The Rise Of Avalon (Kevin Smith)

from Fairy Tales for Homeless Faeries by Paul Shapera

lyrics

All i ever longed for was a world where i belonged
and something with a smile like your to share it
Though once i could have simply sat and watched the world burn
when we first met i knew that i could bear it

For 1,000 years the changelings in your cradles have been placed
For 1,000 years they do the tasks all gave them
For 1,000 years they carve their sigils in the city's bones
and for 1,000 years the Fae watch and are waiting

And you knew i was different, never fit right in the world
and i knew you were wistful and elated
Together then we spun and wove a story of our own
and for awhile we lived in adoration

For 1,000 years your infants have been softly whisked away
and babes like me are put there as replacements
and onto me it falls the task to carve the very last
sigil that will cause this city's desolation

All i ever longed for was a world where i belonged
and something with a smile like yours to share it
Together we were fairy tales and poetry and wine
until you slept with him and i can just not bear it

I would have saved the world for you, i would have let it go
I would have kept your heart so sweet protected
but now i wonder whether i should carve the final mark
and all that we have loved, it will be ended

All i ever longed for was a world where i belonged
and something with a smile like yours to share it
and i can never not love you so deep with all my heart
but this love for you at last i cannot bear it...

.................

The fall of the great human city of Victoria was the saddest day in its residents' history.

As if some arcane button had been pressed, almost overnight it simply faded away and was replaced by a strange and perplexing place its denizens would refer to as Avalon.

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
