lyrics
Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Our fine ship is the Circe, she’s sailed the wide world round,
Her home port is at Durmstrang, for Hogwarts we were bound!
Bearing Krum our champion, revered in every land!
Karkaroff in his cabin, and Viktor was in command!
Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Viktor summoned the maelstrom, and down its depths we steered.
Though the waters engulfed us, in Hogwarts’ lake we appeared!
There victorious Viktor received his due acclaim,
When the Goblet of Fire produced his prominent name!
Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Autumn soon turned to winter, a lass turned Viktor’s head.
Over our ship the Circe, a flow of romance spread,
When a dueling disaster leaked potion in the lake,
Giant Squid surmounted our galleon by-y mistake.
Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Viktor was framed as the villain who wrecked the final task,
Murder, mayhem, and magic, but Moody soon was unmasked.
Though they soon would be parted, Krum’s sweetheart vowed to write.
Karkaroff like a coward, slipped softly into the night!
Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Though Dark Arts we have studied, our hearts are ever true!
Speaking truth is our power, the Dark Lord soon will be through.
Our home port’s still at Durmstrang, we sail the Circe on,
Seeking out ev’ry Dark Mark ‘til all his minions are gone.
Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
This is just one of Lena's ambitious crossovers of wizard rock and musical theatre, and it's gorgeous. There's an undercurrent of urgency throughout this whole album, underlining the fact that it all takes place within a short period of time. 'The Prince's Tale' is a fan favourite (due at least in part to Christian's gorgeous vocals), 'Hey Harry Potter' is utterly hilarious and 'Helena's Story' is a haunting portrait of a neglected character. Highly recommended! yourwizardrockresource

A terrifically woozy slab of psychedelic stoner rock, where big riffs grind against saxophones, omnichords, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 17, 2018
The Philadelphia group sharpen their hooks and internal dyanmics for a fun and non-dorky take on power pop anyone can get behind. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2024
