Ye Jocobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jocobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, your faults I will proclaim,
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear
What is right and what is wrong, by the law, by the law ?
What is right and what is wrong, by the law ?
What is right and what is wrong, a short sword or a long
A weak arm or strong for to draw, for to draw
A weak arm or strong for to draw
What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar ?
What makes heroic strife famed afar ?
What makes heroic strife, to wet the assassin’s knife,
Or hunt a parent‘s life with bloody war, bloody war
Or hunt a parent‘s life with bloody war ?
Then leave your schemes alone in the state, in the state
Then leavey our schemes alone in the state,
Then leave your schemes alone, adore the rising sun
And leave a man undone to his fate, to his fate
William Taylor was a brisk young sailor
Full of heart and full of play
Till his mind he did uncover
To a youthful lady gay
Four and twenty British sailors
Met him on the king's highway
As he went for to be married
Pressed he was and sent away
Folleri-de-dom, de- daerai diddero
Folleri-de-dom, domme daerai dae
Folleri-de-dom, de- daerai diddero
Folleri-de-dom, domme daerai dae
Sailor's clothing she put on
And she went on board as a man-o-war
Her pretty little fingers long and slender
They were smeared with pitch and tar
On the ship there was a battle
She amongst the rest did fight
The wind blew off her silver buttons
Breasts were bared all snowy white
When the captain did discover
He said Fair maid, what brought you here?
Sir, I'm seeking William Taylor.
Pressed he was by you last year.
If you rise up in the morning.
Early at the break of day.
There you'll find young William Taylor
Walking with his lady gay.
She rose early in the morning
Early at the break of day
There she spied young William Taylor
Walking with his lady gay
She procured a pair of pistols
On the ground where she did stand
Theer she shot bold William Taylor
We follow the taillights out of the city
Moving in a river of red
As the colours fade away from
Dusky sunset
We roll for the darkness ahead
We are old, we are young
We are in this together
Vagabonds and children
Prisoners forever
With pulses a-raging
And eyes full of wonder
Kicking out behind us again
Nighttime City Beat the radio is calling
The lost and lonely in vain
Out here we are running for the
Wide open spaces
The roadsmell after the rain
We are old, we are young
We are in this together
Vagabonds and children
Prisoners forever
With pulses a-raging
And eyes full of wonder
Kickingo ut behind us again
And watching as a boy alone
At the quayside
The ships loading cargo in the night
Their names all calling to faraway places
The years go past, the miles go by
And still this childhood romance
Oh, Father dear, I oft times hear you talk of Erin's Isle,
Her lofty scene, her valleys green, her mountains rude and wild
They say it is a pretty place where in a prince might dwell,
Oh, why did you abandon it, the reason to me tell?
Oh, son I loved my native land with energy and pride
'Til a blight came over on my crops, my sheep and cattle died,
The rent and taxes were so high, I could not them redeem,
And that's the cruel reason why I left old Skibbereen.
Oh, It's well I do remember that bleak December day,
The landlord and the sheriff came to drive us all away
They set my roof on fire with their demon yellow spleen
And that's another reason why I left old Skibbereen.
Your mother too, God rest her soul, fell on the snowy ground,
She fainted in her anguish seeing the desolation round.
She never rose but passed away from life to mortal dream,
She found a quiet grave, my bo,y in dear old Skibbereen.
And you were only two years old and feeble was your frame,
I could not leave you with your friends, you bore your father's name,
I wrapped you in my cóta mór in the dead of night unseen
True you ride the finest horse I have ever seen,
Standing sixteen, one or two. With eyes wild and green,
You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch,
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to.
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to.
When you ride in to the night without a trace behind,
Run your claw along my gut one last time.
I turn to face an empty space where you used to lie,
And look for the spark that lights the night
Through a teardrop in my eye.
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to.
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to.
