Act One: Scene One –– The Earth

lyrics

When I was younger I always thought that you could fake it
I'd fantasise about the lies I'd pull for me to make it
You have to realise, it wasn't the fame or the money ––
I love this place but the land is dust and the rivers bloody,
Shivers in the dark, and shrieks culled from a nightmare,
Every night I wake myself up and say "who's there?"

And though there's nothing before my eyes my ears they
Start to pound they start to bleed their ruby tears
O how I wish I could join you
Escape the silent screams of ghosts.

This family's dwindling –– last embers on the pyre,
A milky dusk fading into rust as a bad moon rises.
So –– let's build a castle from the soil of new green fields
And turn the tables just for one day, show them how it feels

But –– here it comes! It's worth the wait!
It's worth the listen! The ship at harbour's going to shine
Then it will glisten. It's like the light cascading from
The moon into your eyes.

***

I only hope I can feel less love for life on this old land.
I only wish the shrieking and screaming hadn't forced my hand ––
Banshees and bothies and burrows: all hate, with happiness heaved away.
