Black Tears Run From Crystal Eyes Scene One: Dear Father, O Father, take us to ye lands shore My brothers, dear Father, they cannot wait no more Through Winters dark cover, we bade it take its course Til Summers gold sunset, stole Winters icy voice Sweet children, of patience thee have spoke I adorest thy tireless hearts of hope Come Mother, prepare now heed my call For tomorrow through ye forest we shall go Scene Two: Ye forest, sepulchral and cold Ye sunlight, is barred from our souls O Father, protect us guard us well As danger treads softly ‘round us all Therewith, I’ll guide thee to thine homes Pr’y ye children, thy silken words will cloak Our passage through evils very jaws Scene Three: From shadows fall nightmares bred in hell Their Father is slaughter’d by dark hordes Ye children stand helpless by his corpse They’re shackl’d but one child doth escape Scene Four: Running ‘neath ancient limbs he flees Ye wooden woods that barest leaves Dark shadows ignore his desperate pleas The village and safety he doth reach Scene Five: Look, it’s John’s young child From ye Forest, thou burst in haste, exiled Thy pallor of sickness speaks of death What terror hath cast thee out like this? Mine pallor begot by evil spawn Mine brothers enslaved by ye dark hordes Thence Father lies slaugther’d in ye Forest They children they’ll take as slaves thereon Scene Six: O brave mine of thine meek village Thy homes endanger’d by this menace Thou must summon thy every inch of courage ‘Tis thy valor we ride upon to battle! Scene Seven: With passion and weapons they are gather’d Ye women and children wade in panic Ye oceans tide will be remorse As waves they roll in from ye forest “Charge” Scene Eight: Ye Fathers so valiantly fought Ye women and children wept in woeful panic All butcher’d by swiftly falling swords Their bodies which broken life didst course Scene Nine: Ruins of love, the flesh did borne Flames rising higher, ye village destroy’d Scene Ten: Running through world again defying His village the child doth leave behind him It’s cinders they light the blacken’d sky As soldiers pursue the frighten’d child Yeilding not to their savage breath No slave-ship will he ride unto his death As shadows where graves are borne didst lurch Withal be sure thy slave to fear itself.

Tamora, Moonlight Bride Scene One: As stars they dance for naked eyes, the widowed queen she weeps despite Thou suffered in the blazing light, so I might rise another night Her lovers death his bones so dry, the end of his eternal life Thy stars they fade like lovers eyes, these thoughts they haunt Tamora’s mind Her kingdom damned, possessed by night, now deepest red pursued through time Our castle bare destroyed by fire, thenceforth unsafe thine love despised The cloudless sky its speaks tonight, in whispers “no eternal life” Theses silent words they scar her mind, Tamora queen and moonlight bride Scene Two: As night crept ‘cross the plains, And dreamful sleep embraced, The curse no longer reigns, for ye holy fires raised Have saved us from the plague, now the evil doth decay Scene Three: When sun shines bright again, The bitter screams remain, Tamora hath returned with her raven kiss of sadness, Her name forever heard, when the veil descends to darkness, Tamora, Tamora…
