A Toast

from Thirty Little Turns by Tempest

/

about

Lief wrote the music to Patricia’s haunting lyric, inspired by Viking lore and legend. Josh and Ab penned the fugue intro and outro.

lyrics

Here’s to all that holds you up
When flanked by sky and wave
And here’s to the smile that stays behind
To kindle and to save
And here’s to the bright atop deep greens
That leads us ever on
And here’s to the warring heart of queens
And the treasure that will be won

Here’s to a love and here’s to a land
And the blood for each was spilt
And here’s to the axe that fit a hand
By which our world was built
And here’s to the power of a word
That paused on a quivering lip
And here’s to the treacherous sailing bird
That sank a beautiful ship

Here’s to all that holds you up
When flanked by sky and wave
And here’s to the smile that stays behind
To kindle and to save
And here’s to what was worth a life
That sleeps in the cold below
The golden shapes of human strife
Where never a man may go
