Threescore and Ten
✕
And it's threescore and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well
They long did fight the bitter night and battle with the swell
Methinks I see a host of craft spreading their sails alee
As down the Humber they do glide all bound for the northern sea
Methinks I see on each small craft a crew with hearts so brave
Going out to earn their daily bread upon the restless wave
And it's threescore and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well
They long did fight the bitter night and battle with the swell
Methinks I see them yet again as they leave this land behind
Casting their nets into the sea, the herring shoals to find
Methinks I see them yet again and they're all on board alright
With their nets close reefed and their decks cleaned up and their side lights burning bright
And it's threescore and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well
They long did fight the bitter night and battle with the swell
October's night brought such a sight, 'twas never seen before
There was masts and yards and broken spars come washed up on the shore
There was many a heart of sorrow, there was many a heart so brave
There was many a fine and hearty lad to find the watery grave
And it's threescore and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well
They long did fight the bitter night and battle with the swell

It's time to breathe
To some the reasons kind
Alone, enslaved
A softer season finds
That I will take the stars
And fade to you
I ask you, why
You seem so calm
As blood drips down your throat
Alligned, alone
Your kind unknown
And the shadows start to call
(Shifting)
In the meadows of the fall
(Gripping)
The lonely harvest is dependantly
(In flames)
(Gone again)
Failed the plans and lost the recipe
(Dripping)
Taste of when
I lost so much
Ambitions turn away
Engraved, in dust
He wants a place of rain
To call his own
So come, but I don't remember
If we saw the sun
It's a painting of the worst
Memories
(I'm gonna break so hard)
Can't you see
(I can't take this anymore)
I contemplate
(I feel it in my veins)
To even be
(Help me)
Alive
And the shadows start to call
(Shifting)
In the meadows of the fall
(Gripping)
The lonely harvest is dependantly
(In flames)
(Gone again)
Failed the plans and lost the recipe
(Dripping)
Taste of when
Taste of when
(Gripping)
Taste of when

There comes the boy who would always dither
They say he is crazy, he wouldn't sit still
Learning all numbers, all words, all names, all rivers
The sun rays creep in and his eyes are piercing into the blue
Piercing the blue, piercing the blue, piercing the blue
Piercing the blue, piercing the blue, piercing the blue
When I was a child all the days seemed endless
We were climbing trees and hunting the daylight
Playing in the hayfield wearing a dandelion crown
No ticks could ever scare us, no spiders, no snakes
No need to frown, no need to frown, no need to frown
No need to frown, no need to frown, no need to frown
Trapped within walls he will learn to conjecture
Pondering over the weight of the world
Trapped within walls he is safe from all vermin, all harm
They say he is crazy, he wouldn't sit still
Just for a while, just for a while, just for a while
Just for a while, just for a while, just for a while
When I was a child all the nights seemed endless
Counting the stars in heaven just for fun
Playing with fire, catching fire flies
Jump in the lake, chased by the swans
Jump in the lake, chased by the swans
No need to frown, no need to frown, no need to frown
No need to frown, no need to frown, no need to frown

When I look up to the stars, there's a burning deep inside me
And I feel a power growing in my soul
There is something I can sense, deep within a dream to guide me
And I know that I am reaching for my goal
I can do anything at all - I can climb the highest mountain
I can feel the ocean calling wild and free
I can be anything I want with this hope to drive me onward
If I can just believe in me
When the skies are dark and grey, we still know the sun is shining
Though it's out of sight, its light is glowing still
And as long as I believe there is nothing I can't wish for
Not a dream that I'm unable to fulfil
I can do anything at all - I can climb the highest mountain
I can feel the ocean calling wild and free
I can be anything I want with this hope to drive me onward
If I can just believe in me
And whatever it takes, I'll find it somehow
Whatever it needs, I'll show I'm strong
Whatever it takes, I'll make it happen
Finding out where I belong
When I look up to the stars, there's a burning deep inside me
And I feel a power growing in my soul
I can do anything at all - I can climb the highest mountain
I can feel the ocean calling wild and free
I can be anything I want with this hope to drive me onward
If I can just believe in me
(If I can just believe) in me

The king was looking at his crown
And his fame was long since gone
And the battle noises are drawing near
The king he stumbled from his throne
And grief cuts him to the bone
And the moon would light the valley
Night was golden
Night was golden
All his subjects were asleep
To the stable he would creep
And he mounted his black horse
He put spurs to its side
Until he reached a wooden hall
In the heart of the mountain wasteland
Night was golden
Night was golden
Night was golden
Night was golden
A thousand silver lurs would greet
And the horns were filled with mead
Women dancing around the fire
A greyish man with just one eye
Told him he had soon to die
But in this place he would be waiting
Night was golden
Night was golden
Filled with strength and confidence
He rode back to his elder son
My true heir your time has come
You will be the new king to rise
To the battle I must leave
With shield and sword to seal with blood
Night was golden
Night was golden
Night was golden
Night was golden
