Hard silicon flying out of town,
Hits the wild barred owl,
It's Fall,
It's falling like a leaf,
Who do the black crows think they are,
To be cawing at this tragedy?
Do they laugh?
Do they cry?
With so much black magic,
It's hard not to go blind.
I follow up the platte clove hill,
The mountains are so big and still,
It's Fall,
I'm falling like a leaf,
Into the cold platte kill creek,
You can almost feel it in the air,
Death is everywhere.
Do I laugh?
Do I cry?
When so much black magick,
Can force you to go blind.
Falling like the leaves,
That wild barred owl,
Hits the cold black street while Fall wind howl,
Only to be picked up and dismantled,
By the Indian woman-man,
Who brings its wings to me,
Then he/they up and flew away.
I promise to save your wild barred wings,
I'll resurrect them a place to sing,
Behind my ear,
So that I may always hear them.
Walk the platte clove,
With your eyes closed,
Don't you fear the night!
The black magick,
Can consume you,
Even in the light!

This is a new version of Amanda's original "Theatre is Evil" album, exclusively showcasing her impressive piano skills as well as her vocal prowess in a single instrument, one woman show that blows the audience away with its raw power and stripped down interpretation of these now classic songs. So fresh, so welcome. So AFP of Amanda. Delenn
So, here's my thing about this amazing thing. I've listened to every single thing of Amanda's that I could since 2008. So when I say I failed with this album, you'll understand how big that is. When this came out, I thought I'd get around to it later because I knew a bunch of the tracks on it already. I never got around to it. Now, I've heard it, and I'm broken. In the best way. I lost a dear friend this year, and I'm never going to get over it, but this album helps so much. Thank you, Amanda. Delenn
