Lyrics
I was made in darkest night
Of fairy tales and children's fright
I do not think you know what you behold
I was made of aching hurt
Of chalky ash and bloody dirt
I hope you do exactly as you're told
Siegfried and Saint George
Potter, Baggins, Beowulf
Were tempered in my forge
So I say to you and yours:
All caught fire in the ivory tower
In the marble arches
In the dust and darkness
And I have you on my mind
Once a mighty tree was grown
For you to know all that is known
I hope you hear exactly what I say
And by your sword a branch came down
And where the blood fell to the ground
It is my cradle and there I must stay
And should ever you return
Well I must confess my story to be true
You will be burned
And I hope that you have learned
All caught fire in the ivory tower
In the marble arches
In the dust and darkness
And all caught fire in the ivory tower
And I have you on my mind
You're on my mind
You're on my mind 
Приколы
I remember seeing this show at its first performance at the MassMoca many years ago. Up until this point in the show it was a silly little farce; then this song came out of nowhere and stunned the crowd. No one knew to clap because it was so shocking. We had to be prompted. It was otherworldly.
Ha! I was there too--I remember the exact same thing.
I was at that show too... I still get chills from this song.
I was there too! So, so glad I took a chance on making the drive out there for that weird looking show. I later bought the DVD and at one point rented a small movie theater to show it to friends for my birthday. I Will Still Play, and Bard are the most special to me personally yet I would easily agree that this is the most beautiful song in the show. So happy it came up in my feed today.
Just watched this 3 times in a row. What a voice! To all the copy right vultures out there, I hadn't heard of this tripod show until I saw this here. Now I'll buy the dvd. One sale made, not lost due to a free clip being available.
Love her face, love her voice, love her dress, love this song, love this DVD.
There's enough love for every aspect of this
I just keep revisiting this over and over again. Mesmerised.
I adore Elana's voice. Now I got goosebumps.
This is stunning. I'm in love.
Chills. Every. Damn. Time.
it took me a while to get into this show but by god i love this song. now i cant get enough of the whole thing.
So beautifully haunting. I love this song so much.
What an impeccable performance. Bravo.
My god! What a voice! Elana is simply amazing!!! 🥰
A very subtle thing I only just now noticed: At first the lyrics are "I have you on my mind." But in the final refrain when she looks at Gatesy, her soon-to-be love interest, it's "I have you/You're on my mind."
This song stunned the whole audience live. It was completely out of sync with the rest of tripods stuff and was more stunning because of it
Fantastic song, voice was stunning live
I just got the DVD, I keep listening to it and replaying this part 3 times in a row. Simply marvelous :3
HOLY GOD! That was good
Beautiful... just beautiful.
I love this.
No, but it's her first appearance as the character, and first time she sings. Absolutely epic.
I love this song!
Still awesome.
i have this album. I play this song continuesly. And also "I will still play". amazing songs ... this girls voice is to die for.
i agree the lyrics for this song will not be denied
Looking at the shadow behind Elana was very fitting to the song. Especially at 1:04. It looked better than the actual pose she was giving X3 Beautiful song.
you don't have a clue he is the master fabricator and yes I love him with all of my heart I don't care how I look or what any one thinks have a great day find some other couple to Mimic please geeeeez
Here in 2022
Such an amazing song and voice
Anyone have this whole dvd uploaded? I have been seaching for ages
velvet voice
Fking Awesome
I wish I could buy a Region 1 copy of this! Just had to settle for buying the mp3 downloads instead...
In 2020
does anyone else think elana is a babe or is it just me
@thatsphreshish I've looked on the JB Hi Fi website, and apparently it's for sale there. I'm gonna check my local.
It's her first solo song, but not her first appearance.
I believe you should be able to play it on a computer DVD. It's not quite the same though really. Someone has said since that it's regions free, I'm not sure though. It might be worth trying in any case. The entire show is wonderful.
where i can download the full show?
if you love Elana listen to her and Tripod sing attack of the wombat awesome classic song in an hour go gatesy and his tiny erection
@tdbearcub Totally, that guy scares me :/
@tdbearcub Buy a new dvd player and then it will assume the coding of the first few dvd's that are played by it. Iraqi made dvd's will really jack up a computer's dvd player that way.
What's Something Something's name?
Chris Mora lol
Just download the torrent... that's what I did
You mixed up "fairy tales" and "chalky ash" in the lyrics.
Who knows? Maybe. I don't particularly care either way.
Because it popped into my head and took less than 5 seconds, and they *might* see it. If you can do something simple to help out the next guy, always do it.
