A song for the rebels and refugees and exiles of Arctra...

We Will Go Home (Song of Exile) - Leah

Land of bear and land of eagle Land that gave us birth and blessing Land that called us ever homewards We will go home across the mountains

We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains

Land of freedom, land of heroes Land that gave us hope and memories Hear our singing hear our longing We will go home across the mountains

We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains

Land of sun and land of moonlight Land that gave us joy and sorrow Land that gave us love and laughter We will go home across the mountains

We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains

When the land is there before us We have gone home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains

The Parting Glass - The Wailin' Jennys

Oh all the money that e'er I spent
I spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had
Are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had
Would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

Hanging By A Thread - Nickel Creek

There's a kind of emptiness that can fill you There's a kind of hunger that can eat you up There's a cold and darker side of the moonlight And there's a lonely side of love

With you here Baby, I am strong No sign of weakness With you gone Baby, I am hanging by a thread

There's a certain kind of pain that can numb you There's a type of freedom that can tie you down Sometimes the unexplained can define you And sometimes silence is the only sound

With you here Baby, I am strong No sign of weakness With you gone Baby, I am hanging by a thread

With you here Baby, I am strong No sign of weakness With you gone Baby, I am hanging by a thread

A song that could have been for Liam and Shaye during their long separation...

Forever Autumn - Justin Hayward

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now 'cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here 'cause you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn 'cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here, 'cause you're not here

Pieces - Dan Powell

Took a change to see me Now that you believe me It's like I'm dreaming sweetly When you're here beside me

And I have never felt so Like I've found which way to go When you touch me gently I remember how you know

And the sun shines rings around your smile And I'm here laughing like a child There's just one place love can start With the pieces of my heart

Changed my stars to find you Lost the mask and broke through No more secrets from you I would lose to love you

And I have never felt so Like a man that's been set free I can spread my arms now You can place your trust in me

And the sun shines rings around your smile And I'm here laughing like a child There's just one place love can start With the pieces of my heart

I can't stand to lose you To break would never get through And I can only love you If I use all the pieces of my heart

And the sun shines rings around your smile And I'm here laughing like a child There's just one place love can start With the pieces of my heart

Out of the Woods - Nickel Creek

I wish you out of the woods And into a picture, with me I wish you over the moon Come out of the question, and be

If this is gonna Run, round, in my head I might as well be dreaming Run, round, in my head

I roller coaster for you Time out of mind Must be heavenly It's all enchanted and wild It's just like my heart said It's gonna be

If this is gonna Run, round, in my head I might as well be dreaming Run, round, in my head

I wish you out of the woods And into the picture, with me I wish you over the moon Come out of the question, and be

If this is gonna Run, round, in my head I might as well be dreaming Run, round, in my head

If this is gonna Run, round, in my head I might as well be dreaming Run, round, in my head I might as well be dreaming

Run, round, in my head (Into the picture) I might as well be dreaming (With me) Run, round, in my head

(I wish you out of the wood) If this is gonna Run, round, in my head (Into the picture) I might as well be dreaming (With me) Run, round, in my head

The Dawn Will Come - Dragon Age Inquisition Soundtrack

Shadows fall And hope has fled. Steel your heart The dawn will come.

​The night is long And the path is dark Look to the sky For one day soon The dawn will come.

The shepard's lost And his home is far Keep to the stars The dawn will come.

The night is long And the path is dark Look to the sky For one day soon The dawn will come.

Bare your blade And raise it high Stand your ground The dawn will come.

The night is long And the path is dark Look to the sky For one day soon The dawn will come.

Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes

I'm gonna fight 'em off A seven nation army couldn't hold me back They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back And I'm talkin' to myself at night Because I can't forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette

And the message comin' from my eyes says, "Leave it alone."

Don't wanna hear about it Every single one's got a story to tell Everyone knows about it From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell And if I catch it comin' back my way I'm gonna serve it to you And that ain't what you want to hear But that's what I'll do

And the feeling coming from my bones says, "Find a home."

I'm going to Wichita Far from this opera for evermore I'm gonna work the straw Make the sweat drip out of every pore And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding Right before the lord All the words are gonna bleed from me And I will think no more

And the stains comin' from my blood tell me, "Go back home."

The Mummer's Dance - Loreena McKennitt


When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair

When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year

The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone

"A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord's hand"

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay
