This song is a tribute to my dear friend, Meredith Bamberger, who passed away in May of 2018. She was the person who pushed me to pursue my passion in music, and I wanted to honor and immortalize our friendship in my music.

Lyrics:

I can’t sleep
Without the thought or fever dream
Of you right next to me

And cold air swells
And billows ‘round my dusty shelves
Where dreams of past lay be

Do you too keep
A ghost of me to help you sleep
When nights are dark and long

And when you wake
Does your heart also sorely ache
From time wasted and gone

[Bridge]

Can I stay?
And can I play your night away
And sing love in your ear

And when day breaks
Do all your glances doubletake
In case I might be there

So if you sit
Restless in a sleepless fit
That keeps you from your dreams

Let this night
Pass you as this lullaby
Drifts you off to me

Insomniac Lovers' Lullaby

The tale of a man plucked from his time to a place many tomorrows far from his home...

Lyrics:
Amid the drifts of time
To places none can see
Into the empty nothingness
The currents carry me

But hark, a twinkling light
That pierces through the dark
To guide me through the tumbling waves
Across this sea of stars

And then before my eyes
The field I left behind
Had spent a thousand years away
While my time did abide

And where the roses bloomed
Were towers to the sky
So too the forest trees were gone
Without a last goodbye

So taken, was I, hence
Tomorrows far from home
Until I reach my yesterday
It’s now that I must roam

To seek a twinkling light
That pierces through the dark
To guide me through those tumbling waves
Across that sea of stars

- Lyrics -
[Verse 1]
A ship sunk by stone
And a house burning down to the ground
The first fists are thrown
And the darkness is gathered around

The archives still bleed
And the screams of the fallen still echo
The fighting concedes
But the city is filled up with sorrow

[Chorus 1]
When your mind floods with fear
And when the skies turn dark
Know your heroes are near
Courage in their hearts
And the shadows depart

[Verse 2]
We were taken by storm
While the roads they patrol bathe in doubt
They see how she’s torn
In the City of Legends without

Heroes to guide them
To take them to places beyond
A tower to hide them
And a coliseum casting its shadow

[Chorus 2]
When your mind floods with fear
And when the skies turn dark
Know your heroes are near
Courage in their hearts
And the shadows depart (the shadows depart) 
And the shadows depart (oh, the city, she bleeds all over me)

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Quiet nights, all alone
Staring at my phone
I see your name in the light
And it’s less lonelier that night
Lay in grass at the park
Sharing secrets in the dark
And it was hard for me to see
‘Cause I hated myself and you loved me

[Chorus 1]
Oh, my sweet M
Wish you wouldn’t go to sleep
At least you weren’t lonely when you needed me

[Verse 2]
We were young like we are now
How do you get old, anyhow?
Growing old and growing up
Is just drinking from a different cup
Well we never got the chance
To do all our grown up plans
And now my heart’s heavy and sore
‘Cause you won’t grow older anymore

[Chorus 2]
Oh, my sweet M
We were invincible
At least that’s what we convinced ourselves

[Verse3]
So it is, now that you’re gone
I finally wrote, for you, a song
But there’s too many words to say
And you know them anyway
The best of me’s because of you
And you’d say that isn’t true
But you listen to me girl
‘Cause you’re worth more than the whole damn world

[Chorus 3]
Oh, my sweet M
Now I must say goodnight
And I lay you down with this lullaby

Lyrics:

I am alone
Don’t pass me by
Nothing but clouds
Up in the sky

Feet falling heavy
As I travel the slopes
I carry a message
Filled with courage of hope

So if you send me a sign
Then I won’t lose my way
And I’ll meet you on the shore
When our time falls away

Drowning in fear
There’s no escape
Fighting for life
While death’s jaws await

I crawl through the shadows
In a valley of death
Stranded on the beach
Till there’s none of her left

But if you show me a light
Then I won’t go astray
And I’ll meet you on the shore
When our time falls away

Just help me fight back the night
And we can turn it to day
And I’ll meet you on the shore
When our time falls away

-Lyrics-

[Verse 1]
Long ago in a land unseen
Near a village ruled by no king or queen
A forest stood with a beating heart
A girl was born bom a branch’s bark

[Verse 2]
Her hair was black with the soot of blood
With eyes of bronze and a face unflawed
A cool, light step, and her skin was fair
The smell of the autumn breeze on her air

[Chorus 1]
Her breath is warm, and her voice is fire
She sings to me, so let the flames climb higher
Her heart’s a puzzle and her love’s a trove
The girl who lives in the ashwood grove

