Description

A storm gathers near, regardless of place,A tempest is toss’d in each brothers face,The birth of a land is the birth of the storm,The weather is cold and the war is too warm.Derry Down Down Hey Derry Down The front marches forth in both weather and war,Each battle is fought, though there isn’t a score,But more than their lives are lost in the fight,For after the war, they must battle the blightDerry Down Down Hey Derry Down The skells overtake each village they crossAll shells of themselves, their souls are now lost,They spread ‘cross the land like the armies up North,Devouring hope as the their blight goeth forth.Derry Down Down Hey Derry Down But other things spread, through the body and mindDiseases and Greed will both vanquish in kind,A fight for the wealthy is fought by the poor,And no soul is healthy when saddled with war.Derry Down Down Hey Derry Down Home is the reason all battles are fought,The horrors they wrought are not soon forgot,But a home built on bondage will never stand tall,And a land lost to Blight is certain to fall.Derry Down DownHey Derry Down Original Music and Arrangements by Jackie Presti with Lyrics by Ryan Knowles.CAST & CREWAloysius, Jupiter Nameless - Eric AustinAllela, Fiona Pratt, Gertrude Redd - Kate PiattiLillian Method, Carmela Kaine, Veronica Delmonaco - Hannah SchoonerThomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Arch Porter - Ryan KnowlesOther roles played by the cast.Original Music Arrangements - Jackie PrestiLyrics and Lead Vocals - Ryan KnowlesGuitar and Mandolin - Bob RoseChorus Singers - Robin Campbell, Jackie Presti, Lindsay RoseAudio Production and Sound Design - Alex SterlingAssistant Audio Engineer - Colin BrysonExecutive Producer - Nadine WelchWriter - Kevin LikelyProducer and Director - Justin HeymanSpecial thanks to Prof. Elizabeth Ellis-MarinoWrite us:[email protected]
