lyrics

Love, I languish hard by thine eye
No prizèd gem could thy beauty buy
At the sight of thee, I do sigh
For here at thy mercy I forever lie

Love, stay thy hand! Strike me not, lest I die (hold thy stroke? )
Thine is all my life, my heart, and thine am I

Love, I tremble at thy true grace
Tears swiftly flow, hot upon my face
Let thy lips their rivers embrace
For thy touch will be my heart's last resting place

Love, stay thy hand! Strike me not, lest I die
Thine is all my life, my heart, and thine am I

Gentle love, my poor sword is thine
Let it but stand high and be a sign
My service to thy wishes incline
Mercy, let thy fingers at the hilt entwine

Love, stay thy hand! Strike me not, lest I die
Thine is all my life, my heart, and thine am I

Stay thy hand upon my keen blade
Oh, slay me not, but give me thine aid,
Or for my death give me a dear trade
Surely for thy tender favor was I made

Love, stay thy hand! Strike me not, lest I die
Thine is all my life, my heart, and thine am I

Bring thy potent will here to bear,
As that thy spirit, mortally fair,
Holds mine ever sure in its care,
That in one united will we two may share

Love, stay thy hand! Strike me not, lest I die
Thine is all my life, my heart, and thine am I

I do not normally cry because of music, or fiction in general. Chords made me cry. Every time I listen to it, it still feels like a warm, tight goodbye hug. But it isn't what convinced me to buy this album, because damn, I knew I would right from the start of Secret Worlds, and knew it ever more at every song. The way the songs here can combine to tell a whole new story, and even reference others from The Horror and the Wild, is just magnificent. Mayana

The Horror and the Wild

I discovered this band mere weeks ago through pure chance; someone recommended Fair in a discussion about wholesome songs. And it was; love at first listen. YouTube recommended me Battle Cries next, so I gave that a listen too, and the the energy and the overlapping lyrics made me fall in love anew. I bought this album and Ruin less than a day later. Everything TAD have made is true art, different from everything else I've heard. Mayana
