Lyrics I was made in darkest night Of chalky ash and children's fright I do not think you know what you behold I was made of aching hurt Of fairy tales and bloody dirt I hope you do exactly as you're told Siegfried and Saint George Potter, Baggins, Beowulf Were tempered in my forge So I say to you and yours: All caught fire in the ivory tower In the marble arches In the dust and darkness And I have you on my mind Once a mighty tree was grown For you to know all that is known I hope you hear exactly what I say And by your sword a branch came down And where the blood fell to the ground It is my cradle and there I must stay And should ever you return Well I must confess my story to be true You will be burned And I hope that you have learned All caught fire in the ivory tower In the marble arches In the dust and darkness And all caught fire in the ivory tower And I have you on my mind You're on my mind You're on my mind
Somebody I know is learning guitar and their teacher has them learning "hell's coming with me" by poor mans poison. And god damn if the first few bars aren't the same exact melody as this song with a simple progression. Does anybody else hear it?
Still here. 2020
Lyrics
I was made in darkest night
Of chalky ash and children's fright
I do not think you know what you behold
I was made of aching hurt
Of fairy tales and bloody dirt
I hope you do exactly as you're told
Siegfried and Saint George
Potter, Baggins, Beowulf
Were tempered in my forge
So I say to you and yours:
All caught fire in the ivory tower
In the marble arches
In the dust and darkness
And I have you on my mind
Once a mighty tree was grown
For you to know all that is known
I hope you hear exactly what I say
And by your sword a branch came down
And where the blood fell to the ground
It is my cradle and there I must stay
And should ever you return
Well I must confess my story to be true
You will be burned
And I hope that you have learned
All caught fire in the ivory tower
In the marble arches
In the dust and darkness
And all caught fire in the ivory tower
And I have you on my mind
You're on my mind
You're on my mind
This song is amazing
Fuck yeah! Nothing hotter than a smart girl singing some fantasy ballad
Well sung.
