Glory to the Brave

by Elf Queen

supported by

Susan Fox I can't help it. I loved the original, and this just adds that Elf Queen magic. Favorite track: Queen of the Silver Mountain (Homage a Dio).

thom426 Milady, your voice is astounding. Here in those lands facing Muspelheim, where the Rainbow Serpent brings water, you have one who hears your magic through newly acquired enchanted hearing stones.

In other words, you have a fan in Australia. Your album is the first I listened to through my new hearing aids.

My congratulations to you and those who helped you on this album. Hauk's production work is as high quality as expected.

1.	Forever Ain't Over 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Babe we’ve said so many things I don’t even know where to start Babe these words are hurting, hurting like an arrow through my heart Take it hard or take it slow Take it any way that you know how Just say that we’re not over Just say tomorrow will still come Just say forever ain’t over Before everything comes undone Oh Babe the world is falling down falling round in chaos as we speak Babe I can’t find solid ground, I need you by my side oh please Take me back and take me home Take me somewhere I won’t feel alone Just say that we’re not over Just say tomorrow will still come Just say forever ain’t over Before everything comes undone It ain’t over
2.	In the Mirror 05:20	lyrics	buy track
Words to fight and fighting words The battle is absurd Love and light and light and love No savior from above Dead mans words of prophecy It’s It's Nothing that you need Look inside and find your soul Rise up, attain your goals The day of wrath is coming nearer The only hero you need is in the mirror At the end of the day, it becomes clearer The only hero you need is in the mirror Dreams of worth and consequence Shed aside all false pretence Embrace the wind at dawns first light Hail the moon at twilight You and I were born to rule Rule ourselves not ruled by fools Laws of man are broken here Elven born we have no fear The day of wrath is coming nearer The only hero you need is in the mirror At the end of the day, it becomes clearer The only hero you need is in the mirror
3.	Tonight 03:39	lyrics	buy track
Tonight I want to be lonely Tonight I just want you home Tonight I want what I just can’t have and it chills me to the bone There’s a wolf outside my window A wolf inside my heart And it’s feeding on my darkest needs and it’s tearing me apart I want it all I want to hear you call Tonight I’m looking for something Tonight I’m hunting for sin And tonight the full moon calls to me and it’s telling me to begin There’s a wolf outside my window There’s a wolf in the moons glow And there’s blood in his teeth and blood on his feet and he shows me what I want to know I want it all I want to hear you call Call my name Call my name I played your games and I took the blame So here I stand I took your hand I wish I could say this was planned Tonight my hearts in a bad place Tonight I just see your face Tonight I’m letting my my heart take control and it isn’t bringing me grace There’s a wolf inside my bloodline And his blood will tell in time If I came for you like I wanted to do when you said we were through the last time…
4.	Gone 05:01	lyrics	buy track
I read our tea leaves I saw it in your eyes No time left to grieve Sometimes good things die I didn’t want to hurt you I didn’t want to leave I wish that you knew You were the one I need There was a time when we walked hand in hand Footprints in sand side by side across this land You had the open road, I had the sands of time There was a time but that time is long gone, baby long gone I read your diary I read about your dreams I wept so bitterly That you did not believe The way I loved you With all of my heart The way I needed you To need me from the start There was a time when we walked hand in hand Footprints in sand side by side across this land You had the open road, I had the sands of time There was a time but that time is long gone, baby long gone Hold me closer every day Hold me closer if I say Hold me closer when I’m walking away There was a time when we walked hand in hand Footprints in sand side by side across this land You had the open road, I had the sands of time There was a time but that time is long gone, baby long gone
5.	Flood 07:14	lyrics	buy track
I cried a thousand tears I wept one thousand years In a moment, the blink of an eye I watched you walk away I wished that you would stay Without you I would die With nothing left to lose You said “apre moi le deluge” I I I cried a flood for you I I I every tear was for you The dirt has turned to mud The rain became a flood The seasons always change The end was always clear We tried to face our fears But the end remains the same I’ve got nothing left to prove I said “apre vous le deluge” I I I cried a flood for me I I I every tear set me free
6.	Count My Blessings 05:06	lyrics	buy track
