The songs and verses from 'The Grasp of Nighttide' Which is your favourite?

It must've not gone unnoticed that there are quite a few of them in my book.

1.The first one appearing at the end of the prologue

It started out as a mystery killing 

After every day came the dark 

People in isolation walked the deserted streets 

Then the demon left its mark. 

No one knew which night it would come 

Neither did they know how it did what was done, 

All they knew was to be aware 

That a new era of darkness had begun


2.Then the next, part of the song Alice recalls which is completed towards the end of the book. From the start of chapter 1

You were, you are, you shall always be 

My love, for eternity 

Moments with you I cherish the most…… 

I can’t imagine myself without you 

On my own, I can’t possibly do 

We’ll stay together like the sea and coast…

3.Stephanie's cute poem for her little cousin sisters

My good little angels, my two shiny eyes, my dear sisters, smart and wise... Keep out of trouble, please be nice, come and give me a hug, I can’t say good-byes.

4.The song Alice sings in Chapter 7

Wind take my words along 

Deliver to him in a song 

To my love... One and only love… 

You know my love is true 

I know you love me too 

Wherever you are, wherever you are 

Do take me away with you. 

Under the sea 

On the land 

Over the hills 

In the sand 

I want to stay wherever there is you, wherever

Do take me away with you. 

A quake to come 

A flood is near 

When I hold your hand 

I have no fear 

My love is so deep, you have no clue 

Do take me away with you. 

To a cave, a beach 

Fun or no fun 

The clouds, the moon 

Or the sun 

Won’t protest to what you do, whatever you do 

Just don’t keep me away from you 

Please take me away with you. 

5.Derek's rap following Alice's song

Don’t worry dear if that’s the case 

 I’m coming to you in a dead quick pace 

Loneliness you need no longer trace 

Sorry for hurting you all these days 

I too miss my sun’s rays 

Soon all the distance will erase 

But just make me one promise, Alice, 

Don’t let that smile off your face.

6. I'd almost forgot Carl's bday rap for Derek from chapter 4

Birthday wishes to my dearest brother, whose happiness now is like none other. If you need something, just gimme a call. Go and enjoy man, that’s all.

7. The instant rap from Derek to Alice/Rave

You make each moment everyday

To me you are a lot more than life

Let heaven record my words as I ask

Rave, will you be my wife?

8. Looking for the eighth? I stopped myself from including more of them in this book. I even had a song written down for the 'Sangeet' ceremony which was supposed to be from Derek. I wanted to end the last chapter with few verses too. But with great difficulty- convincing myself that I was overloading the book with the verses- I stopped.

My favourite among them? I seriously can't pick, but I'd like to hear from you :)