Near Banbridge Town in the county Down
One morning last July
Down a boreen green came a sweet coleen
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
For to see I was really there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I’ve seen like the brown coleen
That I met in the county Down
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head
And I looked with a feeling rare
And I says, says I, to a passer-by
Who‘s the maid with the nut-brown hair?
He smiled at me and then says he
That‘s the gem of the Irelands crown.
Young Rosie McCann from the Banks of the Bann
She’s the sta rof the county Down
At the harvest fair she’ll be surely there,
So I dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
For a smile from my nut-brown Rose
No pipe I’ll smoke, no horse I‘ll yoke,
Till my plough is a rust-coloured brown
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside,
When he drops you off, I will not say
Who was that who so quickly drove away
The things you’ve done
And the places you’ve been
When I open the door for you
I will not let them in
As long as you come back to me
I will never ask
For you I will be
The man in teh iron mask
You said you loved me and it broke my heart
I was always a prisoner right from the start
The nights you spend without me,
This house is like a dungeon
And you only return to torture me more
You must have your reasons
I will not ask
For you I will be
Step we gaily on we go,
Heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and on we go,
All for Mairi’s wedding
Over hillways up and down,
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the sheiling through the town,
On the ocean o‘he
Waves in motion o‘ho
Not but clouds could we see
O’er the blue sea below
Islay loomin‘ o‘he
In the gloamin‘ o‘ho
Our ship’s compass set we
And our lights we did show
Leis a Lurrighan
In the grey dark of evening
O’er the waves let us go
Aros passing o‘he
Was harrassing o‘ho
The proud belows to see
High as masthead to flow
Captain hollers o‘he
To his fellows o‘ho
Those that courage would flee
Let him go down below
In the tempest o‘he
Waves were crashing o‘ho
And the cry of the sea
As the cold winds did blow
Captain hollers o‘he
To his fellows o‘ho
Those that won’t stay with me
I was stained, with a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and I
Will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight
Never cared never wanted never sought to see what flaunted
So on purpose so in my face couldn't see beyond my own place
And it was so easy not to behold what I could hold
But you taught me I could change whatever came within these shallow days
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and I
Will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen
As the sun shines through it pushes away and pushes ahead
It fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead and
I didn't know that I could be so blind to all that is so real
But as illusion dies I see there is so much to be revealed
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and I
Will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight
I was stained, by a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and I
Will never cease to fly if held down and
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
caught up in circles confusion--
is nothing new
Flashback--warm nights--
almost left behind
suitcases of memories,
time after--
sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me, I can't hear
what you've said--
Then you say--go slow--
I fall behind--
the second hand unwinds
chorus:
if you're lost you can look--and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
time after time
after my picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray
watching through windows--you're wondering
if I'm OK
secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time--
chorus:
if you're lost...
you said go slow--
I fall behind
the second hand unwinds--
chorus:
if you're lost...
...time after time
time after time
time after time
It’s far away were I was born
A land of green, of grass and corn
The towns so old, the people poor
Afraid of what would come,
Afraid of what would come
The hunger spread 'though corn was there
They shipped it out and did not care
We had no rights we could claim
Despair was everywhere,
Despair everywhere
A land of hope so far away
We dreamt of freedom, better days
The morning came when we did leave
And left behind our families,
And left behind our families
The new world gave us jobs and food
But could not change our dismal mood
We missed our people, Ireland’s green
The river and the valleys,
The river and the valleys
One day my people will be free
No poverty, no need to flee
I’m longing for this day to come
Surviving is the game,
Surviivng is the game
It’s far away were I was born
A land of green, of grass and corn
The towns so old, the people free
The flame is still burning,
You can tell by the way she walks that she's my girl
you can tell by the way she talks she rules the world
you can see in her eyes that no one is her chane
she's my girl my supergirl
And then she'd say it's okay I got lost on the way
but I'm a supergirl and supergirls don't cry
and then she'd say it's alright I got home late last night
but I'm a supergirl and supergirls just fly
And then she'd say that nothing can go wrong
when you're in love what can go wrong
and then she laugh the night time into day
pushing her fear further along
And then she'd say it's okay I got lost on the way
but I'm a supergirl and supergirls don't cry
and then she's say it's alright I got home late last night
but I'm a supergirl and supergirls just fly
And then she'd shout down the line tell me she's got no more time
'cause she's a supergirl and supergirls don't hide
and then she'd scream in my face tell me to leave leave this place
'cause she's a supergirl and supergirls just fly
Yea she's a supergirl a supergirl
she's sowing seeds she's burning trees
she's sowing seeds she's burning trees
yea she's a supergirl a supergirl
In the village of Kildoran lived a maiden young and fair.
