Bury My Mother Pale and Slight (Myla's Song)
Amalgemotion
Ma-na-na, ni-ne-na, ye-mi-ye-ta
Ma-na-na, ni-ne-na, yo-na-la
(Ke-ti-ya) ma-na-na, ni-ne-na, ye-mi-ye-ta
Ye-le-ki, ye-la-ka, no-na-na ye-le-ko
None shall enter, none shall leave
The king has sealed our kin
But we yet breathe, unite and grieve
And sing for those within
Gates will open: We take hope
And mourn till morning comes
Soon the knight will bring the day
It's this the crystal hums!
Oh, bury my mother, pale and slight
Bury my father with his eyes shut tight
Bury my sisters two by two
And then when you're done, let's bury me too!
Oh, bury the knight with her broken nail
Bury the lady, lovely and pale
Bury the priest in his tattered gown
Then bury the beggar with his shining crown!
None shall enter, none shall leave
The king has sealed our kin
But we yet breathe, unite and grieve
And sing for those within
Gates will open: We take hope
And mourn till morning comes
Soon the knight will bring the day
It's this the crystal hums!
Oh, bury the traitor marred by pride
Bury his daughter at her lover's side
Bury the sage and his sons all three
But save by their grave a space for me!
Oh, bury the smith and his blood-soaked art
Bury the writer with a broken heart
Bury the fool with their shield stained red
But ask them thrice to be sure that they are dead!
None shall enter, none shall leave
The king has sealed our kin
But we yet breathe, unite and grieve
And sing for those within
Gates will open: We take hope
And mourn till morning comes
Soon the knight will bring the day
It's this the crystal hums!
Oh, bury the teacher in her hallowed hall
Bury the watcher in his tower tall
Bury the beast in her silken cave
Then bury the one who dug their graves
Ma-na-na, ni-ne-na, ye-mi-ye-ta
Ma-na-na, ni-ne-na, yo-na-la
(Ke-ti-ya) ma-na-na, ni-ne-na, ye-mi-ye-ta
Ye-le-ki, ye-la-ka, no-na-na ye-le-ko
