Original song by the fabulous PhemieC! Covered modestly and with respect.

Furever (cover by Rosielord)

A song for Brother Faulkner

Lyrics <3

The youngest son
The least of three
Pulled up from obscurity

The youngest son
The thirsting one 
The chosen witness of the flood

Oh The prophet learned the song
Of water cold, of breath that’s gone

And the prophet held the weight of that
Revelation on his brothers back 

The young man caught, in rivers flow 
Had still a hundred miles to go 

Crushed and crumpled at the gate
He’d learn his lesson first to wait

Waist deep in mud and deathly still
The prophet knew the water’s will

He knew he had not come to fail
That his work would be to great avail

And when the young man first turned flesh 
To the form his rushing god had wished 
And formed a saint from heresy 
His failure was for none to see 

Upon deeper truth they would alight 
This is the part they will not right

The break in heart, or gut or will
Washed away with all the swill

The youngest son
The hungry one 
Has writ his name in silt and blood

And when his time and work is done
His melody 
Will still live on

Oh his verse will still be sung
Oh his verse will still be sung
Oh! His verse will still be sung

The Prophet’s Song

Lyrics:

Darling,
can you hear me singing?
It's a requiem for you,
the love I once knew
In your dreamland,
are we holding hands?
Did you choose to be with me?
The rain falls so softly
onto my skin
as I sing an elegy
for what might have been
The waves call me, gently,
to my dearest heart --
I'll sleep in them, softly;
soon you will see me
The lights begin to fade
but I am not afraid
I am on my way

【Homestuck-Horizon】 Sarabande + original vocals & lyrics

Lyrics by Lumi Sea

Original Composition by Lumi Sea

with excerpt from Suburban Jungle by Micheal Guy Bowman with permission

[S] Cascade - Cast Recording

A violinist plays his song with passion and vibrato
but when I try to sing along, it's like I'm singing solo
the cinema in Chelsea plays films with heartbreak and yearning
but when I breathe the air it tastes like charcoal, ash, and burning
I don't go to hospitals, no there I dare not tread
for a place that's saving lives, it holds so many dead.

Am I insane, or am I just different? 
Do I need glasses that block out the light?
They would have shades to block out the darkness
that always is perched at the edge of my sight.

When I walk up the stairs at school I leave a trail of mud
but soon my sneakers start to swell and overflow with
fluid that's hot and red, sticky and staining and
maybe it's okay, maybe I'm not just going crazy
but is it worse to bear a curse and see what no one else sees?
people made of mist are nice, although they have no hearts in
I only wish that some of them would keep their body parts in.

Am I insane, or am I just different? 
Do I need glasses that block out the light?
They would have shades to block out the darkness
that always is perched at the edge of my sight.

Transparent skeletons, blood clear as glass, and the echoing screeches of souls who have passed.
Why is this happening, why can't they see it, how long must I suffer, how long will it last?

Am I insane, or am I just different? 
Do I need glasses that block out the light?
They would have shades to block out the darkness
that always is perched at the edge of my sight.

You know when you spend your whole life fighting for the one you love, only to be left behind and figure out who you are?

This song is dedicated to my favorite space knight, Pearl. It took forever to record but it was worth it. Cover art is by the fabulous artist bao-haus on tumblr. Make sure to check out the rest of her art!

I used to wonder what my purpose was
what I was meant to do
and then my purpose found a synonym; that synonym was you.
I know I don’t have all the answers yet, but I’m always finding more
and I’ve the answer to just one question:
What am I fighting for?

That which we call a Rose by any other name
would be someone who I’d die for
I know she’d do the same.
And that which I call my heart has forever been claimed
and there will come a time, when I’ll be by your side
and I will finally know my place, I’ll finally know my place

These days I suffer no delusions
I know why I was made
but lately I’ve started to wonder; why must I be what they say?
And so I built a new foundation
and I put you at its core
but now you’re gone and I can’t stop searching
but what am I searching for?

That which we call a Rose by any other name
would be something that I could love
perhaps with time, someday.
And that which I call my home is oft subject to change
but there will come a time, and there will come a day
I’ll finally know my place, I’ll finally know my place

I never wanted to be a mother
I only wanted to be your other half
But in the light of recent changes
I’ve learned that life sometimes rearranges
and maybe what broke your heart could give you a new one
and maybe what broke your heart could give you a new one

That which we call a Rose by any other name
would be made of the one I love
I’ll love them all the same
and that which I call my life
I’ve taken by the reigns
I think that now’s the time, I think today’s the day
I’ve finally found my place, I see it right there in your face

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES - main theme

Say hello to your new ultimate history jam, folks. Get down to the funky beats with Frederick the Great, king of Prussia.

