Jack Be Nimble

• Artist: Absque Iter
• Description: Ths is my own darker itteration to the old English nursery rhyme of the same name. Rather than being about a boy jumping over a candle, this is about a soldier striving to survive in war.

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack light up your oil wick
Ride the light fight the dark
On and by the forest bark
Keep it secret, keep it lit
Lest thou fall in the darkness pit
Raise your courage, raise your sword
Back the'vading orcish horde
Watch the ground, watch the skies
Doomed be you to see them die
Fall to haven, fall as one
Hark the blessed morning sun
Be we damned, let it soar
Be the nighttime silence tore
Pray the stars, pray the moon
Pray the shining sphere come soon
Cannot run, cannot hide
Feel the slipping conscious slide
Rest your eyes, rest your head
Rest young Jack, you'll soon be dead...
