A Book of Tongues: THUD

902 words added. I think this thing is finally shaking awake--though, grantedly, I've said that before. But as long as I'm moving forward, I'm happy.

When Monsters Love Monsters

Some time back, I told sovay that my primary song for "The Emperor's Old Bones"—the ultimate Tim/Ellis OTP ship song, so's to speak—was Single Gun Theory's "Motherland", off their album Flow, River of my Soul. So...here it is, for them that wants it (http://www.box.net/shared/elmn28krc5).

The lyrics—

A long long time ago, I
picked flowers and sang on a hillside far away
I'm still singing
A long long time ago, I
felt love for the first time
it's still with me now
Through the years, through the years
Carried pain and loss with my love
Through the years, through the years
I carried the pain and loss with my love
A long long time ago, you and I swam
in the river of our souls
united
A long long time ago, you and I
kissed goodbye the love of our lives
it's still with me now
Through the years, through the years
Carried pain and loss with my love
Through the years, through the years
I carried the pain and loss with my love
Take a piece of beauty
and multiply it
(like fishes)
take some pain
and overwhelm it till it dies
ride a restless soul to peace and sanctuary
and multiply the love
I multiply my love
Through the years...

Is Tim fooling himself here? Oh, most definitely—particularly so if/when he includes her potential "feelings" in the mix, because I'm almost sure she doesn't really have any. And yet.
