It’s dark outside
Though the clocks are all striking the noon
The weathermen must have lied
It’s dark outside
It’s dark outside
The birds are all singing the wrong tunes
The ones that haven’t died
It’s dark outside
And what will you do?
When there’s nothing to do?
And what will you find?
When there’s nowhere to hide
It’s dark outside
It’s alright the lights are still on
At least for the meantime
And there are sounds in the darkness,
There are shapes on the floor
And you can’t see a thing more than a foot from the door
And there’s movement above you
You swear it’s inside
And so much more besides
It’s dark outside
And what of tomorrow?
Will we even know?
Just sit tight
And what of the night?
It’s dark outside
What will you do for food?
Those children are starting to cry
It’s dark outside

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 maritarvaniti

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
