Brothers in Arms
Based on Brothers in Arms by the Dire Straits
This green and blue planet
Is a home now for me,
But my home is another
And always will be.
My race would enslave you,
Your cities and your farms,
But I'm proud to call you
My brothers in arms.

One Long Way
TTTO "One Big Sea" by Talis Kimberly. Spoilers for Doctor Who episode "Girl in the Fireplace".
He is gone and will not return.
Doesn't prevent me waiting for him.
Watched the fireplace as it burned:
Didn't so much as get glimpses of him.
And I still can see his face, hear his voice,
Je Regrette.
He hasn't changed a bit since the day that we first met.

Leslie Crosses
Based on the movie Bridge to Terabithia, and may contains spoilers to it.
Tune: Original.
Recording
You can run fast, but you know I run faster.
Race you someplace where you've never been?
A place where us, lowliest kids, reign as masters,
A place like you've never seen.
Though it's hidden, I see it, and from what you've told me
I think you are one of those who see it too;
This rope may look frayed but I know it'll hold me,
And this crossing is meant for two –
Terabithia's calling for you.

Soul of Filking
After Fantasy.Con, at which after I stopped singing someone said, "Great, now let's all cut our throats!" I resolved to start writing more cheerful stuff.
…I think I just failed.
TTTO "Hallelujah", the Rufus Wainwright version.
I think there is a basic tune
In ancient verse, in word and rune –
But you don't really care what I am thinking.
And whether that is right or wrong
I hear it within every song;
I think that it must be the soul of filking.

Feel No Pain
TTTO Great Big Sea's "When I'm Up I Can't Get Down":
I am the holder of the Godsblade,
I'm the instrument of war
For the battles you are waging – I am yours.

Daughter of Orion
Sometimes, being alone is a choice. I've always been conflicted about choosing to be more social. This is a song to the girl I might have been, which I occasionally wish I still was.
Tune: Original
She sits alone, she walks alone,
She'll never notice me and you.
At night, she'll wait for hours, still,
In grasses wet with dew.

Oracle
Tune: Billy Joel's "Piano Man".
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday.
The crowd comes in steady and slow.
There's an old man sitting next to me,
Withered-muscles and eyes that still glow.

Midnight Crisis
Got the idea from a friend, who told me about a dream in which he heard a filk that had a basic idea very similar to this one.
Tune: Original.
Recording
I left the Faery's wide domain
To roam the fields of mortal planes,
Near stumbled on the body of a fair man sleeping.
He opened up his eyes – so blue
My heart was cleanly split in two.
His skin was fairest white. I knew I'll soon be weeping.

Workaholic's Lament
Tune: Cynthia McQuilin's "The Mermaid's Lament"
Alone in my office, I'm watching my screen.
The cold, empty darkness awaits me outside,
And I write my frustration where it goes unseen,
For none reads the documents I stay to write.
Many offers I've had to go out on a date
But I've turned them all down and I stayed here late.
