RUBY RED


Ruby Red, Heart of Stone
Are you asleep
There alone
Waken your
Purpose true
We’re longing for
A word from you

Lead us
Guide us
Strong and
Wise
Our wish
Our need
Alone
Advise

Ruby Red, Heart of Stone
We hear your words
Your fervent tone
Ancient one
We trust in you
Your knowledge deep
Your purpose true

Ruby Red

An Ever-Brighter Light


Dark, dark, except for a spark
That’s shining in the night
A tiny glow
That begins to grow
An ever-brighter light

The Queen’s good grace
Cannot erase
The dire threat alone
More’s needed in the best of kin
Beyond the lofty throne

Zertorme and his warrior band
Will hasten to our aid
We must gather the rest
Bring forth our best
Fulfill the plan well-laid

It’s dark, dark, except for a spark
That’s shining in the night
A tiny glow
That begins to grow
An ever-brighter light

Simple times and simple rhymes
Be not an answer to
The need to meet
Indeed, defeat
The darkness we pursue

So guard your light
The lamp within
That seeks the good and true
Tis our fate to illuminate
That darkness we pursue

Sing the Shadows Away


Dance when shadows come out to play
Sing the shadows away
Whistle a tune
In the dark, and soon
The gloom no longer holds sway

Chorus Sing Along
With an Odi Oh
And a De De De
And a La Di Da Di Day
With an Odi Oh
And a De De De
Just sing that gloom away

Darkness is only an instrument
To better see the light
Let it not draw you near
Or cause you to fear
Sing out, dance around in the night

Chorus Sing Along

Your breath is the wind, carries your voice
Leaves the dark no choice
To be struck and cowed
Forever bowed
By a spirit so bold to rejoice

Chorus Sing Along

The previous song and this one are about the group's exploits in Clay's Cauldron from the excellent The Shadow Weave by John Clare.


Spiders
(To the tune of Cecilia)

Chorus
Spi – ders
Theyre calling us down
To a place where
Their eyes will surround us
Oh Spi – ders
We can’t let you be
We’ve got to meet
The Supreme
Mother Queen

In the dark we will crawl and clear
Webby spaces
Down and down, we go (down we go)
Find the tough and the hard to kill
Carapaces
Keep strength above zero

Chorus

Stopped the shadows
Prisoners found
Could’ve left there
We had all we need (all we need)
Couldn’t leave
Skitter sounds in the wall
Had to go there
Barely killed them all

Spi – ders
They called us all down
To that place and attacked
All around us
Oh Spi – ders
We couldn’t let you be
We had to defeat
The Supreme
Mother Queen (do do do do do, do do do do do do , do did did do)

Found

Chorus
There is no greater joy around,
When once was lost, is found, is found
When what was lost is found

One so loved goes off and away
Stays in touch until
One day
No word, no news
Nothing heard, no clues
Could evil be at play?

Search far and wide, look here and there
Ride around
Ask for news, aware
A clue might bring,
In answering,
Answers too hard to bear

Chorus

Then finally, and just in time
Come upon a most
Evil crime
Defeating foes
The path we chose
To discovery most sublime

Reunion sweet, The loved one saved
From a terrible end
A cult depraved
And now our joy
In a foiled ploy
Worth the terrors we braved

Chorus

Together With Friends

The world is full of trouble and strife
And evil finds its way
But all we have to do my friends
Is look around us on this day
For the light is shining through the trees
In the forest all around
Surrounded by our steadfast friends
We know blessings abound, for

We’re together, together with friends this day
Riding along and finding our way
Together we travel, together we’re true
Through all that life brings, and what we must do
So, let’s enjoy the view

Each morning brings a brand-new start
We begin to plan our day
By afternoon there’s some surprise
We didn’t see coming our way
For good or for ill we cannot foretell
The fading light will show
By evening we may ponder then
All that we’ve come to know
…As the sun is sinking low, but

We’re together, together with friends this day
Staying open to life, come what may
We hope for tomorrow, and yesterday’s through
So let’s live for each day, both precious and new
As we look around, and enjoy… the view… friends
