Leaves in the wind

When the days grow dark And shadows fall upon your heart When no road leads To where you yearn to travel Remember me, my child And my words for you When the wind is howling Bitter, cold, and mournful When the rain falls cold as ice Upon your weary head Remember me, my child And my words for you Like leaves upon the beech We come and go Like acorns on the ground We wait for sun and water Remember this, my child And my love for you I must now part way And leave behind my flesh You must find your path Towards your fate and destiny Remember this, my child And my love for you Remember Do remember

SECOND SIGHT, A NEW RELIGION

A new beginning, a means to an end A prayer unanswered, a prayer unsaid The loss of faith, an unknown quantity an unknown fate Soul religion, spirits rise and the coming of communion The sacrificial and the lead Out for slaughter and out for the kill Paradise in a paradox Totalitarianism and the law of averages A state of affairs, a state of emergency Jesus Christ and the Anti-Christ Lit up in neon The third kind And the second coming will be televised

Piano man - interpretation

Piano man by Kim Larsen: Quiet blues in minor and May Piano man, can you hear me (now)? How are things in the land of the dead? Now you know, piano man Is it cold and dark in the black grave? Or is the sky brightly lit like the clearest amber? Are there songs and music in the land of the dead And does it swing, piano man? Are there chirping birds and cheering cups? Are there bright colors and parties all night long? Does the sun shine over Gudhjem in the land of the dead?* Or is it (a) cold goodnight, piano man?

Illumination: Birdhouse In Your Soul

Description

Lyrics from They Might Be Giants' beloved "Birdhouse In Your Soul", gussied up like the Book of Kells. Because why not.

The rune-like thingies in the bird/letter "b" are also letters. In insular manuscripts, you can sometimes find funny squarish letters used in full-page illuminations or headings. These just say "TMBG".
