This is a live recording of Storm of Vengeance performed by Mary Crowell at CONFLUENCE 2015 on Mary's concert.
This song has not been recorded to an album and has been publicly performed only one other time (Dupletime in England in 2012 if you were curious)
It isn't from any particular fandom, but rather tells a story contained in itself. I'm a fan of villainous dramatic monologues.
lyrics
Storm of Vengeance
Copyright 2009 by Mary Crowell
It’s summer time, and the nights are wet.
You know that I do not forget
The promise made to me
By the apple tree.
Pay up, pay up, your debt!
It’s raining now – does his vision dim?
You know that I’m so close to him.
The creek is getting high,
And I never lie.
Get in, get in, and swim.
Chorus:
Woke the spirit up of vengeance
With your angry song,
Promised me a piece of you
With every wrong.
The creek is rising higher
Near the apple tree.
C’mon, c’mon, with me!
They laughed at you and your angry tears.
You bade me silence all their jeers.
Did every wicked task
That you thought to ask.
The time, the time, it nears.
You’re calling me by the Corvo Creek.
You shout three times – it’s me you seek.
You’re begging now in rhyme
For a little time,
Your voice, your voice, it’s weak.
Chorus
Was winter time when you caught his eyes.
He fights me now – your soul to prize.
Your struggles are in vain
‘Gainst the wind and rain
Now choose, so, choose, who dies!
Last summer time you called on me,
Was raining then – you could not see
That trouble always finds
You when your anger blinds.
Pay up, pay up, my fee!
Chorus X2
C’mon, c’mon, with me!
C’mon, c’mon, with me!

The lyrics are brilliant and vocal arrangements irresistible. The vocal counterpoint in “Last Spaceship,” “Common Ground,” and “Quetico” are particular favorites of mine. Mary Crowell
Songs of mythology, magpies, and Mal performed by a duo who have truly mastered their instruments--guitar and voice. This album is superb. Mary Crowell
