The Tale of Tenuviell

I. Fairy

Ancient groves
wild remote
home to all fairies, elves, and gnomes
spirits evoke
a sacred oath
a temple to Earth the devas devote

Forest gone green
meandering stream
twinkling eyes that sparkle and gleam
slip into fairy upon a moonbeam
awaken within a dream in a dream

Deva of flight
Child of light
soft as the wind of a butterfly’s flight
glade of moonlight
where magick resides
devas are dancing into the night

Forests and ocean
always in motion
life an elixir a magick potion
fluid emotion
soul’s devotion
gazing into her eyes of ocean

A taste of the chalice of Merlin’s well
dreaming within where magick dwells
She of the Fairies and the Elves
this is the Tale of Tenuviell

Instrumental Reprise/Chorus

II. Sorceror

Parallel dimension
a world of tension
there lived a lonely demented magician
“I will make mine
a charming young sprite,
she’ll fill my cottage with sparkle and life!”

Pouring through spellbooks he reflects
“how do I open the fairy vortex?”
frown to a smile
he is pleased
“How to Capture a Fairy with Ease”

Muttering chanting incantation
timewave ripples electric sensation
tingle within
Merkabah spins
Wizard shouts, “I’ve done it I’m in!”

Nearby fairy
approaches to see
what the etheric commotion could be
her senses keen
a foreshadowing
Oh great mysterious destiny

Curiousor
she flitted closer
into the grasp of the sorceror
dazzling her
with magick mirror
he cast a spell that enshrouded her

Instrumental Reprise/Chorus

III. Capture & Betrayal

Returning through his entry portal
leaving behind lamenting immortals
this the work of his meddling toil
she took the form of a human mortal

Old man alone
soul to atone
speaking these words
both brazen & bold
a bit of your soul for me to hold
I must have your sphere
of precious gold

What choice had she
had to agree
beg of her captor a silent plea
“release me
I have to go free
I am the wild why can’t you see?!”

Insatiable need
greed to appease
sorcerer’s lust to eternally feed
demanding a deed
“before you are freed
to harness Earth goddesses’ energy”

Feeling obliged
heart resigned
she whispered the words and made sacred signs
his power was blind
of heartless design
losing a part of her soul behind

Instrumental Reprise/Chorus

IV. Liberation & Atonement

Dragon in rage
shatters her cage
flying her to his crystal cave
Earth betrayed
a price to pay
self-imposed penance for age upon age

Wolf to his throat
the Raven revokes
Tenuviell’s Soul her Heart of Gold
returns it to her to behold
“ My spirit’s atoned, I want to go home!”

Sorcerer’s plight
bereft of her light
Tenuviell holds him within her sight
forgiveness inside
binding untied
Magician ascends as an Angel of Light

Hey aleya eyhey ya
Way hey yo lo
Hey aleya eyhey ya
Way hey ya-ya
Ay aleya eyhey ya
Way hey oh-lo
Ay aleya ey hey way hey yie ya

Mystical isle of Avalon
returning Home where she belonged
welcomed by a thousand strong
the devas were dancing all night long!


Long instrumental freeform,
trills, laughter, song...
