This is a pop song from the world of the Institute. Despite the lyrics, it's in major and sung to a happy, upbeat tune. (To be clear, this is a parody of the popular love ballads. It's not all this morbid; this is just a wonky example. Happy Halloween!) Gyahd, this is awful. Go read https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/593027602/ instead. It's a sorceress about to bind her soul to a book ranting about it in iambic pentameter and it's actually kind of good. ----- Dear heart, my love, you've promised me, Don't leave me stranded by this wine-dark sea I cannot believe of you these wro-o-ongs When we were children I sang ya songs I cry, my love, don't abandon me Didn't I say enough, "I love thee" Thy crimson tears fall bloody and true As I bind you to me anew Now my dear shall never we part I was bound to you right from the start As under the ground my father moulders The weight of the world falls upon our shoulders And swiftly, clearly takes its toll And now I fear you've sold your soul Our looks have faded but not our love Same hands hidden inside black gloves I cry, my love, don't abandon me Didn't I say enough, "I love thee" Thy crimson tears fall bloody and true As I bind thou to me anew Now, my dear, shall never we part I was bound to thee right from the start But where, dear heart, is my self-control In filling full my destined role? Taking the strain has taken its dues Now I fear you only tighten the screws I don't want you to hurt, I don't want you to leave You cannot desert, you cannot deceive I cry, my love, don't abandon me Didn't I say enough, "I love thee" Thy crimson tears fall bloody and true As I bind thee to me anew Now, my dear, shall never we part I was bound to thee right from the start I cry, my love, don't abandon me Didn't I say enough, "I love thee" Our crimson tears fall bloody and true As I bind thee to me anew Now my dear shall never we part I was bound to thee right from the start
