Over the Georgian
June 15, 2015 11:15 AM
Home demo for a future studio production. A retelling of the Wyandot legend of Kitchikewana. Lyrics below the fold.
Where the angry hand threw a fist of land
When a wanted woman forsook him
The great tomb, north of Penetanguishene
His fingers washed away in the harbors
Lay him down
Lay him down
Raise the lamps around me
And let them dance around, round, round, round
The nameless brides are swaying
To them I’ll call
Sentinel Kitchikewana
Steely watcher over the Georgian
His angry hands shake in the sunset
Clothes his loneliness in his ire
Lay him down
Lay him down
Raise the lamps around me
And let them dance around, round, round, round
The nameless brides are swaying
And then she comes
So he bends
On big knee
He tells her
Of his plans
But she says
That won’t do
She can’t love two
I’ll raze the lamps around me
And quake the land with sound, sound, sound, sound
I’ll fling your heart, so earthen
I’ll make you crawl
I’ll bend my life to breaking
And lay my body down, down, down, down
This bay, my bride, my prison,
My sandy crown
Where the angry hand threw a fist of land
When a wanted woman forsook him
The great tomb, north of Penetanguishene
His fingers washed away in the harbors
Lay him down
Lay him down
Raise the lamps around me
And let them dance around, round, round, round
The nameless brides are swaying
To them I’ll call
Sentinel Kitchikewana
Steely watcher over the Georgian
His angry hands shake in the sunset
Clothes his loneliness in his ire
Lay him down
Lay him down
Raise the lamps around me
And let them dance around, round, round, round
The nameless brides are swaying
And then she comes
So he bends
On big knee
He tells her
Of his plans
But she says
That won’t do
She can’t love two
I’ll raze the lamps around me
And quake the land with sound, sound, sound, sound
I’ll fling your heart, so earthen
I’ll make you crawl
I’ll bend my life to breaking
And lay my body down, down, down, down
This bay, my bride, my prison,
My sandy crown
