The Distant Mirror

Download Song

From "Hrafnkel's Saga: The Rock Opera"

Once upon a midnight lullaby

The land was fertile and the sky was full of hope

A world I'd like to see before I die

Through the distant mirror's eye

Sometimes sometimes I think we belong

When love was war and men were stronger than just men

So if that's right then where did we go wrong

That's the distant mirror's song

The wind to which we hum

The bandaged soldier beats his drum

And I, whoa I, I know

The call of years gone by

The sacred heart we left to die

But I, I know that time has passed the world that's fast asleep

I see your sheep

In the distant mirror

I see the clearing

And now it's so much clearer

And all that's heard

Though hearing misdirects

Reflects upon the hearer

In that distant eye

So now, can we be strong

If the strongest never stand alone

What is the cost to civilize

We call it pride cause that's our native guise

I see their eyes

In the distant mirror

But when I turn back

I see it disappear or

Just fade away

A vision draped in white

A knight that's drawing nearer

From that distant eye

The Dancingest Boy in Town

Download Song

Look at Sacha

Always on the swing

Too old to be a camper

So he sorts the mail

Look at Sacha

Always on the swing

He's the dancingest boy in town

Look at Sacha

Smiling at the girls

If they ever saw his moves

They would freak

Seriously

Look at Sacha

Smiling at the girls

He's the dancingest boy in town

(Lauren London - lead vocals)

The Confrontation

Pharoah:

Harn you stand before me and my audience is yours,

But do it quick because I must perform my regal chores.

You may ask me anything,

But keep in mind that I'm the king

So don't try nothing tricky

'Cause there's guards outside the doors.

Harn:

Pharoah, all you need to know,

You must let the Hebrew's go.

Even though my voice is weak,

God ordains you hear me speak.

Pharoah:

Don't you try to threaten me you fiesty little hack,

If you talk to me that way then I won't give you jack!

I'm the ruler of these lands,

You dare deliver such demands

The Hebrew's blood's not on my hands,

So just get off my back!

Harn:

Pharoah, you misunderstand.

Chosen people need a land.

If you don't loosen their restraints,

God will act on their complaints.

Pharoah:

Harn, you dunce I told you once and still you carry on.

This God should show his face to me instead of just his pawn.

Why don't you stop hounding me,

I will not set your people free

I'll close my eyes and count to three

And then you'd best be gone!

One... two.... three!

The Cold Circuit

When the cold circuit connection is cut,

My healing vision is anything but.

Swirling and morphing my galaxy falls,

And it whispers a name as it spreads through the walls.

These secret formations that laugh as we blink

Are not my inventions as I'd like to think.

Their founder's become it's own galaxy's prey,

Whose light cannot reach me, but someday it may.

The planets sit still as the sky is revolved

And the people grow dizzy and nothing's resolved.

But some stars will flicker long after they're gone

Like the other cold circuit our feet tread upon.
