Cenny's Starry Count-a-bye
((sung in style of a children's rhyme))
Dear mother, dear father, see my window to-night? Dear father, dear mother, do you see the heavens in sight?
Said mother, said father, look up to the skies... / Said mother, said father, they reflect in your eyes...
Skip one star, skip two stars, and pass Demon's Eyes... / Skip three stars, skip four stars, share in Miranda's Smile...
Dear mother, dear father, did you see that star fall? Dear mother, dear father, does its landing to you call?
Said mother, said father, tis an omen of change... / Said mother, said father, 'neath the heavens vast range...
Skip five stars, skip six stars, and chase those as they fly... / Skip seven stars, skip eight stars, until they see you sigh...
Dear mother, dear father, if I close my eyes now... / Dear mother, dear father, will star-light bless my brow?
Said mother, said father, just wait 'til you dream... / Said mother, said father, 'neath the twinkling lights keen...
Skip nine stars, skip ten stars, may they carry you 'way from harm... / Skip to the very horizon, and then back into our arms...
Cenny's Battle
((sung like a prayer given song form, soft and yearning))
Many turns saw pain... / With no proof anything would come...
Our hands circled in prayer of hope...
For a hist'ry barely understood...
Yet our fear ne'er overcame... / Although the fell grew all around...
We bled the mountain's secrets long before we dreamt of this...
We sang of victory long before we thought we could...
Upon the queen's strong word... / Whilst demons of all ilk poured forth...
With cannons once of chance or fear...
We broached the walls of old...
And then our foe within... / Though many powers unknown stood 'round...
Though secrets whispered there...
Shan't shake from us a victory we daren't call foretold...
Cenny's Liege
((curious and dancing melody, sharpened with mysterious tone))
Shall ye sing a song with me? Shall ye of royal lady remember?
Shall invite ye now to dance...? As we did with a memory now embers..
Shall ye charge into the fray...? When royal lady bids us to enter...?
Shall ye share a wish with me...? As we do at the end of each winter...?
Shall we share these turns again? As we share whence she descends?
Shall we beckon all speak soft? Awaiting her word 'til the land we defend...?
Not all silks... / Not all gowns / Not all fine'ry and blood-bound...
Not just curtsies... / Not just bows... / Not just respects going the table round...
May-be think a dream of Caer... / May-be think more than can be real...
May-be think a crown speaks all...
But neither skirts nor words lack steel...
Cenny's Flippant
((light and playful melody))
Oh, now friends....
I could tell ya of a fella, give you some gossip of one too, but that's not what I'm going to do...
I could tell you of his gator, or could save that for later, but then we'd have a zoo to go through...
I could tell you of his pocket, maybe suggest that he forgets to lock it, but that's not exactly true...
I could tell you instead this chorus, until I have you cheering for us, but it's 'tween me and you...
Richy-itchy-itchy-itch, boy and I thought that one was a snitch. Rata-tata-tata-plat, thought I'd have it like that.
Scritchy-scritchy-itch-my-back, boy and an ale for my snack. Rata-tata-tata-plat, thought I'd have it like that...
I could tell you of the furnace, suggest it's ever used in earnest, but I really can't say...
I could tell you of his sales, of Branishor's special ales, but that's for another day...
I could mention of his wiles, how they mesh with his style, but not on this turn...
I could tell you of his gambling, and really get to rambling, but we'll settle for the last one that he burned...
Richy-itchy-itchy-itch, boy and I thought I knew which was which. Rata-tata-tata-plat, gonna find a way to sell these buggers back.
Scritchy-scritchy-itch-my-back, boy and I thought my roguedom was a fact. Rata-tata-tata-plat, at least lice don't eat all've it like a rat!
Cenny's Wild Beckoning
((soft and ghostly melody))
Once upon...a quiet wood... / Awwwooooo-who? Awwwooooo-who?
Skittering paws shuffling as they would... / Awwwooooo-who? Awwwooooo-who?
Sniffling nose and snapping jaws... / Awwwooooo-who? Awwwwoooo-who?
Not far off and trembling ground... / A beast of burden with no complaining sound...
Once upon...a quiet field... / A moooooooo-who? A mooooooo-who?
Heavy feet upon the world.... / A moooooo-who? A moooooo-who?
Ne'er go where farm meets wild... / A mooooo-who? A moooooo-who?
Not long after that quiet spring... / Steadier paws from woods would spring...
Once upon a fence divide... / Awwwwooooo-who? A moooooo-who?
Beast did snort and wild wuffed.... / Awwwwwoooo-who? A mooooooo-who?
Wild paws upon broad snout... / Bright-eyed sniffs to figure out...
Beast did snort and scuff and shake... / Near to cause the ground to quake...
Wild dives to fence again... / Awwwwooooo-do? A moooooo-shoo?
Wild yips and darts and skips... / Promising promises of woodland trips...
Awwwooooo-who? Awwwoooo-you. / A moooooo-who? A mooooo-do.
