Songs from Into the Mystic
Water, water everywhere,
and nary a drop to drink
Face the ningen if you dare,
they're tougher than you think
It doesn't matter where you go,
or even what you do
The water creatures always know,
just when to come for you
Darkness is their time to scare,
to pull you in the drink
Boat or skiff they do not care,
you'll feel your body sink
They will be back, they will not go,
until their task is through
And when they do, their angst will grow,
so here's what you must do
Take this shell, to guard with care,
signal us, and we'll be there
We're always closer than you think,
and from this duty we won't shrink
Please listen now before we go,
there's something else that you should know
River deep and water blue,
Mermaid's promise will hold true
The time has come to make amends
The days of darkness soon will end
And broken dreams that we can mend
For nothing stops the love between friends
Forget and forgive, forgive and forget
The best advice that I've heard yet
Forgive and forget, forget and forgive
The only way to truly live
Heed my words, I know what I say,
We're headed toward a better day
No need to whisper, it's time to shout
It's time to take care of Toddathon Tout
If you don't break and you don't bend
His reign of terror soon will end
Use love not malice to transcend
I died, and now I'm back again
It seems so hard to comprehend
This song I sing will never end
Just like an old and trusted friend
Someone to step up and defend
Until next time we meet again
I have a message you should send
What do you know and how do you do?
You're not someone I ever knew
Or ever paid a fond adieu
That's not important it doesn't matter
And it's not worth the chitter-chatter
All my thoughts they seem to scatter
Like my old bones that used to clatter
They called me old John David Crow
This much I remember, this much I know
But now I'm back, just look at me glow
Fast as a flash, no longer slow
My life went back a long, long way
Before the dawn of this new day
What caused this all? I cannot say
I only know it's underway
Consider the fate of Ophelia
Sleeping, perchance to dream
Consider the fate of the travelers lost,
Caught in a nightmare's scheme
Consider yourselves most fortunate,
There are those who truly do care
Consider these words as your final warning,
And only proceed if you dare
Consider what I'm trying to tell you
Consider the words to my song
Consider the fact that you're hopelessly lost
And you're going about this all wrong
