thee Midsummer’s Queen ‘neath the cover of the Autumn tide
All light cast aside for the juniper bride. Serene and so gently she breathes.
Such arcane devices that she does employ. Her magic moves slowly to the ground.
She’s beautiful, the sum of all desires, flowers woven softly through her hair.
With the raise of her hand you will be damned, forever to bend to her needs.
That beauty still shines, controlling the mind. It’s all that there’s meant to be.
Such arcane devices that she does employ. Her magic moves slowly to the ground.
She’s beautiful, the sum of all desires, flowers woven softly through her hair.

Fair Sapphire

Fair Sapphire. Your eyes look like the falling rain lost inside the Darkest Sea
Drifting far away, fair Sapphire
Fair Sapphire, reaching out for every tree, fingers spun between the leaves
Restless to her soul, fair Sapphire
Time won’t rush across the face, her scent that flowers out of place
Driven by such sweet perfume, nestled in the brockade gloom
Fair Sapphire, the equal of the sun and moon, and everything that one can do
Must still give its way to fair Sapphire
Fair Sapphire, your river runs to fast to breach, swept up off those lonely feet.
Nothing can endure fair Sapphire
Cast aside such earthly ways, drawback from the modern age, and clothe it all in artifice
Nothings left unsaid, from heaven you are sent
So lay me down beside the fair Sapphire
Fair Sapphire (repeat)

Come sing
Come sow
Come and be
Come with masks
Come and dance
Offer unto the sea
Come kneel
The coronation of the herring queen
Come praise
Come raise
The sails again
Come by chance
But by night
Be gone my friend
Come kneel
At the crowning of the herring queen
Come run
Come the moon
Come the hare
Once were queen
Now a maid
At the harbour fair
Come kneel
At the crowning of the herring queen

She Casts Her Spell

Arise the golden haze, a whisper from the earth. A breaking of the Spring
Something has to give. Something’s taken hold.
Another world beckons you to stay.
She casts a spell, lets it float on by
A cloak of gold traps you in her eye
Oh to understand the power she commands
Taste such deathly wine, suspended lost in time
Lost inside the word, in flickers like the flame. You can but heed the call
Something has to give. Something’s taken hold.
Another world beckons you to stay.
She casts a spell, lets it float on by
A cloak of gold traps you in her eye
Oh to understand the power she commands
Taste such deathly wine, suspended lost in time
To watch the fading Sun, the seer of loving warmth
Wretched is the skin, that cannot heed its call.
A prisoner of scorching grace, another time a long lost face
Beholden to such Earthly ways, sink into these falling days.
