Title: Sing of the Gathering To Me
Writer: Aislynn Crowdaughter <Aislynn.Crowdaughter@gmx.net>
Rating: None. This is Gen, unless you rate for Heavy Metal
Type: Poem/ Filk
Summary: A Song of the Game and the Gathering, sung to the melody
of "This Corrosion" by the Sisters of Mercy (1993).
The song should be performed in the way of the original,
with a lead voice and background chorus.
Disclaimer: I do not own Highlander,
the Concept of Immortality,
the Gathering and the Game,
they belong to Panzer/ Davies.
"This Corossion" by Andrew Eldritch
belongs to him, the "Sisters of Mercy",
and Warner Music UK Ltd. Both are used
here without permission
and just for fun. I don't make money
with this and will give them
back when I'm finished!
Okay, people, basically this is
what will happen if you listen
to your favorite Sisters Of Mercy CD
once to often while dreaming about Highlander....

Sing the Gathering To Me
<Lead>
<Chorus>
Give me that sword, battle starts soon
There's someone whom I missed
- Give me the sword!
My heart is cold, and inside my head
- Give me the sword!
All the screams of those I killed
And now it starts again!
- Give me the sword!
Forgive me, my friend,
And do you feel the call?
- Give me the sword!
I'm alone, with all this murder...
But still in the Game
- Give me the sword!
Say, my friend,
- Sing!
And do you too feel the call?
Sing!
Sing!
<refrain> <Lead and Chorus together>
Hey, now, hey, now, now, sing of the Gathering to me!
Hey, now, hey, now, now, sing of the Gathering to me!
Hey, now, hey, now, now, sing of the Gathering to me!
Hey, now, hey, now, now....
Sing!
Sing!
<repeat refrain>
<Lead>
Give me some sense, friend, oh, do you hear me?
Give me some sense, friend, oh, do you hear my call?
Sing, friend, of right and wrong
Give me something to hold on
Give me some sense, friend, oh, do you hear my call?
Sing!
Sing!
<refrain> <Lead and Chorus together>
Hey, now, hey, now, now, sing of the Gathering to me!
Hey, now, hey, now, now, sing of the Gathering to me!
Hey, now, hey, now, now, sing of the Gathering to me!
Hey, now, hey, now, now....
<repeat refrain>
On days like this
In times like these
I feel grief swell deep inside
All the dead I left behind
Living on and I'm so tired
Somebody send me release
Ongoing war, and the next battle calls
Clashing swords, heads that fall
We're caught in this deadly dance
Well, friend, what do you say?
Have you found some reasons for this on your way?
Can you rescue me?
Sing!
Sing!
<Lead and Chorus together>
Hey, now, hey, now, now, sing of the Gathering to me!
Hey, now, hey, now, now, sing of the Gathering to me!
Hey, now, hey, now, now, sing of the Gathering to me!
Hey, now, hey, now, now, there can be only one!
<repeat refrain> <Lead and Chorus>
<Lead while background chorus repeats refrain>
Until I win the prize and there is nobody left,
I will have no peace, I will find no rest,
I don't need no one to understand
Why the power feels cold
Within my hand
This prize
Power like God
Burns cold with the dead of all
I loved
Burns
Cold
Burn
There can be only One
- Sing of the gathering to me!
There can be only One
There can be only One
There can be only One
Burn
- The Gathering....
- The Gathering...
There can be only
One
