Sleeping Keep in elder night
sleeping keep, vanish by morn
sleeping keep throw open your gate
and let a weary traveler inside
sleeping keep in secret starlight shine!
good keep i long to find
Old keep return tonight
and inside i shall ride
sleeping keep where fox fires led
me to a land so green
sleeping keep you call so loud
hear my lonesome cry
sleeping keep where legends wrest in staircases of dreams
sleeping keep where legends rest in nightly courts of majesty
sleeping keep return to me
all the hills they sing
old keep throw down your bridge
and i will ride inside

The tavern song of Terry

at castle Terry, the wine flows free
at castle Terry, the woods are always in leaf
I am the farmer, i am he
I work with the jack and the plow and the fields are always green
I am the swordsman, just as fit as can be
I tell a tale with my hands and bless this goodly keep
I am the goodwife, I am she
I will always be beautiful and Lord Terry will always be king
I am the tavern
come and drink for free
Sit by the glow of the fire and good health is good company
I am the piper, I dance and sing
I tell a tale of the land and bless this goodly keep
(Lord Terry enters the tavern:)
I am Lord Terry, I am thy king
I fought the devil for the crown and a legend I will always be
(A strange glow comes from the Lord's eyes as the fox fire speaks through him:)
I am the fox fire, I fool and leap
I have led many men to their graves and many to their destines
I am the traveler, I got ost on my way
I found this castle and I can not leave

The country man's repose
02:32

Warm ancestral home, le the fireside glow
we chased the rivers when it was hot and it made the fish act like fools
have you seen the yellow of an evening glow?
Makes old things shine again like gold
and when the moon is fat and fool and looks like an old candle merchant,
a stranger, a dear old friend,
Let the moonlight in!
Elder dusk, we may have existed before
Green and novel we wrote ourselves
where death could never find us here
Have you seen the paleo f a moonlit glow?
Makes new child's toys look like ghosts
we'll never grow old
so let the moonlight in
let the wind blow open your doors
let the fireside glow
oh goodly keep, i never want to leave

NARRATED BY THE TRAVELER:
BY TRAVELER'S ROAD AND SILVER MOON
I SAW THE CASTLE APPEAR, IN MY VIEW
BY DYING FIRELIGHT AND MORNING RISE
THE FOG SHE FADED BEFORE MY EYES
BY SECOND NIGHT AND STARLIT SKY
THE KEEPS GATE LOWERED, AND IN, I DID RIDE
OH, HOW SHE SWALLOWED ME
IN NIGHTLY COURTS OF MAJESTY
BY DAYLIGHT, I MUST SLEEP
OH MY LORD, I ASK YOU GRANT ME LEAVE...
(LORD TERRY APPEARS, AND NARRATES TO THE TRAVELER:)
LORD TERRY:
BY FAIRY MAGIC, OLDE AND TRUE
I FOUND THE CROWN IN MIDNIGHT BLUE
BY FIRE AND IRON ,DEVILS I HAVE KNOWN
IN HOUSES OF SLEEP I MADE MY HOME....
BY THE BARD'S SONGS ,OLDE AND TRUE
BY MAIDENS BLOOD, DEMONS GREW
I AM LORD TERRY, CAN YOU FEEL,
THE SOULS OF MEN THAT FED MY STEEL?
I WON THE CROWN, CANT YOU SEE?
AND SOLD MY SOUL FOR ONE NIGHT OF BLASPHEMY
SO LET YOUR SWORD SING,
I AM THY KING
YOU MUST DEFEAT YOUR KING TO LEAVE
SO LET YOUR SWORD SING...
YOU MUST MUST DEFEAT YOUR KING TO LEAVE
BY FAIRY MAGIC OLDE AND TRUE...
I FOUND THE CROWN IN MIDNIGHT BLUE