I don’t expect an answer I don’t expect relief I couldn’t find an answer I couldn’t find a meaning I couldn’t find a way I don’t expect forgiveness I can’t forgive myself I couldn’t ask that of you I couldn’t beg that of you But I still can pray What a dream we had when everything was new What a life we had when every thought was of you Count my blessings and count my demons Count the reasons you find to make you stay Count the months and count the days Till one of us just walks away I wish I could undo it I wish it was undone I wish the hurt was healing I wish the break was closing I wish that we were one What a dream we had when everything was new What a life we had when every thought was of you Count my blessings and count my demons Count the reasons you find to make you stay Count the months and count the days Till one of us just walks away
7.	The One 04:07	lyrics	buy track
Hold me like you want me like you need me back, never let me go Kiss me like you mean it, like you need it, and never take it slow Hold me like you need me like you want me back, tell me I’m the one Tell me I’m the one You and I like worlds collide Build a bridge across this great divide You tell me it’s over you tell me you need me You tell me a lie and then say believe me You tell me the truth and then say we are done But then say I’m the only one Hold me like you want me like you need me back, never let me go Kiss me like you mean it, like you need it, and never take it slow Hold me like you need me like you want me back, tell me I’m the one Tell me I’m the one You and I could touch the sky Sail the seas of time and never die You told me the world was a gift to be taken That love was a blessing that wasn’t forsaken You tell me the truth and then say we’re done I’ll tell you I’m the only one Hold me like you want me like you need me back, never let me go Kiss me like you mean it, like you need it, and never take it slow Hold me like you need me like you want me back, tell me I’m the one Tell me I’m the one I just can’t take it anymore Leave me stranded on the shore Or take me in your arms and never let me go Hold me like you want me like you need me back, never let me go Kiss me like you mean it, like you need it, and never take it slow Hold me like you need me like you want me back, tell me I’m the one Tell me I’m the one
8.	Queen of the Silver Mountain (Homage a Dio) 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Arise, arise and show me your eyes, Don’t let your life flash before your eyes On your feet, never kneel, tell me how you feel Remember life is nothing but a spinning wheel Embrace the thunder Tear this world asunder Welcome to my domain Born again in the pouring rain I’m the Queen of the Silver Mountain As the sun slowly sets, forget all your regrets I promise you the best hasn’t happened yet Here’s the deal, and it’s real, in blood it’s sealed Never let life melt your heart of steel Embrace the thunder Tear this world asunder Welcome to my domain Born again in the pouring rain I’m the Queen of the Silver Mountain Come the night, come the night, put aside your fright Wash yourself clean of the worlds blight Take my hand take my hand, together we will stand And start to make a change in this broken land Embrace the thunder Tear this world asunder Welcome to my domain Born again in the pouring rain I’m the Queen of the Silver Mountain
9.	Glory to the Brave 07:36	lyrics	buy track
We paid our dues in due time Eternal witness to the crime We saw the lies you chose to live What a blighted gift you give The tapestry was woven well We sailed our ships on the seas of hell Ripped our fingernails from the bone Mother, we’re coming home We danced in circles made of stone The only place we called our own Stolen in the darkest night Out of darkness see our light We are blind but not bereaved We are deaf but not deceived We are the ones you couldn’t save We sing Glory to the Brave Dead but never turned to dust Lust for life and life for lust Born in blood and blood we gave We sing Glory to the Brave The seeress promised up an oath This is neither brag nor boast The raging fires will burn out The final battle is a rout Age of wolf and age of axe We have hunted in your tracks To find chaos where it sleeps At last all eyes will weep We danced in circles made of stone The only place we called our own Stolen in the darkest night Out of darkness see our light We are blind but not bereaved We are deaf but not deceived We are the ones you couldn’t save We sing Glory to the Brave Dead but never turned to dust Lust for life and life for lust Born in blood and blood we gave We sing Glory to the Brave

about

On a dark, dusty, desert highway on the road to Hel stands a Tavern, called the Orcs Head. Inside you hear the searing sounds of siren song- the voice of Kelsey, the queen of the Elves in exile. Next to her stands her chief advisor and the only surviving member of her court, kindly Uncle Hauk. Together they play the songs of their people, the songs of love, of loss, of fire and death and magic and life and war. Kingdoms may fall, but the songs always remain…
