An outside song. Music video. Lyrics
The imagery is vague and confusing enough that some people won’t get it without prompting. Maybe that’s ok.
An arrangement of this song from the Bayesian Choir, for SATB plus piano, is available below in pdf and Musescore format.
[Soprano,Alto]
Landsailor, landsailor sail on time, rain or shine I know you can.
Cloudraker, cloudraker share your finds, all your wonders at my demand.
[Bass]
Ah
[Soprano,Alto]
Lightbringer, ta mer of night, blossom of hours un leashed.
Make me a
lawbender, (Bass: Ah )
all equalized, saved from the chill and heat.
[Soprano,Alto,Tenor,Bass]
Your power flows through me transformed,
[Alto,Tenor,Bass]
Here's where I was born.
[Alto,Tenor,Bass]
Landsailor, deep winter strawberry, endless summer, ever spring.
Our vast preserve, aisle after aisle in reach, every commoner made a king
[Soprano,Alto,Tenor,Bass]
Earthbreaker, noble and prized, feed me beyond my means.
Hello worldmaker, never denied, build all my wildest dreams.
But there's a storm outside your door, I'm a child no more.
[Tenor]
Headless and faceless, tireless and seamless behind these walls,
this is my progress when you don't notice my lines at all.
[Tenor,Bass]
Split the world open,
delve ever deeper in my (Soprano: Ooh )
alchemic arts, (Alto: Ooh )
Crack the
[Bass]
ciphers to free up your (Soprano: Ooh ) (Tenor: ciphers your )
[Tenor,Bass]
mind, your life, your heart.
[Soprano,Alto,Tenor,Bass]
Mm, mm
[Tenor,Bass]
I'm your (Soprano,Alto: Oh, )
[Soprano,Alto,Tenor,Bass]
landsailor in the bed that we've made, may every nail be shown.
Great life bringer, the price that we pay, time that you made it known.
[Soprano,Alto]
I want to be your bride in (Tenor,Bass: Oh, be my bride in )
[Soprano,Alto,Tenor,Bass]
full,
[Soprano,Alto]
shield my eyes no more. Oh, I am (Tenor,Bass: shield your eyes no more. . )
[Soprano,Alto,Tenor,Bass]
altered now for good, shield these eyes no more.