Special thanks to the amazing Stephanie Guralnick and Declan Ryan for playing violin and piano, respectively.

------------------
When I was young, I tried to run from fate
I ran but I tripped and I fell
and destiny got the best of me
so I took it and I wore it well.
I put down my flute, I picked up my gun
and though i’ve fought more wars than I’ve won
I don’t pick and choose cause if I lose I’ll just come back again
say hello to Silesia!

When I was young I loved a boy
and so my father put a bullet through his head.
I had to watch and so I thought, I would learn to love the state instead.
Love the land as long as you own it, 
love the throne as long as long as it’s your throne, it doesn’t matter.
Love the crown as long as it’s upon your head, 

or until you’re dead, dead. Buried in the ground.
six feet under a glittering crown.
Dead, dead, better dig it down.
Down down down.

So you think you can take me? You think you can break me down?
You think you can make me? You think you can take me out?
You think you can beat me? Well, Maria Theresa thought so too.
I’m the soldier son of the soldier king so hey, you wanna go in the ring? Go!

So what am I to you? A crown? A name? 
I did what I could do, you’d do the same.
I fought and I expanded, I taught the empty-handed
To grow a newer world on land that I won
(one) second of you life is all it takes to win to lose to make a mistake
If you wanna do what you can, you gotta make the plans
You gotta do it all, make the tough calls.
There’s a way the world works. Everything is just so
My empire’s empirical and data is a must, so
I read up and I bring it down and
I rose up and I took the crown and
Who’d’ve thought a poet, a quiet child could go it
In the ring as a king, well that’s the thing!

When I am alive, they’ll bow to me
And when I’m dead they’ll bow to my grave.
They’ll never say I didn’t try
And they’ll never say that I wasn’t brave.
They’ll remember me after I’m late, 
There’s a reason why they call me The Great.
Potatoes or politics, take your pick
I got both on my resume. Hey!


Now, I run my nation with justification of my actions and facts to back me up
cause I’m enlightened. Don’t be frightened if I seem a bit unnerving
let me tell you, I’m deserving of my power ‘cause I wield it like a king
class and status ain’t gonna give you brains,
you gotta have what it takes and make your own damn way to the top
I know that I was born into this crown, 
but I am sailing like a ship where other monarchs have drowned.
So you can dirty my name, make me into a god
to cleanse your Germany of vermin, well I guess you forgot
that I read my Voltaire, and I know that nothing national
can ever beat the fact that man is rational.
So if I gotta go down in history, then history is going down with me!

So you think you can take me? You think you can break me down?
You think you can make me? You think you can take me out?
You think you can beat me? Well, Maria Theresa thought so too.
I’m the soldier son of the soldier king so hey, you wanna go in the ring? Go!

The Great

Lyrics:
i gUess i've spent all my life inspiring, admiring
silently wishing i'd wake Up and suddenly i woUld be, finally
someone who isn't the monster i am
someone who doesn't pretend
someone who's finally worthy of
the ones who i dare to befriend 

i can write stories, and i can sing odes
i can draw portraits and cosplay alone
dying the coloUr of my emerald skin
knowing i'm playing a game i won't win
please call for me
calliope
please wake me Up when I go. 

i know that soon i'll be challenged inevitably, regretably
i will be dead, it's certain that no one can bring me back, that's a fact
althoUgh if i give oUt my name
throw oUt the rUles and try
i know things won't be the same
bUt this way i'd still be alive

rogUe of void, please hold onto my lifeline
i have space, bUt my brother has time

Lyrics: 

She’s resplendent, so confident

The Seine, the Seine, the Seine

I realize I’m hypnotized

The Seine, the Seine, the Seine

I hear the moon singing a tune

The Seine, the Seine, the Seine

Is she divine? It is the wine?

The Seine, the Seine, the Seine

I don’t know, don’t know, so don’t ask me why

That’s how we are, the Seine and I

I don’t know, don’t know, so don’t ask me why

That’s how we are, the Seine and I

I feel alive when I’m beside

The Seine, the Seine, the Seine

From this angle like an angel

The Seine, the Seine, the Seine

I don’t know, don’t know, so don’t ask me why

That’s how we are, the Seine and I

I don’t know, don’t know, so don’t ask me why

That’s how we are, the Seine and I

Upon the bridge

My hear does beat

Between the waves

We will be saved

The air we breathe

Can you believe?

Learn to forgive upon the bridge (?)

That’s how we are, the Seine and I

That’s how we are, the Seine and I

That’s how we are, the Seine and I

That’s how we love, the Seine and I

Jolene (A Cautionary Tale)

I Drown (An Archivist Fansong)

LYRICS:

JON
Tim, you haven’t seen that box of blank tapes anywhere, have you? Oh, Sasha, could you look into any mention of this book in the records? Martin, for the last time, no hot beverages around the technology!

