For those like me who like the lyrics... HE OF THE SIDHE Music & Lyrics: Alexander James Adams By Winter’s light on Solstice night I watched the Wild Hunt go- With silver bells and savage yells, my frozen heart laid low- I watched them ride to the mortal side but I never tried to leave- I’d been self banned to Faerieland, forever there to grieve- The hunting horn and the sun reborn called Them from human ground- The Faerie Queen caused quite a scene with the artifact she’d “found”- A little wooden fiddle that she stole from mortal man- She played with glee so perfectly as only Faeries can! (Rights of Man) That simple song, before too long made my whole body shake- For deep inside, no more to hide, my soul was now awake! The Faerie chain that bound my pain was shattered by her tune- My frozen heart would break apart! I had to get out soon! BE IT CARVED FROM OUT THE FINEST WOOD OR STRUNG WITH SILVER STRING ONLY MORTAL TRUST OR FAERIE DUST CAN MAKE A FIDDLE SING! Then suddenly, Her Majesty gazed at me cold and hard- “I like to know where you would go, my humble hapless bard!” “The world out there is cruel to bear, but if you needs be free- Prove that you can, my mortal man, play better than the Sidhe!” (Queen’s solo) Her challenge played, all bets were laid, she beckoned unto me- I took the little fiddle and I held it tenderly- Remembering the painful thing from which I’d run away- I made the choice with this new voice to face it here today! (Boy’s solo) My heart’s refrain had cured my pain and the Queen said unto me- “Your inner fear has held you here, and now my lad, you’re free!” “This fiddling pride I’ll lay aside, it’s brought me little joy”- I’ve lost one whirl to a red haired girl, and now to you my boy!
