Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly.
Then, heigh-ho, this life is most jolly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not.
Sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly.
Then, heigh-ho, this life is most jolly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly.

All aboard the viking space train! A prog-rock-mass-murder-mystery in space and probably the best album from my former band, The Mechanisms. My top track: Thor Kofi Young

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
