The Maiden Wouldn't Sing
01:19
|

"Sing the Poisoned Cup, for to hear it I demand!"
Barked the Baron from his throne to the maiden down below
"Oh please, Merra my love! Do as asked, it matters not"
"You need not mean it, you do not!" implored the minstrel to his doe
But the maiden wouldn't sing and her silence grew so loud
That a clamor to chastise her rose like thunder through the crowd

The Rat With Two Tails
00:57
|
|||
An Imperial Galleon set course for Jaccourd
With Queen Arianne of the Badgers aboard
When two days from port in a terrible storm
Its mast broke in half and the mizzen was torn
But the vessel was saved by the Rat with Two Tails
Who stopped them from running aground on the shales
By hoisting her majesty's knickers for sails!
The Rat with Two Tails, oh! The Rat with Two Tails
He saved Arianne from those terrible gales
He may not be a badger, but he's certainly male
And she'd not known true love 'til the Rat with Two Tails!

May I present to you the greatest of crooks
But you'll never have read about them in your books
Brother and sister, they're siblings in crime
But they've never been caught and they've never done time
Fatale is wily, and brave to the end
But she's not someone on whom you'd ever depend!
If Fatale's the brains Gusto's surely the muscle
They know how to rob and they know how to hustle
At thieving and stealing and crime they're the best
You want to try outsmarting them? Be my guest!
Now please check your pockets, 'cause for our finale
You've all been robbed blind by Gusto and Fatale!

My Lovely's Lovely
02:04
|

[My lovely's eyes, they shine and sparkle
Her whiskers are all coarse and bristly
Like rubies glowing in the dark-le
Her lips are red, and soft and kiss-tly
My lovely's ears, all soft and purple
They flap so gaily in the breeze
I long to nuzzle at her fur-ple
Though her-ples often make me sneeze
My lovely's cough is soft and croupy
Her teeth are dainty, sharp and nibbly
Her left eye is all white, and droopy
Her nose is long and pink, and dribbly
My lovely's lovely, and contrary
I swore one day she'd be my bride
But in a garden, green and airy
She fell and broke her neck, and died

And so at last to Vaelia's plain
The Emerald Fire's army came
There Periclave's shear walls stood lined
With the last of every living kind
Then from the ranks rode Duinlan, bold
Astride a salamander, skin like gold
His courage stirred hearts froze with dread
And others went where Duinlan led
Jahrlan and Nykto joined the fight
Black and white, and blue as night
Bathed in the bright abyss's light
Twelve Rats faced down the Green Flame's might
Then came the mighty clarion's call
And Duinlan, Jahrlan, Nykto, all
Did summon forth a hurricane
That quenched at last that dire flame

A Murder of Crows
01:00
|

I've found the true nature of creatures is shown
In the names by which each is collectively known
I've heard Tidings of Magpies and seen Murders of Crows
Smelled a Surfeit of Skunks with a peg on my nose
Met a Mischief of Mice, who were masters of prose
And a Sneaking of Weasels, who were light on their toes
But the Rats are the worst, as well everyone knows
'Cause a gathering of Rats is a Plague, as it goes!
And now that's off my chest I have this to propose
That they're creatures of whom I suggest we dispose!

The Poisoned Cup
01:34
|
|||
For fourteen days the Emerald Fire
Laid siege to royal Pesa's spires
In the distance black smoke billowed
As wheat fields burned like funeral pyres
The Mice had sworn to hold the pass
Vowed, 'til their allies could amass
They would not waver from the fight
But courage failed them, at the last
And so before the horde was laid
A goblet, carved of finest jade
A tribute to the green flame's might
In hope its ire could be assuaged
But their treachery was all for nought
There was no bargain to be bought
The goblet was a poisoned cup
And from it sorrows flowed

Come hear of Rodrik the First, the famous Coward King!
When all the way from Saltar's mines the Ferrets came a-charging
He cowered up to the highest tower as the warning bells a-tolled!
The glove was thrown, the moment come to show his true mettle
But yellow as brass was the coward king, and never quite as bold
On trembling shanks and soggy tail he set sail quite unsettled!
His subjects cried and called to him, but he left them to their sorrow
Until his ship was sunk as stone... and he cowered down below

Lavender sky
Come undone at the seams
You're prince of my heart
And the king of your dreams
Moonlight's Veld blooming
While lavender dies
Stars above dreaming
The gleam in your eyes

The Orphan Prince
01:30
|

From the north, through the mountains he came
Searching for answers to questions unknown
Destiny calling his forgotten name
The Orphan Prince is at last coming home
His ouma saw he would come to no harm
Slipped into his pocket her lutka of stone
Led by the gleam of his true Mother's charm
The Orphan Prince is at last coming home
White crests on the lake a-breaking
Grave and ghost and silvery ring
Before him castle walls a-shaking
Son of Mice, and heir to the Rat King

The waves may crash, the ship may sink
And every one of us might drown
But pirates call the sea 'the drink'
So raise a glass as we go down
With sundercrabs we'll have a tipple
And steal the Fish King's pearly cup
With shapely Mer-Mice, wet our whistle
Til top is down, and bottom's up!
