***LYRICS*** 

The golden crunch of settled leaves 
And Autumn colours falling where
It seems not even one perceives
The changes felt within the air 

From gentle flow to icy breeze
A sour shift provokes unease
The future harder to discern
Uncertain of the Sun's return 


The light must stay away a while
And winter brings an empty wait
Without it there it's hard to smile
No longer lit, we hibernate 

A home-shaped prison, hollow test
Of lonliness at winter's crest
But even though the heart will yearn
The moon awaits the sun's return 


[Instrumental]


The sun does not replace the moon
But beam upon the darkest days 
So in the spring the flowers bloom;
A child's wish, a lover's gaze 

And in the night illuminate
The memories not lost to fate
While in the light we now can learn
At last to feel the sun's return

***DEDICATION***

Writen for Mara as part of the Dorym Nation Secret Santa 2022, who requested 

"orym teaching dorian winter's crest traditions and dorian composing a carol as a gift :D"

Inspired by Critical Role, in particular Dorian and Orym and, by extension, Will.  Thank you Robbie and Liam and Matt for bringing these characters to life for us all <3 

I like to imagine Dorian writing this for Orym as a way of acknowledging both their own individual journeys and their connection with each other. And whilst there are many layers of symbolism going on, there's no need to know about Critical Role to enjoy the music as it works just as well as a stand-alone winter song.

This was made with no professional recording kit, so goals for the future is to get this professionally recorded and make a cosplay music video too.

The Sun's Return

When I wake up I feel so low the world is falling
And all the space between my thoughts is filled with doubts
I try to rise and then I fall again I am calling
For a new way to be free from my old wounds

Deep from the darkness  comes the sound of an unfolding
I see the light of all my friends surrounding me
I am not alone I am not a fraud cause I am trying to be me
And bring the change I want to see 

Be kind and beee the kind you want to be
Be kind and see the world transform within
Be kind and be the new reality
Offer some tea to critic within

Be kind and be the kind you want to be
BeNe kind and see the world transform within (ooo)
Be kind to be the new reality
Offer some tea to the critic within

At night i hear the many thoughts my mind is churning
I fear the conflict that the media keeps feeding
I take a breath shed a few tears again i am trying to remember what it feels to feel at peace

I gather courage and I head down to the forest
Then see the moon caressing the trees
I throw some pebbles in the water 
 I feel the   ripples emerging  within 

Deep from the darkness comes the spark of an unfolding
I feel connected to the dreaming dreaming me
I am not alone i not a fraud  cause i am living to be free and be the change i am meant to be!

Be Kind And BE

Usually I recycle unfinished or plain bad tracks so they can actually be released in some shape or form. This one wasn't easy to rework and I couldn't be bothered to continue trying. If you're able to do anything with it, it's downloadable

I got cross at this because I couldn't develop it so it sat alone on my hard drive for 4 months

horny for this one

Shakti Ye

Poem:
When the way is clear, and sunlight shines,
We pursue our way.
With nary a fear, we follow straight lines
Day after blinding day.

Put the path gets blocked, and the sky turns black,
Forcing us to pause,
And leave, with shock, our narrow track
For one with fewer flaws. 

When the sky is blue and the grass is green
We seldom check to see
If our pathway through this verdant scene
Leads toward harmony.

Then danger shakes our selfish minds,
We look to the sky,
New lives to make, new paths to find;
Listen to her reply:

“Live your lives,” says she, “with keen respect 
For your brothers of the Earth.
To be truly free, you must protect
Them with majesty and mirth.

“The ocean and air, forest, hill, and plain,
Animal in flight,
Are in your care. Rejoice in the rain
And walk in the way of light.”