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds, she had long and golden
hair,
The countryman came riding up to her daddy's gate,
Mounted on a milk-white stallio,n he came at the stroke of eight.
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter,
Step it out Mary if you can.
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter,
Show your legs to the countryman.
I have come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair,
I have gold and I have silver, I have land beyond compare.
I will buy her silks and satins and a gold ring for her hand.
I will build for her a mansion, she'll have servants to command.
"Oh, kind Sir I have a soldier and I've pledged to him my hand.
I don't want your house nor silver, I don't want your gold nor land."
Mary's father spoke up sharply, "you will do as you are told
You will marry him on Sunday and you will wear the ring of gold."
In the village of Kildoran there's a deep stream running by.
They found Mary there on Sunday, drowned with the soldier boy.
In the cottage there is music, you can hear her daddy say,
Lift Mac Cahir Og your face,
Brooding o’er the old disgrace,
That black Fitzwilliam stormed your place
And drove you to the Fern
Grey said victory was sure,
Soon the firebrand he’d secure
Until he met at Glenmalure,
Feach MacHugh O’Byrne
Curse and swear Lord Kildare,
Feach will do what Feach will dare
Now Fitzwilliam have a care
Fallen is your star low
Up with halbert, out with sword
On we go for by the Lord
Feach MacHugh has given the word
Follow me up to Carlow
See the swords of Glen Imayle,
Flashing o’er the English Pale
See all the children of the Gael,
Beneath O’Byrne’s banners
Rooster of the fighting stock,
Would you let a Saxon cock
Crow out upon an Irish rock,
Fly up and teach him manners
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Feach will do what Feach will dare
Now Fitzwilliam, have a care
Fallen is your star low
Up with halbert, out with sword
On we go for by the Lord
Feach MacHugh has given the word
Follow me up to Carlow
From Tassagart to Clonmore,
Flows a stream of Saxon gore
And great was Rory Og O'More
At sending loons to Hades
White is sick and Grey has fled
And now for black Fitzwilliam's head
We'll send it over, dripping red
To Liza and her ladies
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Feach will do what Feach will dare
Now Fitzwilliam have a care
Fallen is your star low
Up with halbert, out with sword
On we go for by the Lord
Feach MacHugh has given the word
Follow me up to Carlow
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Feach will do what Feach will dare
Now Fitzwilliam have a care
Fallen is your star low
Up with halbert, out with sword
On we go for by the Lord
Feach MacHugh has given the word
Todgeweihtes altes Weib
Deine Tage sind gezählt
Unverletzbar schienst Du mir
Bestimmt für eine Ewigkeit
Ausgelaugt und ausgebrannt
Das letzte Blut versiegt
Die Haut mit Rissen übersät
Wir haben Dich besiegt
Wir Kinder dieser Erde tragen Dich zu Grab
Im Leben, das Du uns geschenkt hast
Haben wir versagt
Wir Kinder dieser Erde gehen mit Dir ins Grab
Unaufhaltsam streben wir
Hin zum Jüngsten Tag
Todgeweihtes altes Weib
Zerstückelt wird Dein Leib
Wir opfern Deinen Körper
Unserer eigenen Herrlichkeit
Dein Ende wird voll Schmerzen sein
Mit Dir sind wir verdammt
Trauer hat den Sinn verloren
Dein Tod ist unser Untergang
Wir Kinder dieser Erde tragen Dich zu Grab
Im Leben, das Du uns geschenkt hast
Haben wir versagt
Wir Kinder dieser Erde gehen mit Dir ins Grab
nUaufhaltsam streben wir
Young Molly was handsome and pretty
I dressed and put on me new coat
And off to the mainland to meet her
Myself and the small rowing boat
I hadn’t gone more than a furlong
When holes in the bottom did sproat
A big wave came up and capsized me
Myself and the small rowin’ boat
Well up came a great big sea serpent
He was forty feet long now or more
He had one look at seldom features
And offered to take me ashore
“Oh where are you goin’ in such weather?”
