about

This song was inspired by Hookland's skeet (Bluesky-tweet-equivalent) about Battle Cove. It is also part of FAWM's modes challenge; this is in phrygian mode which is like minor with an extra flat (the second, or "mi" note of the scale is a half step lower than normal minor.)

lyrics

Walking out from Wintress Maiden
Past the dunes to Swancomb Head;
Rowan in your fist and pocket
Guards against the Drowned Dead.

In this lovely desolation,
Welcomes, warnings, interwove--
Have a care or come to grief while
Walking over Battle Cove.

On the cliffs the wind will whisper
False direction in your ear;
Locals have defaced the signs to
Turn away the ones they fear.

In this lovely desolation,
Welcomes, warnings, interwove--
Have a care or come to grief while
Walking over Battle Cove.

Carry iron, salt and silver,
Where the winds and waters churn;
With a kiss from one who loves you
You’ll walk safe and safe return.

In this lovely desolation,
Welcomes, warnings, interwove--
Have a care or come to grief while
Walking over Battle Cove.
