Ill-met by moonlight
Lyrics: Juliane Honisch / Music: © 1998 Katy Droege
I met him by moonlight
the stars smiling down
and he danced on the bluebells
without touching the ground.
His eyes pierced my heart,
as we danced to the sound of the bluebells
ringing,
singing,
clinging to his grace.
He reached out his hand
and his touch lit my soul
and we danced on the bluebells
and I gave him my all.
His cool lips soothed my skin
while I flamed 'tween the coolness of bluebells
Learning
Yearning
Burning in love.
And the silver night played
us a song so sublime
As we danced on the bluebells
without feeling the time.
He melted into the dawn,
vanished like the moon in bright sunshine
greying
feying
not staying with me.
I could not bind him
I cannot find him
I can’t go back to the world
that has aged and decayed.
Fey lover, why?
You left me withered and old and alone
to atone
and to moan on my own.
Love me, fey lover,
fey lover, fey.
Take me, fey lover,
fey lover, stay.
Fey lover, don't go away ...

A Thousand Ships
Lyrics: Juliane Honisch, Music: Katy Droege
From the mirror looking back at me
is the face that launched a thousand ships
and the smile that in the glass I see
trembles nervously upon those lips.
And unlike my mirror image I
can hear sounds of dusky darkness fall.
Perhaps tonight will be the night I die
fenced in by those mighty Trojan walls.
Choices were for others, not for me.
I was never asked my wish or will.
So an old man's wife I came to be
Golden toy to him, but faithful still,
till an honoured guest did touch my soul
taught me smiles that duly reached my eyes.
But my sweet smiles were not all he stole
For his love was reckless and not wise.
And again of me no one did ask
Whether I would want to start a war,
whether I'd fulfil my fate-set task,
whether I did truly wish for more.
Now the master of my fate is young.
He has brought me to the walls of Troy.
When the deeds of war are fin'lly sung
Who will call him selfish, lovesick boy?
Battle drums I hear within my mind
Fire arrows pierce me to the core.
Everyone is - like Cassandra - blind,
hatred lives on both sides of the door.
And the image in my mirror cries
Red-hot tears run down to wrinkling lips.
I've grown old while everybody dies
For the face that launched a thousand ships.