“I was going courtin’ Molly,”says I.
“For there’s no young ones left on the island
So how’s a young man to get by ?”
Why don’t you and Molly get married
And then you can both stay at home
For it’s better to suffer in marriage
Than cathin’ your death in the cold
Well tonight I will ask her to marry
I’m hopin’ that she will agree
for I’d rather be poor and be married
Than riskin’ me life on the sea
Come up the stairs, up the stairs,
Come up the stairs, Molly O
Come up the stairs, Come up the stairs,
Bring somethin‘ to warm me old bones
There’s a tear in my eye and I‘m wondering why
For it never should be there at all
Lost in a dream of the days gone by
But never should a teardrop fall
Well, a broken heart will cease to yearn
For the love that used to be
But I don’t feel sad for the time we had
It was the best time for you and me
I swear I’ll ne’er forget
The one I love
I swear I’ll ne’er forget
When the world seemed bright and gay
I swear &I;#8217;ll ne’er forget
The one I love
I swear I’ll ne’er forget
When the world seemed bright and gay
But all the girls
I‘ve ever loved did not stay
There’s a thunder on the wind my friend
Today this tale begun
You here the shouts of fightin‘ men
And the beatin‘ of the drum
We hear a prayer on every breath
Oh lord, let this all pass
There’re shadows on the far hillside
There’s blood all on the grass
The battle shouts are slient now
In the mud these young men lie
The name of their own dear sweetheart
Their last breath as they die
The pike, the sword, the musket all
Performed the deadly task
A lark sings in the clear blue sky
There’s blood all on the grass
There’s mist all on the quiet field
Where the fox and rabbit run
The glowing sky is growing red
With the setting of the sun
And the blood-red river’s running by
Neath the bridge as it does pass
With the lives and the loves of all young men
The fire is out, we lost our name
But the ghost of our friends to us remain
Pale in the dark
Here was never a god
But we smile with a bleeding heart
Discoloured leaves are falling down
The deadly seeds are sawn
The clay is vile beneath our feed
Hope and love is all we need
The day is done
All song is sung
The hour of lead has just begun
"Why should the world be overwise
In counting all our tears and sighs" *
All the leaves have fallen down
Now, the deadly seeds are grown
Pale in the dark
Here was never a god
But we smile with a bleeding heart
The day is done
All son gis sung
The hour of lead has just begun
"Why should the world be overwise
I will not tell you to make up your mind
But to gather together the best of your kind
The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate
You childhood has ended you've taken the bait
You've got the power it's there deep inside
Just look around and you'll know what you've tried
So much relies on the course that you take
The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah
Look at the heads buried deep in the sand
They're hiding from evil that's all by their hand
The things that they see they are really so small
It's all in their minds if it is there are all
You've got the power it's there deep inside
Just look around and you'll know what you've tried
So much relies on the course that you take
Here I am I’m alive again, still wondering who
Out the window the sun shines in, saying give it a try
I take it all and then I give it back,
and it never seems to go away,
it's a promised day, a long promised day
We have not always been so blind, long ago we could see
Was a time we could take it all, rooted deep like a tree
Now I watch as it comes falling down,
and it seems there's little else to do,
is it the same for you? the same for you.....
