NYROND

Lyrics byZanTM

TTTO “Highland” by Blackmore’s Night (original here)

(Disclaimer: I do know the Nyronds aren't real and I'm not going anywhere.)

Late at night and I’m trying to get some sleep
While I’m stuck at the bottom of the heap
I decide real life is just not working for me
Everywhere people’s lives are going south
Just like me they’re all living hand to mouth
Hard times, nothing rhymes, it’s part of this new century

Now I finally have decided
I will leave it all behind
And discover something better
In the realms of my own mind
Find a place of independence and security
If you want me, that is where I’ll be...

I’ll be travelling, with the Nyrond,
And their flexible morality
Going round-trip on a homeship
That’s my way of life
Running long cons, with the Nyrond,
And their gift of immortality
When the ship goes, that’s all I need, all I need

With the Nyrond in the books I write
They use their powers to help the right
And they only ever con the people who deserve it
I’ve got the look, I’ve got the nose
I can learn how to run scenarios
And I feel I could deal with piloting a smallship
Here there’s nothing I can do but
Try to cope with being poor
Growing older, growing colder
Knowing that the end is sure
Lying wakeful every night, and fearful every day
Now I know I’ve got to get away...

I’ll be travelling, with the Nyrond,
And their flexible morality
Going round-trip on a homeship
That’s my way of life
Running long cons, with the Nyrond,
And their gift of immortality
When the ship goes, that’s all I need

I’ll be travelling, with the Nyrond, and free...

If I join them, it’s a promise
I will live for all eternity...

I’ll be travelling, with the Nyrond,
And their flexible morality
Going round-trip on a homeship
That’s my way of life
Running long cons, with the Nyrond,
And their gift of immortality
When the ship goes, that’s all I need

With the Nyrond
With the Nyrond
I’m free!
