Another First Son

As the first son of another first son
I'm bound by an oath not to be the last one
But I broke it
Pushed down the river our backs to the sea
They had to decide what to do about me
But I don't care
I lie awake in brambles and weeds
And I hear the sound of the hooves of their steeds
Til they're gone
I pushed a path past a prophet in robes
He told me he read in his oracle bones
Of my fortune
I'd crack the stones of another man's cairn
An omen the ancients had said would ring out
Like a warning
I lie awake in brambles and weeds
And I hear the sound of the hooves of their steeds
Til they're gone

So now let's throw a party for Saint George's Day
It's after the harvest now we don't owe corvée
Only once chance for freedom from the Lords and Magnates
So let's have a party now, to Saint George we pray
They don't treat us right we don't have to stay
Only one day a year to do what we may
So let's have a party on Saint George's Day
C'mon Pa, put down the scythe
Things'll never be the same
C'mon Ma, gather the kids
Gotta eat 'fore it rains
C'mon brother, put down your tools
Can't afford to be late
C'mon sister, pull on your shoes
No time to complain
So now let's throw a party for Saint George's Day
It's after the harvest now we don't owe corvée
Only once chance for freedom from the Lords and Magnates
So let's have a party now, to Saint George we pray
They don't treat us right we don't have to stay
Only one day a year to do what we may
So let's have a party on Saint George's Day
C'mon Pa, put down the scythe
Though I know you hate change
C'mon Ma, gather the kids
Gotta leave this estate
C'mon brother, put down your tools
If you want a fair wage
C'mon sister, pull on your shoes
No time to be tame
So now let's throw a party for Saint George's Day
It's after the harvest now we don't owe corvée
Only once chance for freedom from the Lords and Magnates
So let's have a party now, to Saint George we pray...

Dutch Courage St. Louis, Missouri
RIP: 2003-2022 Songwriter Andy Puechner grew up obsessed with music: playing his father’s rock albums in the family's rumpus-
room, and making a racket playing bass in his High School punk bands. His talent for melody convinced him to perform solo as Dutch Courage, garnering notice from outlets like the Riverfront Times & Shepherd Express.
He continues to write and record music in his STL home.

Two Torches, at a Place Where Three Roads Meet
by Old Earth
Todd is a longtime friend, and a hell of a songwriter (not to mention visual artist, guitarist, and bon-vivant). His songs have a great dreamy atmosphere.
