(via vacivitea)
As you lie before me now, like a shadow
on a pea-green sea
never thought that I would find you so hollow
laying into me
This cup of wine
all salt and brine’s made me sleepy
sorrow sows
a field of tears, that will never yield a single penny
that I don’t owe
got nothing to hold on to
wished for gold so I could buy you a palace
by the riverside
you’d come in and I would fill your diamond chalice
you were still alive
this cup of wine of salt and brine’s made me sleepy
sorrow sows
a field of tears, that will never yield a single penny
that I don’t owe
got nothing to hold on to
I’ve got nothing to hold on to
Were you sleepless, tearing at the air?
was the water everywhere?
were you fretful to wade into the room
I’d been wanting to hear from you
oh, no
hand it over
hand it over
you’re weary, lay him down
you did your time, so thank you very much
hand it over
hand it over
So now your hopes are all allayed
Would you hand it all away?

Albioni’s Adagio in G Minor, as performed by the Doors.
I actually prefer this version, but don’t tell anybody. I just think the rhythm flows more nicely.
Mastodon - The Hunter
All the love I’ve shown
Given to the ones I’ve known
All the love I make
Is equal to the love I take
All the life I’ve known
Given to the life I’ve shown
Along the way
Free from it all
Breathe in the darkest fall
We laugh and cry through a brother’s eyes for now
Through fire embers glow
Haunted I lift the stone
Letting go your spirit flies
All the love I’ve shown
Given to the ones I’ve known
All the love I make
Is equal to the love I take
Life is fleeting fast
Be careful for what you ask
Along the way
Free from it all
Breathe in the darkest fall
We laugh and cry through a brother’s eyes for now
Through fire embers glow
Haunted I lift the stone
Letting go your spirit flies
His thorns are on the road
His thorns are on the road
In the morning light
The sparrow flies
When the moon devours us
The planet dies
Free from it all
Breathe in the darkest fall
We laugh and cry through a brother’s eyes for now
Through fire embers glow
Haunted I lift the stone
Letting go your spirit flies