Underneath this veneer it lies, taking toll of the time
Till' you see it for what it is, with no reason or rhyme
How strange it is just to die to live,
and it never ever goes away,
it's a promised day (a long promised day)
(spoken)
There’s always something missing
Perfection’s come and gone
Someone’s always off the mark
When all the rest are on
No use in your denying
You can’t escape the facts
For every one who makes it
There’s one slips through the cracks
(sung)
I will always wonder if there could have been another
When I find a moment alone to reflect on the day
It will fill my heart to flowing over all
Come and take away this rock where I stumble and fall
A compelling reason to follow in steps I’ve not known
If I fall in battle I’ll know it’s the war that I own
It will fill my life till nothing remains
Come and break apart this fortress that keeps me in
chains
Fires of Heaven, burn through me
Touch of Leaven, make me free
(spoken)
The wine is in the sangraal
It beckons, for it’s pure
It’s a paragon of freedom
In a world no longer sure
(sung)
Born amidst the wonder
Born among the lost
Watching the abandonment of reason
Taking in the moment
Taking up the years
Witnessing the end of our good season
Stirring strange emotions
Conjuring the fears
Each one sees the things they really want to see
Made a world of wonder
We made a world of pain
Now the days will come for the apostasy
I am watching it fall around me
I am listening to every sound I hear
I am doing what one man can do
As the daylight is fading on the Eve
Of the Great Decline...
Dumbing down the Culture
Chaos on the Rise
Watching all the beauty as it's waning
Scene is so familiar
Like words that I have read
The world is lost but soon a new one gaining
I was born amidst the wonder
I was born among the lost
Watching the abandonment of reason
Taking in the moment
Taking up the years
Witnessing the end of our good season
I am watching it fall around me
I am listening to every sound I hear
I am doing what I can do
As the daylight is fading on the Eve
Upon this man there is a curse
His life is only getting worse
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run
A reign of fear at last begun
The morning sun is so obscure
And for this ill there is no cure
This isn't what you bargained for
God is gone and locked the door
Who will tell you what it's all about?
I can only dream of getting out
The clash of war will reach your ears
Before the turn of twenty years
The faith you had in man is lost
And now you cannot pay the cost
Hell has opened up its gate
The hour is growing very late
Help is there within our reach
But you have silenced those who teach
Who will tell you what it's all about?
And I can only dream of getting out
The clash of war will reach your ears
Before the turn of twenty years
The faith you had in man is lost
And now you cannot pay the cost
The morning sun is so obscure
And for this ill there is no cure
This isn't what you bargained for
God is gone and locked the door
Who will tell you what it's all about?And I can only
Standing alone, feeling it be
Why is it so hard just to live?
Biting my soul, just trying to be
What is that they're looking for?
If you can't see the way it must be
You don't have any right to live
Just leave us alone, just let us be
We are the ones -- rule the world!
You have come to the brink of your destruction
My patience has worn thin
It is time to judge the value of your life
Let a thinking man begin
Standing alone, feeling it be
Why is it so hard just to live?
Biting my soul, just trying to be
What is that they're looking for?
If you can't live, lifting yourself
Why do you drag down someone else?
Just leave us alone, just let us be
Take a moment to realize what you're doing here
Are you filled with fear
By the thought of opening your soul?
Do you feel the presence of an enduring peace
And an inner love
Let it be the one who's voice you hear
Joy and sorrows, all tomorrow's, harmony
Dreams and visions, our decisions, fill the void
The beginning and the end are both beyond
The thoughts you send
Everything that is was meant to be
You are the one made manifest till all creations
Laid to rest
We must live according to the plan
Don't refuse, you'll only lose, you'll lose it in the end
Give yourself, fullfilling purpose, grow with time
The beginning and the end are both beyond
The thoughts you send
Everything that is was meant to be
You are the one made manifest till all creations
Laid to rest
We must live according to the plan
Don't refuse, you'll only lose, you'll lose it in the end
Inside every boy and man was the warring of the clan
They could never let it be throwing bones into the sea
On the seventh day of May, swordsmen slew the Christ of
Wray
Left him lie upon the floor a bloody omen for their sport
In the morning cross the land all the lords were there at
hand
And the peace that was to be died in minds that failed to
Pounding hooves tore in the ground scarring all the land
around
When the spear and arrow fly will a single soul know why?
