This is a fairytale
of fairies flown away.
This would be story time
if time was left for today
so instead we sit in silence
and silently we play
songs that nobody will hear
of words we’d never say.
This isn’t what you think,
but it’s close to what you’ve heard.
This important now
so listen closely to every word
or the meaning behind each one
may get lost between the sounds
but there’s nobody to translate.
You’re the only one around.
Warnings crafted for your own good.
Magic stories from your childhood.
Written off by whispered rumours.
Recycled in tasteless humour.
Narrated by one you’d never
think you’d forget to remember.
Foretelling events you wouldn’t
ever believe, and so you shouldn’t.
This is a memory
of the times that never were.
It’ll be short and sweet.
You won’t have to listen much longer.
Hopefully it will linger
in your mind for years to come
so the lesson will stay with you
when the story’s dead and done.
Warnings crafted for your own good.
Magic stories from your childhood.
Written off by whispered rumours.
Recycled in tasteless humour.
Narrated by one you’d never
think you’d forget to remember.
Foretelling events you wouldn’t
ever believe, and so you shouldn’t.
(so you shouldn’t) be too careful,
it’s all nonsense after all.
How could tired stories
hope to catch you if you fall?
You never gave a second thought
to them once you were grown.
But what is there to guide you
now you’re standing on your own?
Warnings crafted for your own good.
Magic stories from your childhood.
Written off by whispered rumours.
Recycled in tasteless humour.
Narrated by one you’d never
think you’d forget to remember.
Foretelling events you wouldn’t
ever believe, and so you shouldn’t.
This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
