> Once Upon the Ivory - (C) 1997 Obsidian Dream
> Music and lyrics by Brandon Bannerman/Catspaw

> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>
> 1. Once 2. Ashes
> Upon the ivory Trying to be flames
> There came a melody And playing sinful games
> Of those who fell in love To steal what was lost
> And dreams worth dreaming of No matter what the cost
> With new life in sight Advice turns to lies
> They entered the night For doubts to arise
> Of sorrow's twilight And slowly conquer
>
>
> 2. Say 3. Run
> The words that aren't enough The easy thing to do
> I'm sorry--ain't it tough? And so befitting you
> To swallow all your pride The coward's way to cope
> Admit the times you've lied It's just a gallows rope
> When push comes to shove No more will I flee
> You sell out your love The darkness in me
> To pay the piper I shout defiance
>
>
> 5. Once
> Upon the ivory
> A child formed a key
> Unlocking what's been done
> The two become as one
> It's never too late
> To alter your fate
> And walk in sunlight
>

> Yes, the progression is repetitive. No, I don't particularly care much. :)
> This song is meant to be put to lyrics and should be taken as such.
>
> The entire melody to Once Upon the Ivory was written in the
> delivery room at Valley Medical Center while I was waiting for
> my son to come out and take his first breath. The inspirations
> are many... at the time, and through much of the subsequent time,
> my relationship was in a shambles and teetering on the edge of
> oblivion. Now... well, perhaps if you cannot draw inference from
> the lyrics, you may never understand. But for those who do... this
> song is for all of you who have labored to create something
> special and unique, and for once in your life found something
> that, no matter what, you will fight for, live for, change for,
> and suffer for... and found it to be worth every moment.

> Sample credits - As usual, I'm not even going to try for a precise count.
> Sample 3 is mine originally, off a fairly crappy keyboard that
> nonetheless had the right sound for filling out this song. The
> rest are a conglomeration--mostly Gravis patches and old Amiga
> samples, but a handful of more modern samples from such sources
> as Necros, Skaven, Zapper, et cetera. To anyone I forgot, if you
> see a sample of yours in there, consider yourself well-appreciated
> for what you contributed to this song.
>
> Greets go out to, in no particular order: Dude, Dream Scythe, Big Skaven
> and little Skaven :), Pulse, Mickrip, Mikmak, Luvk, Vegas, Fass,
> and everyone who has ever loved unconditionally.