[Verse 3]
She showed me how I could love again
We wrote each other without page or pen
She gave me courage, and I gave her wings
But my voice was tied, and it would not sing

[Bridge]

[Verse 4]
I tried to speak, but I never could
Now she’s moved on to some other woods
Years from now in a far off land
I’ll only wish I had held her hand

[Chorus 1]
Her breath is warm, and her voice is fire
She sings to me, so let the flames climb higher
Her heart’s a puzzle and her love’s a trove
The girl who lives in the ashwood grove

[Chorus 2]
Her voice is fire, but her voice is gone
I cannot feel, so let the cold freeze on
Her love, I’ll find, so the world, I’ll rove
The girl who lived in the ashwood grove

Lyrics:

Despite the kiss I just gave you
These eyes of passion mean nothing.
I know you’re mad with this new truth,
But that’s just part of the program.
I know it’s hard, but don’t you see?
Your hello will soon be your goodbye.
Nothing lasts, oh don’t you know?
Take it slow.
Don’t hurry.

Lately, love’s just a new pain
That I’m just not up for feeling.
Tomorrow might be a new day,
But I'm alive in the evening.
At another dancing hall
Dragging till I can’t feel me at all.
Just a little trick I play
While we sway.
I’m sorry.

Please don’t feel like you have to adore me.
All my act is to feel like a could-be.
I play love like I played all your heartstrings.
For now we’re having fun,
But you’ll hate me when we’re done.
These suits and shoes make me look like a charmer.
All you see is my invisible armor.
Now you’re all I have, but I’m still lonely
 
Spinning round in crowds of silk coats and soft fur.
Every face passes by in a quick blur.
I can’t help that they all look just like her.
Oh, I can’t shake it off,
And the heartache doesn’t stop.
So even though I downed the drink you just gave me,
Falling to the floor and landing on both knees,
Please don’t ask me why I’m crying.

Miles pass on the highway
While we drift off in a taxi
But I can still feel the lights sway
And then you whisper to ask me
“You have such a warming voice
How could your kiss be as cold as ice?”
You’ll just have to be my flame
Till morning breaks
Don’t worry

I’m just playing games
I know that’s plastic love
Dance to the plastic beat
Another morning comes

Lyrics:

I stumbled 'pon a man
On a road not far Kaer Morhen            
His hair as white as the snow

A wolf upon his chest
And a sword of shining silver
A hunter of the dire monster foe

I kept him at my side
As we walked the woods together
For a fool was I not on this night

A rustlin’ from the brush
And a shadow tow’red before us
A beast, a monster, a blight

Oh, a monster's teeth are sharp
But a Witcher's wits are sharper
And he leaped as a white wolf at feed
As blade and claw exchanged
And the night grew only darker
The beast, from his head, was he freed

We parted ways at dawn
Where the road split ever onward
We now at the mercy of fate

I found the man again
Where the Dyphne joins the Pontar          
A siren at the edge of his blade

Then down, the Witcher fell
In the currents of the river
The hunter had seemed met his end

Then up he came again
And I scarcely could believe it
For a siren's head, had he, in his hands

Oh, a monster's teeth are sharp
But a Witcher's whits are sharper
And it seems that he can't meet defeat
No hell or beast can stand 
When a Witcher's set upon them
And their end, they’ll be all glad to meet

I met him yet again
In a tavern by the roadside
And I paid for the tab as we dined

We drank deep of the ale
Till the ale stopped in its flowing
Our ears caught a howl in the night

Then ran the Witcher out
And the crowd was close behind him
As he charged with a blade in his hands

He came back from the dark
With the monster’s head a-danglin’
The lycan who’d been plaguing these lands

Oh, a monster's teeth are sharp
But a Witcher's wits are sharper
And there’s none who can say what’s in store
The claw and fang can fight
But they’ll fall like any other
When he goes on his quest evermore

Sharp as a Witcher

Sharp As A Witcher

A new, original song to celebrate the soon to release film, Dune!  "Arrakis" was a piece I wrote the last time I read the book four years ago, taking influence from the imagery of Paul and Lady Jessica's trek through the sandy wastlelands of Dune.  Outstanding artwork by Perp3tual.

Arrakis (The Desert Road)

Muircat is a genre-defying, ground-breaking artist whose music combines modern production philosophies with traditional storytelling and lyricism. With a voice equally suited for lullabies or Opera, Muircat brings his unique brand of poeticism and passion to bear by actively defying tropes in both Pop Music and the Celtic Folk music that inspired him via his own “Neobardic” genre. When not writing new music, Muircat is heavily involved in the development of Tabletop Games, and composes music for Video Games and Film.
