Brigmore Lullaby Songtext
von Raphael Colantonio

After sparrows
Three times called
After gull does
Three times fall

Come maiden, mistress, mouse, and hen

Come a fisher, farmer
Frog and wren

Once a king dressed in red
Warmed by the flames on feather bed
While all the town starving cried
Chilled by winds, the Month of Ice

Eat them of frost
Eat them of snow
The monarch decreed
To them below


Up on a spike
They perched his head
Cursed his name
Burned his stead

Hush-a-bye, don′t be afright
Mama will sing through all the night
Many a hour before morning sun
Don't dream of horror yet to come

INSTRUMENTAL

After sparrows
Three times called
After gull does
Three times fall

Come maiden, mistress, mouse, and hen

Come a fisher, farmer
Frog and wren

Once a king dressed in red
Warmed by the flames on feather bed
While all the town starving cried

Chilled by winds, the Month of Ice
