Click For: The Death Of Balder A Mothers Lament - Lyrics

My dear Odin.
Our son’s dream came true, today. all things, will weep.
Oh dear Odin.

Most gentle, most loved, god of light.
My son, oh my son, I could not save you, my love.

My Balder is dead.

My dear Odin.
His fate was carved, long ago. Nine Worlds, all weep.
My Odin.

Who will ride to the land of the dead and plead for my son, my son. God of truth and summer light, is dead, dead!

And throughout the land and the sea, you can hear the voices cry, God of the summer light, Balder is dead.

My son, oh most loved, god of light.
My son, oh my son, I could not save you, my love.

My Balder is dead.

A collection of jazz rock and atmospheric symphonic compositions

After reading the book “Tesla – Inventor of the electrical age”. I decided to write a song (Moonlight On Knob Hill) based on the iconic 1899 photograph of Nikola Tesla sitting in front of his generator in his Colorado Springs Laboratory. From there it was very easy to keep writing material about the life of the inventor.
