The Alterside

This website is named after a song of mine which appeared on my second album, The Acropolis.

About the Song

The song is about a man who is being haunted by an evil woman and is eventually sacrificed by her.   She torments him, but he loves her anyway.

Lyrics

Verse 1

You held me, my shoulder,

Your fingers they made no sound.

Like Grendel, you watched me.

Your eyelids, they made no sound.

Chorus

I’m the virgin at the Alterside,

with my hands laid back for the sacrifice.

You wanna lay me down in the sun

with the Sandman covering everyone.

Verse 2

I heard you, behind me.

Your footsteps, they made no sound.

I tremble, so lightly,

that my breath, it made no sound.

Chorus

I’m the virgin at the Alterside,

with my hands laid back for the sacrifice.

You wanna lay me down in the sun

with the Sandman covering everyone.
