Up the backless staircase,
To the dark ahead-
This is the loft of my place,
With memories long dead-
Ah, but yesterday I heard it,
With its haunting mournful cry-
I don't know how to word it,
But I'll look it in the eye!
SOMETHING'S UP IN THE LOFT!
BETTER SHAKE IT DOWN!
COBWEB TRIM ON A CORSETED GOWN!
MIRRORS REFLECTING AN ALIEN FACE!
DAGGERS DISSECTING AND LEAVING NO TRACE!
SOMETHING'S UP IN THE LOFT!
A brown and binded ledger,
With a spider squished inside-
I trimmed with the edger,
But the stain I couldn't hide-
I glanced upon its pages,
My heart had filled with dread-
"Thou art doomed throughout the ages!"
Was all the damned words said!
Shadows dancing on the wall!
Footsteps sounding down the hall!
The candle is short but the flame burns tall!
Something's up in the loft!
I dusted off the steamer trunk,
I broke the frozen latch-
I opened to some slimy gunk,
With an egg about to hatch!
The room filled with a thin glow,
The egg began to sway-
So I threw it out the window,
And watched it fly away!
There's no game in the mind
When the players are blind!
Something's up in the loft!

Alexander James Adams's Balance of Nature is a wonderful album. The songs are wonderful, musically and lyrically, and He of the Sidhe is an incredible example of it. Nearly all the songs are about transitions of some sort, or about moving forward, and they are all worth listening to.
Thanks for putting out such a wonderful album. Kamani

Alexander James Adams is one of my all time favorite musicians; his music has seen me through both dark times and fair. His musicianship is excellent, a master Bard, songwriter, and fiddler.
Cannot recommend his work enough; his music is exceptional! gaycelt

This is exactly the album that I need right now. Especially Warlock's Oath and Fang into Vein. Of course, the entire album is glorious spooky goodness. I'm in love. <3 Sai Chi

Natalie Mering's latest is woozy, hallucinatory folk that swirls and swoons, working with shadow and light, hope and loss. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 10, 2016
