Song Lyrics (Snow in Summer, A Hardworking Hand, and more)

[Hawky]

Snow in Summer (main theme song)

"A summer's day in Skara Brae became a wint'ry night.
Foes from below, blood on the snow,
Bright crimson on white.

A mad man's story of ancient glory brought death from far away,
For eldritch power did Mangar scour
The depths of Skara Brae.

Snow in summer, ice in my heart
Death's cold fingers tear us apart
Snow in summer, ice in my heart
Death's cold fingers tear us apart

'Gainst Mangar's horde we took up sword, and fought from dawn to dawn
Though we did win too many kin
Gave life to see them gone.

To Mangar's lair we took the snare, its hooks did end his reign.
Now there it lies if e'er he rise
To bring him low again.

Snow in summer, ice in my heart
Death's cold fingers tear us apart
Snow in summer, ice in my heart
Death's cold fingers tear us apart"

I find it a very simple monotonous song and a bit of a dirge imo, its ok to listen to for 2 minutes but when i am doing something in the inventory or some other menu having that playing in the background drives me nuts. All the songs i have heard so far are monotone and repetative, early music was very simple.

[Hawky]

It has that effect on some, yeah. Guess I'll get tired of it in time too.

Thanks for posting the lyrics. I enjoy the song, though you hear it quite a bit. I often find myself singing parts of it around the house. Now I can sing the whole thing!

A Hardworking Hand

The hole in the plaster will let in the north wind.
The gap in the thatch will let in the rain.
The tear in my cloak will let in the shivers.
The break in my heart will let in the pain.

So patch up the walls my sons and my daughters,
And layer the straw my neighbors and friends.
Fetch needle and thread to reweave the pattern.
We're always in need of a hardworking hand.

The break in the fence will let in the foxes.
The fray of the rope will let slip the bear.
The flaw in the chain will let drop the draw bridge.
The crack in my courage will set free despair.

So mend all your fences my sons and my daughters,
And keep tight the rope my neighbors and friends.
For the world and its folk will always be fraying,
And always in need of a hardworking hand.

The hole in the wall will let in the north wind.
The gap in the thatch will let in the rain.
When the weave comes unraveled there's no use in praying.
We must sing as we're fixing and mend it again.

So sing me a song my sons and my daughters,
Sing me a song as we work the cold land.
For the world and its folk will always be fraying
And always in need of a hardworking hand.

I am one of those, who are not confident in their hearing of speaken foreign word so text is good save.
