When you think you can not go on
When the night has gone on too long
The weight is too heavy, there are far too many
Or you feel there is no one at all
When the ties are tied far too tight
when the ties that bind are untied.
The forces outside, and the pressures inside
They’ll crush you like you’re nothing at all
There is no light that can dispel this darkness
No ladder we can climb from this hell.
But I’ll sit with you and offer a glass
and some solace in the darkness as well.
Don’t worry, it’s far worse than you think
Don’t worry, all your fears will come true
The quest finally done, the prize so hard won
and it wasn’t worth it at all.
When the distance is measured in years
and you are lost in the space between stars
You think you’re alone, well you are all alone
with all of us lonely old souls down here as well.
There is no light that can dispel this darkness
No ladder we can climb from this hell.
But I’ll sit with you and offer a glass
and some solace in the darkness as well.
But I’ll sit with you and offer a glass
and some solace in the darkness as well.

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