Gone the battle on the eve in the darkness kneeled three
On their faces loomed the fire who survives the funeral
pyre
Wives and children kneeled in awe for no reason that they
A stranger sight was never seen
Not a soul is heard - no voices, not a face is seen
All the ships have sailed, the flights are gone
There’s a house with the windows open..and the TV's on
They said they knew what's coming
The experts all agreed
It will come on one fine morning - it's guaranteed
There’s an empty store, and a vacant shop
And a baseball lies in stillness - in the parking lot
Newspaper blows, down a dusty street
And a billboard shows me a picture - something good to
They said they knew the reason
The experts all agreed
Life will manifest due season - it's been decreed
The lights are dim and the sky is pale
When the day is done are there any left who can tell the
tale
On a crimson sea, and a roaring wave
Their hearts would fail them now if they looked into the
Rising, falling, so enthralling
surging, racing all embracing
Polar spacing, perfect phasing
Equal action, balanced fraction
Moving to the left, moving to the right
Never any change in the day or night
Just a little love, just a little strange
Always been the same it will never change,
Oh so small, and still so great
More than any man could imitate,
Magnify it up, find it in the book
All you had to do was take a look
Spinning, bending, still ascending
I know a place, you've never seen
But it knows you right from the start
It's just beyond the ebb and flow
Of a dark and restless heart
You are standing all alone in the rain when it touches
With a power that your world cannot contain
And the sun breaks through the clouds when you're least
expecting it
And it moves you, it moves you
A child is born, within your heart
To live this dream that you lost
You'll sing again a song of joy
And your emptiness is the cost
There's a light in the window and somebody's there to
welcome you
To the place that you will always call your home
And the sun breaks through the clouds when you're least
expecting it
And it moves you, it moves you
It's an ominous sign, when you step 'cross the line
you can never look back at the past
And you rest in the glow, as the oracle starts to shine
So don't give up, don't be afraid
Though shadows move in the night
This warm embrace of mercy's love
Will become the soul's delight
And the sun breaks through the clouds when you're least
expecting it
With a symphony that melts away your pain
And you turn your face to the master who's conducting
Snake men dance in a fiery pile
Wizards make their time worthwhileBodies burning in a
pitBoiling oil and sizzling spit
Body fluids and blood flows fast
Insects swarm on maiden chaste
Eyeballs staring open wide
And bones protruding from a side
People stand in a burning tree
Someone screaming helplessly
Heads are buried in the sand
A man is reaching for a skull in hand
Thorns have torn the flesh awayAnd two moons stole the
sun todayMaggots have a holidayAnd sunsets frighten worms
away
Telephones ring endlessly
Horses writhe in agony
A sterile axe, bloody bodies hacked
The king has moved into a shack
Thorns have torn the flesh away
And two moons stole the sun today
Maggots have a holiday
I feel you walking on a striped wheelA long way to the
other sideThey looked us over and plastered air Upon our
bodies, two so fineYou'll note the movement on our eyes
Soft dirt below me, green velvet sky
What happened to the marble plain?
We enter doorways through paper moons
And slide ten thousand miles below
I wonder why we talk so slow
Outdated movies are showing hereBehind the curtain upside
downPink woolly mammoths are worth the prizeAs I go
swimming in your eyesThe mammoth jumps right up and flies
take in the air
Let music take you there
They call it amber
The movie in your eyes
Only pieces in the game
Just one lone woman who's to blame
