Subject: RE: The Boar and the Fox
My cookie was gone when I posted the words, which is why my name wasn't in the "from" line. Upon rehearing the song, I agree with "bride to you" for "brighton blue" but I'm pretty sure it's "weal or woe" not "will". Weal is the opposite of woe, it means wealth, wellbeing, etc. As for "reamed/wreathed/reaved" it's difficult to tell, but I seem to hear an "M" at the end of the word. However, the dictionary definition of "reave"--to rob, plunder, steal--makes the most sense so let's go with that. As for "live" or "dare" ("to challenge me"), I could go with either one.

The more I listen to this song, the more I like it. The instrumental backing is really cool.
