Snow falling softly, a bright winter day
The cabin is quiet and cold
The Domovoi sits by the oven unlit
And waits for a family that’s not coming home
“Perhaps they’ve gone hunting” he thinks to himself,
They’ll bring home the pelt of a bear
“Perhaps at a wedding, some faraway town,
The smoke of their offerings will soon fill the air…”
Lie lie lie lie, the Domovoi cries
The old ways never shall fade
The bluebells will ring the song of the spring
The men shall all come home one day…
Middle of December I started to fade
With no one to tend to my fire.
I’ll pile up the ashes, I’ll blow on the coals
But I’m just a spirits, and spirits grow tired…
I’ll fold up the blankets, I’ll sweep up the floors
I’ll chip off the ice from the walls
The loosestrife will sprout as the snow melt runs out
But I have grown weary… and small —
But maybe if I'm just good enough, they will come back.
Do you think that if I'm just good enough, they will come back?
Maybe if I'm just good enough, they will come back.
Maybe, if I'm just good enough, they will come...
Back.
So tired of waiting while winter was fading
The hearth spirit gathers his trifling things
Farewell he calls to the roof and the walls
And alone and unburdened, he laughs and he sings
Lie lie lie lie wipe the tears from your eyes
The old ways they don't mean a thing
The bluebells will ring the song of the spring
But I will just be on my way.
Lie lie lie lie...

The Forgetmenauts Berkeley, California
The Forgetmenauts weave folklore and mythology into a strange, fresh, and rich soundscape. Their musicality is orchestral, folksy, alternative, and punk all at once. Their lyrics spin old tales and new into exciting and poetic songs that weave together love and queerness, longing and revenge. Come for the Marriage of Bigfoot and Mothman, stay for the Gay Werewolf Murder Ballad. ... more

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though
