...I have loved these words for a while, but with the investiture of emotion played out by the earlier stories, Bellau, Morrow, and the rest, it's inspiring of slack jawed wonderment.
Cait has her own horribly mangled version ('tend the flame in bonewood city, take the souls with grace and pity, the Seeker needs a-savin'...') which has legend lore in it for the Clan. But even the real version is in my head as a very 'Cait' song - it's old sounding and peculiar, hints at more than it tells and seems to have one foot in reality and one in the ghost lands.
I could teach you how to sing it in a somewhat fekked Southern accent if you're ever bored or drunk enough to try - well, not 'sing' as I really can't. But declaim it. Or something. Hm. Probably not the best idea I've had all day... =P
I'm at the oast this week until friday, quite possibly the weekend too - you are very welcome here anywhen this week, (oastian invitation hereby extended both by myself and my father). After that at last I am in london again and will happily meet up for galavanting and tale telling =) xxx
*laughs* yey - shiny. so is that awesome in patches, or low-grade-yet-more-consistent-awesome throughout? I vote for the former myself - I think some bits need a rewrite. (But that will have to wait until after the Holmes Hiatus story and the other M7 story are done =)

I got goosebumps, and everything.

I like Cait's version, and I'll sing either for you if you'd like, dearheart. Um... I am, however, a bit crap at it. Too american, and all that...
