lyrics

a wise one he who knows his friends; wiser still his enemies - noblesse oblige if you obey... come to court and you’ll get caught; strung up high for crimes untold
starved the cat and beat the hare... blind the wolfchild, laugh at his wife; all your sins forfeit your life; absolution is still more lies
it’s your nature; it’s your calling; red run river, night is falling; watch them run, watch them scatter; pay no mind for they don’t matter
secret gifts and secret gold; there’s always one who never stole; take advantage - it’s what she’s for, cunning reynaert, cunning man; all the rest are yours for sport
save yourself and pay off scores. take your pardon, run to rome; skinning wolf and bear for spite; the gentle hare will sate your lust
it’s your nature; it’s your calling; red run river, night is falling; watch them run, watch them scatter; pay no mind for they don’t matter
once again you are accused - apes and cats, and crows and cranes; trial by battle; trial by fire; shaven smooth and butter slick, blind with sand thrown sharp and quick;
cunning trickster now prevails... highly honoured, reynaert now - lucky those who make their own luck; all are vanquished evermore...

Excellent medieval folk, IGR, & those with ears to hear. I love the sense of mysticism and deep, introspective ponder this album conveys, & the honest down-to-earth folky lyrics. Simply wonderful yet soulfully rich. Highlights for me are tracks 2, 5, 6, & 12. IGR truly capture what I feel is an authentic sense of a medieval bard at a woodland rill pondering the mysteries of life. Highly recommended. 8.5+/10. Alrihkh
