Strange weather, in the air
People boarding up their windows
And driving out of town
I found my love upon the brow
Singing ‘why would I leave now?
There ain’t nowhere left to run
And it’s only just begun
There’s worse storms yet to come.’
Bare warnings, haven’t you heard?
About the water building up so long,
the damn will never hold
If you got money buy a boat
Or else you’d best learn how to swim
Pretty soon there’ll be no shore
So you can’t see how far you’ve swum
In the worse storms yet to come
In the morning, was it so bad?
Everything I lost, was everything I never had
Don’t feel down and don’t grow numb
What do you think you could have done?
Love your father, love your son
And be sure to count the bombs
For all the wise and all the liars
Now the rains and now the fires
Do what you can of what can be done
Raise your voice and bang your drum
Fix your teeth and buy a gun
And try and have some fun
In the worse storms yet to come

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
