LILT: Rammlied 1.4

After consulting with Alea and mulling over the idea of 'pulling a wicked face for a wicked occasion'* I've changed the 'good face' line to a 'Ramm-face' line. The good face idea didn't seem to quite fit, and the alternative interpretation, which is to 'not grin and bear it' just didn't play for me at all.

* In proper English wicked means 'evil' or 'bad', but colloquial usage has it meaning 'great', 'fantastic', or 'wonderful'. The phrase 'pull a wicked face for a wicked occasion' uses both proper and slang meanings, respectively. Unfortunately it didn't fit the line, rhythmically, so Ramm-face was born.

We honour those who keep the faith
Those who will hold strong and can wait
Well, your wait is now at an end
Please lend your ears now to the legend

Ramm! Stein!

Many lead, more come in tow
From heart and soul, hand in hand
Onward, forward, be on the go
Sense and form you understand
If your joy leads to heartache
If no stars shine from the dark
If you're lonely and alone
We have returned, so tune in...

Ramm! Stein!

Many lead, more come in tow
So get your wicked Ramm-face on
Devouring and being devoured
We take a gram and give a tonne
If you do not know the drill
What is right is what's right still
If you're lonely and alone
We have returned, so tune in...

Ramm! Stein!

One way
One zeal
One intent
Ramm! Stein!
One direction
One heart
Of flesh and blood

We honour those who keep the faith
Those who will hold strong and can wait
Well, your wait is now at an end
Please lend your ears now to the legend

Ramm! Stein!

At one point Alea and I were discussing the idea of there being a crazy-bastard Till-face in there, because there's something very special about the man when he pulls one. Lately a few have been floating about but my favourite is the craziest of all ➜
