Lady Magdalena's Song
Performed by: The ghost of Lady Magdalena
I stand here before ye
Place/Gathering : Holy War 1003 Date: unknown, 1003 Original by/Sung to: Janna Flannery ye know not my name but my song is no wonder my song is of shame. They mounted their horses they thought it a game. "The battle's won thus far in Sir Heathcliffe's name." My lover, my only to you they scribed fame. No need to be strong now. "Who needs Tyr?" they claimed. Order of the Hammer Will you bring me news soon? For I hear the hissing of Snakes at the moon. Order of the Staff, here now tell me all the lies of Tyr's sense of honor or our sense of pride. Order of the Swords, you could not begin to try to defend my poor husband decreed by Tyr to die. Of treachery and curses O, he is to blame! The Orders are gone now My words still remain. So tell me, O Magus Where doth lovers lie? When the land up and swallowed my heart from on high? So tell me, proud warrior Shall blood freely fly? Tyr's taken our hero and the tears have run dry. Speak to me, sisters Where has the sun gone? My husband was loyal, My lover was strong. O tell me, my brothers Where do we belong? The Orders are nothing now that Sir Heathcliffe's gone... Tyr...did not understand. He took our honor from our hands. The One who could win us this war. But I... made Him understand. I broke my Oath upon the land And now you can see we are no more... Beautiful I once was Now cursed I shall be So I'll sing for my lover for eternity... |
