lyrics

Her teeth are sharp, but her tongue is twice as dangerous
When she speaks with ignorance
She's been carried far
And become too willing to trust the words of deceitful ones

And at winter's edge she takes off her dress
Woven to protect
At the wolves request she takes off her dress
She favors something less

She favors acceptance

Her sisters stand between her and who would do her harm
But she doesn't see their scars
And she turns her back for she is sure there's no cause for alarm
So she doesn't see them fall

And at winter's edge she takes off her dress
Woven to protect
At the wolves request she takes off her dress
She favors something less

But they favor her flesh

Her sisters rise and wipe the blood from their eyes
With what they wear with pride; what she has denied
They go unheard as the wolves eye what their lies have earned
They know there's no use for words; some lessons must be learned

Oh, girl what have you been sold?
When you do what you're told others will reap all you sow
And leave you in the cold
Oh, girl where have you to go?
You betrayed all of those who once had called you their own
For those who would cut your throat

So pray that it's not too late to make it home

Bastion: Original Soundtrack
by Darren Korb

I'm a big fan of videogame soundtracks and this is one of my favorites. It's an excellent blend of traditional instruments and electronic groove with a few gorgeous vocal tracks for good measure. The Lighthouse Keeper

Our Sky, Becoming The Void
by A Flooded Skyline

This album caught my attention because the guy behind it did everything himself the same way I do, but it held it because it's a great instrumental work with a terrific mix of styles and dynamics. The Lighthouse Keeper
