Carouselambra
[00:21.16] Sisters of the way-side biding time in quiet peace
[00:24.67] await their place within the ring of calm, ah-ah
[00:29.68] Still stand to turn in seconds of release
[00:32.94] Await the call they know may never come
[00:37.20] In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon
[00:40.96] to jeopardize the course, upset the run, ah-ah
[00:45.72] All was joy and hands were raised towards the sun
[00:48.98] as love in the halls of plenty overrun
[00:53.78] Ah-ahh, ah-ahh-ah-ah, ah-ahh, ah-ahh-ah-ah
[01:17.91] Still in their bliss unchallenged
[01:19.92] mighty feasts, unending dances shadowed on the day, ah-ah
[01:26.44] Within the wall, their daunting, formless keep
[01:29.19] preserved the joy that kept their doubts at bay
[01:33.96] Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep
[01:37.47] Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray, ah-ah
[01:42.48] and everything is soon no sooner thought than deed
[01:45.99] but no one seemed to question in any way
[01:50.00] Ah-ahh, ah-ahh-ah-ah, ah-ahh, ah-ahh-ah-ah
[02:22.58] How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the land
[02:25.84] to seek the unsuspecting and the weak, ah-ah
[02:30.93] and powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand
[02:34.18] toward the foe that threatened them from the deep
[02:38.44] Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand
[02:42.21] adrift upon a sea of futile speech, ah-ah
[02:46.72] and throw the bane and make a stage as planned
[02:49.98] There's no fair memory we cannot reach
[02:53.74] I'm singin', ah-ahh, ah-ahh-ah-ah, ah-ahh, ah-ahh-ah-ah
[03:14.29] Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
[04:34.84] Where was your word, where did you go
[04:52.13] Where was your helping, where was your bow, bow
[05:37.51] Dulled is the armor, cold is the day
[05:55.05] Hard was the journey, dark was the way, way
[06:32.55] I heard the word, I couldn't stay, oh-hoh
[06:41.32] I couldn't stand it an-another day, another day-ay-ay
[06:57.11] Another day, another day
[07:24.44] Touched by the timely callin', roused from the keeper's sleep
[07:33.22] Release the grip, throw down the key
[07:41.74] Held now within the knowing, rest now within the beat
[07:50.51] Take of the fruit but guard the seed
[08:11.06] Baby, I couldn't stay
[08:42.39] Held now within the knowing, rest now within the beat
[08:51.16] Take of the fruit but guard the seed
[09:07.96] Oh, take of the fruit but guard the seed