It isn’t easy
Making sense of all this mess
But I shall simply have to try my best
For now

I’ve tried to digitise
These old, archaic archives
But I’ve been trying
For a lifetime
It seems

TIM
Jon?

JON
Yes, what is it?

TIM
Were you planning on labelling any of the tapes you record?

JON
Just play the first few seconds, it’ll be evident which statements they are by the introductions.

TIM
Right, it’s just that you’ve then got to rewind them with a pencil and it’s all a bit time consuming—

JON
Not now!

TIM
Alright, boss.

It makes my skin crawl
The way he speaks to us all
He may be stressed
But it’s depressing
That’s not what I need

JON
Sasha, did you find anything?

SASHA
I’m afraid not.

JON
Yes, I thought as much. Another baseless story.

SASHA
I did meet this very strange man, though. He had hands like claws—

JON
Not now, Sasha.

SASHA
And there was this man just covered in worms—

JON
Not now!

SASHA
But — wait — Jon!

Lately I’ve not been myself
I’ve felt like I’ve been someone else
This job is so degrading
I have a degree

JON
Martin.

MARTIN
What is it now? What have I done wrong now?

JON
I… Just wanted to ask if you were making tea.

MARTIN
Oh.

I just wish that I
Could make them all see eye to eye
I’m tired, sick of all the tension in the air

Jon, Sasha, Tim and I
Are doing mostly fine
But still I sometimes fear
That something else is living here

/ OVERLAPPING VOICES:

SASHA
Lately I’ve not been myself
I’ve felt like I’ve been someone else
This job is so degrading

MARTIN
I just wish that I
Could make them all see eye to eye
But it’s proving very difficult so far

TIM
The way he speaks to us all
He may be stressed but it’s depressing

JON
I’ve been trying for a lifetime it seems

TIM
That’s not what I need

SASHA
I have a degree!

/

TIM
Pub tonight?

SASHA
Yeah, go on. Martin?

MARTIN
I’m there.

ELIAS
Hello, Jon. How’s work? I’ve been keeping an eye on you. I just want to ensure you’re settling in to your new position. With any luck, you’ll soon come to see yourself as the essential part of the archives that you are. Sincerely, your boss, Elias Bouchard.

P.S take some time to absorb everything. It can be quite overwhelming, but I’m sure, with time, and a little supervision, you’ll find that you're truly in your element here.

/ OVERLAPPING VOICES:

SASHA
Trying to survive
In the Archive x3

MARTIN
How the hell can I
Make them all see eye to eye

JON
I am so damn tired!

TIM
Fuck the Archive!

MARTIN
He’s stubborn, he’s a joker
And she’s too good to be here

JON/MARTIN
I’m so damn tired/You look so tired

JON
Why did it have to be me?

TIM
Or me!

SASHA
Or me!

MARTIN
Why me?

Threadbare Web (A Martin K. Blackwood Fansong)

I wrote this song before s5 came out but I have a feeling it's only going to get more relevant...  👀
If you like this version, check out the acoustic rendition on my youtube channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc_9lKAc0KY

LYRICS
The world I thought I knew is starting to change
things that once were normal now are frightening and strange
I don't know who I can trust if I can trust at all
there's no way of telling who's been captured by the thrall

All this paranoia seems to grip me like a vice
but after all that I've seen I can't help but think I'm right
I can feel the walls close in with how the silence drones
but I still can't shake the feeling that I'm not alone

I can feel you watching me

I can see with my eyes closed but the visions are terrifying
I hear voices that echo with the truths that they are denying
I can feel it in my head but where does it start and where do I end
I've had to cheat and hide and lie
is there still a human soul behind my eyes

Everybody seems to know what's wrong and what's right
but what's for the greater good and what will tear me up inside
I can hear the darkness call each day more and more
but is straying from the light what it'll take to win this war
this war

I keep on stealing words right out of your mouth
doesn't matter if I mean to cos the questions just come out
maybe if I save the world I'll finally be free
but I don't know if that's possible with everything I've seen

I can feel you watching me

I can see with my eyes closed but the visions are terrifying
I hear voices that echo with the truths that they are denying
I can feel it in my head but where does it start and where do I end
I've had to cheat and hide and lie
is there still a human soul behind my eyes

I've left the realm of reality
I'm against a force that's greater than me 
and all that I know could be lost
but no matter the cost
after the bridges I've crossed
it's too late to retreat

I can see with my eyes closed but the visions are terrifying
I hear voices that echo with the truths that they are denying
I can feel it in my head but where does it start and where do I end
I've had to cheat and hide and lie
is there still a human soul

So many friends have lost their lives
is there still a human soul behind
my eyes
