So I got access to my good mic way sooner than I thought I would. Whoops. So in light of that, I’ve re-recorded “Waltz for Lecter,” the track I posted earlier inspired by NBC’s Hannibal - only this one is a LOT more improved in quality, so I suggest you listen to this one instead. A download link will be provided shortly too. :) Enjoy!! xx
WALTZ FOR LECTER (CLEAN VERSION, inspired by “Hannibal”)
please come in.
i won’t bite,
simply whet my appetite
with whatever foods you may bring
from the dark winter garden of night.
what’s that smell?
is it fever?
spreading deeper? butter-hot, red as the
flame-drips that bred the black
sin in the hearts of believers.
you’ll find my crown on the head of a creature
and my name on the lips of the dead
i am speaking of dread and hunger
do you know hunger?
precisely.
it needs to be fed.
please begin.
i won’t interrupt.
drink wine from my cup and eat from my table.
perhaps you are able
to stomach what once was corrupt.
it has a taste:
misbehavior.
no saviors here, just fare to be swallowed,
bones to be hollowed;
for rudeness yields exquisite flavors.
you’ll find my crown on the head of a creature
and my name on the lips of the dead
i am speaking of dread and hunger
do you know hunger?
precisely.
it needs to be fed.
(bridge, variation on the ‘hannibal’ theme)
you’ll find my crown on the head of a creature
and my name on the lips of the dead
i am speaking of dread and hunger
do you know hunger?
precisely.
it needs to be fed.
So this is the first completely original piece I’ve ever put on Tumblr and that’s a bit nerve-wracking but regardless, this is a song inspired by the NBC series Hannibal, lyrics and melody by me. I really hope you enjoy it! xx
THE RAVENSTAG (inspired by “Hannibal”)
blue as night, the ravenstag was flying
as you plucked the hyde, the beast stood crying
was it ever not enough to torment enough, cried out the blood in the veins
of the ravenstag who told me your name
i’ve started dreaming the most peculiar pictures
the blacks and whites and colors are richer
did you feel it kind enough, yes kind enough to plant the seed in my brain
of the ravenstag whispering your name
vulgar fruit, it gleams like vulgar diamonds
a picture of my own designing
wish they’d said beware the signs, the meats and wines of the velvet joy and the pain
of the ravenstag when he calls my name
(bridge, bach aria medley)
come into my parlor says the spider
close my eyes, the space between heartbeats grows wider
maybe i’m not brave enough or sane enough to steady the knife of the gaze
of the ravenstag as it whispers my name
morning’s come and the ravenstag’s behind me
i’m a crimson stain and no wind can dry me
is an enemy enough to keep the love of a monster that swallows and maims
the same ravenstag who knows my name?
New video! I directed this music video for Tom Milsom’s track ‘Pipes’, from the upcoming album Organs. It was produced in just one week, from concept to finished product, and I’m very proud of it.
If you enjoy it, please reblog it!
