about

A capella version. The darkly alluring imagery in Lyke Wake Dirge describes the possible twists and turns of the soul's journey after death. Do good to others and you need not fear the whinnies and the fiery flames.

lyrics

This ae nighte, this ae nighte
Every nighte and alle
Fire and fleet and candle-lighte
And Christe receive thy saule
When thou from hence away art past
Every nighte and alle
To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last;
And Christe receive thy saule
If ever thou gavest hosen and shoon
Every nighte and alle
Sit thee down and put them on;
And Christe receive thy saule
If hosen and shoon thou ne'er gav'st nane
Every nighte and alle
The whinnes sall prick thee to the bare bane;
And Christe receive thy saule
From Whinny-muir when thou may'st pass
Every nighte and alle
To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last;
And Christe receive thy saule
From Brig o' Dread when thou may'st pass
Every nighte and alle
To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last;
And Christe receive thy saule
If ever thou gavest meat or drink
Every nighte and alle
The fire sall never make thee shrink;
And Christe receive thy saule
If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st nane
Every nighte and alle
The fire will burn thee to the bare bane;
And Christe receive thy saule
This ae nighte, this ae nighte
Every nighte and alle
Fire and fleet and candle-lighte
And Christe receive thy saule
