She was talking before I knew it, and as she mused She said, "I want to purchase you, Mat, You know I want to purchase you." And our Mat wants the girl with the silver spoon, Lucky boy loves Daughter of the Nine Moons, "How much for this, Mat?" "It's not for sale, Death is the price to pay. For a spear that is too much to pay." thought she looked ten just the other day, she lacks the curves of my usual babe. Who are you talking to?" I said, "A damane, I was giving her food." She said, "That's OK." And she walked away and she smiled and she said "You know I think I do like you, Mat, You know I think I do like you." And our Mat wants the girl with the silver spoon, Lucky boy loves Daughter of the Nine Moons, "What's with Tylin, Mat?" "I'm not her toy, I can be your lover boy. You know I'll be your lover boy." She came from Anath just the other day, She had these bracelets, I just had to say, "I'm wanting you, won't you sit for a while?" She shook her head and said with a smile, "What I'm feeling like, Mat, is to hurry and use these, Bring this Dragon fellow to his knees" And our Mat wants the girl with the silver spoon, Lucky boy loves Daughter of the Nine Moons, "Where you going now, Mat?" "I don't know where, But we're getting outta here. You know we'll have a good time then." She fought back hard and tried to run away, I tied her up and heard someone say. "What are you doing, you outta your mind?" I said, "I'd love to chat, but I don't have the time. You see, she's being a hassle and it's past time we flew." "But she's the Daughter of the Nine Moons, Mat. She's the Daughter of the Nine Moons." And as I Picked up Tuon it occurred to me, Our love had been foreseen. Our love was prophecy. And our Mat wants the girl with the silver spoon, Lucky boy loves Daughter of the Nine Moons, "Where you going now, Mat?" "I don't know where, But we're getting outta here. You know we'll have a good time then." And our Mat wants the girl with the silver spoon, Lucky boy loves Daughter of the Nine Moons, "Where you going now, Mat?" "I don't know where, But we're getting outta here. You know we'll have a good time then." _____________________________________ Another... MORIDIN (Al'Black Sabbath) I am Moridin! Has he lost his mind? Can he see with eyes of fire? Can he talk at all? Can he burp a fire ball? Is he 'live or dead? In those dreams within my head? We'll just pass him there, Who is he trying to scare? He was filled with fear In the Mighty Stone of Tear When he crossed Al'Thor He became the Dragon's whore Nobody wants him; He just stares at the world, Planning his vengeance That he will soon unfurl Now the time is here For Moridin to spread fear, Vengeance from the grave Killing rodents with his flames Nobody wants him; Chosen shake their heads Nobody helps him He just wants his revenge Spreading fear and pain He could learn from Padan Fain And Shaidar Haran, Moridin lives again __________________________________ And another...
