Looking for Lyrics in All the Wrong Places

[batyatoon]

Google, that faithful friend of mine, has drawn a blank on both of these songs. I therefore cry out to my flist for assistance. Does anyone have the lyrics to either of the following songs?

"Forty Thousand In Gehenna," sung by Kathy Mar - I'm not sure if she wrote the lyrics or not. Googlesearch turns up references to a book of the same title, which now I think I'd quite like to read; does anyone know if the song appears in the book?

"(The) Dark Time" - Ben, I'm looking at you on this one, because I have an mp3 of what I'm fairly sure is you singing this, but I don't see it on your website. Not sure if that's the title; the opening line is "There once was a man condemned to die / Though he had committed no crime."

Sing out if you can help me, people!

I'd have to transcribe "40,000 in Gehenna" from the tape ("Finity's End", IIRC) so I can't do that 'til tonight.

Googling for those bits of lyrics I remember doesn't produce any results.

And a little MORE research gets me this page (http://www.geocities.com/justin_wiccan_tweb/filk/finitys-end.html), which says that the song is a Lackey/Fish

ARGH! The tape's not with the others!!!!

Where is it?

*pet pet* Don't fash thyself. I've got a recording, I can probably puzzle out the lyrics from it on my own.

Was just hoping for an authentic copy for help with the words I can't quite make out.

THAT I can probably help with. Email me what you have?

Ask sovay. Comment at random in her journal, is the best way. She has an incredible surplus of such knowledge.

Oh, and give sdelmonte a birthday hug for me :)

I dropped "The Dark Time" from my repertoire (and from the website) a while ago because it needs work, but I can email you the lyrics if you like.

I'd appreciate it.

...because I'm planning to filk it. Er. *hopeful smile*

Is definitely not in the book, though I love the book. Now I have to go find the tape! Aaaaah!
