Last piece

[wytchcroft]

and there's sunlight
gold upon the ruined brick

this was once a castle
but the king took sick 

singing hurry up my horses
hurry up the men
half way round the world we go
and back again.

excellent conclusion to the triplet. last verse was my favorite. sounded like it was an established nursery rhyme that had already stood the test of time. :)))

thanks a lot!
