The Tale of Tenuviell, from SwordSong the CD
The Tale of Tenuviell
I. Fairy
Ancient groves wild remote home to all fairies, elves, and gnomes spirits evoke a sacred oath a temple to Earth the devas devote
Forest gone green meandering stream twinkling eyes that sparkle and gleam slip into fairy upon a moonbeam awaken within a dream in a dream
Deva of flight Child of light soft as the wind of a butterfly’s flight glade of moonlight where magick resides devas are dancing into the night
Forests and ocean always in motion life an elixir a magick potion fluid emotion soul’s devotion gazing into her eyes of ocean
A taste of the chalice of Merlin’s well dreaming within where magick dwells She of the Fairies and the Elves this is the Tale of Tenuviell
Instrumental Reprise/Chorus
II. Sorceror
Parallel dimension a world of tension there lived a lonely demented magician “I will make mine a charming young sprite, she’ll fill my cottage with sparkle and life!”
Pouring through spellbooks he reflects “how do I open the fairy vortex?” frown to a smile he is pleased “How to Capture a Fairy with Ease”
Muttering chanting incantation timewave ripples electric sensation tingle within Merkabah spins Wizard shouts, “I’ve done it I’m in!”
Nearby fairy approaches to see what the etheric commotion could be her senses keen a foreshadowing Oh great mysterious destiny
Curiousor she flitted closer into the grasp of the sorceror dazzling her with magick mirror he cast a spell that enshrouded her
Instrumental Reprise/Chorus
III. Capture & Betrayal
Returning through his entry portal leaving behind lamenting immortals this the work of his meddling toil she took the form of a human mortal
Old man alone soul to atone speaking these words both brazen & bold a bit of your soul for me to hold I must have your sphere of precious gold
What choice had she had to agree beg of her captor a silent plea “release me I have to go free I am the wild why can’t you see?!”
Insatiable need greed to appease sorcerer’s lust to eternally feed demanding a deed “before you are freed to harness Earth goddesses’ energy”
Feeling obliged heart resigned she whispered the words and made sacred signs his power was blind of heartless design losing a part of her soul behind
Instrumental Reprise/Chorus
IV. Liberation & Atonement
Dragon in rage shatters her cage flying her to his crystal cave Earth betrayed a price to pay self-imposed penance for age upon age
Wolf to his throat the Raven revokes Tenuviell’s Soul her Heart of Gold returns it to her to behold “ My spirit’s atoned, I want to go home!”
Sorcerer’s plight bereft of her light Tenuviell holds him within her sight forgiveness inside binding untied Magician ascends as an Angel of Light
Hey aleya eyhey ya Way hey yo lo Hey aleya eyhey ya Way hey ya-ya Ay aleya eyhey ya Way hey oh-lo Ay aleya ey hey way hey yie ya
Mystical isle of Avalon returning Home where she belonged welcomed by a thousand strong the devas were dancing all night long!
Long instrumental freeform, trills, laughter, song…
