Toadstool Shadow - Song of the Golden Unicorn (Official Music Video)
In "Song of the Golden Unicorn," the gnome band is hiding in the bushes, playing their music to try to re-enchant the world. They have no money and are dressed in rags.
11 years after young Bunny had his visionary experience in the "Rainbow Nights" fairy tale opera, Bunny returns to the same visionary landscape. This time, full grown, he comes to document the magic, not just wander through it, lost and agog.
This tune is on Toadstool Shadow's just-released second album, "Folk Songs of the American Wood Elf," available for download everywhere.
Lyrics:
A thousand years away
, In a time unlike today
Before her mane turned white
, her gold tresses lit the night
Song of the golden unicorn
Gold as spring rays of sun,
gold the truth that’s owned by none
Gold her coat when she was born
, gold her heart ‘neath shimmering horn
Song of the golden unicorn
As night follows the day
, the olde scythe shall swing and slay
Where once she ran so free
, silent now the woods empty
Song of the golden unicorn
The first 15 seconds is a short prelude titled "Dream of the Golden Unicorn" with the subsequent electric song titled "Song of the Golden Unicorn."
