Ninja Sex Party - Madrigal Lyrics






When the dragons grow too mighty
To slay with pen or sword
I grow weary of the battle
And the storm I walk toward

When all around is madness
And there's no safe port in view
I long to turn my path homeward
To stop a while with you

When life becomes as barren
And as cold as winter skies
There's a beacon in the darkness
In a distant pair of eyes

In vain to search for honor
In vain to search for truth
But these things can still be given
Your love has shown me proof

  1. a.... ....

    Amazing

  2. E.... ....

    My favorite band covered by my favorite person!

  3. J.... F....

    A farewell to kings is the first rush album I bought on vinyl. So amazing.

  4. s.... ....

    honestly gotta say, this is one of my favorite covers rn

  5. T.... L....

    Wow. Never though I'd see a cover of this. A Farewell to Kings is my favorite Rush album. Good job!

  6. C.... D....

    A very unexpected Rush song to have a cover of! But god am I glad, it's one of my favs, it makes me tear up a bit!

  7. S.... B....

    This is surprisingly good. Excellent, even. It's very soothing, and the harmonies are spot-on. Well done, NSP. Well done.

  8. S.... �....

    Wow. I love Rush, and I know Danny does too. A lot apparently. How many other Rush covers are on this album?


    Also let me add OMG this song's really gud with Danny's voice. Gj NSP

  9. H.... O....

    When the dragons grew too mighty to slay with pen or sword,
    I drew my wooden spoon and ate whole the horde.
    O, there were dragon pies, orc pies too.
    But I still long to return and scoff you.

  10. H.... ....

    This is my wedding song

  11. K.... ....

    Goddamnit Rush is so good, and this is fabulous as well!

  12. s.... ....

    I thought this would've been a cover of Madrigal by yes.

    s.... ....

    superQuizzie same still good though

  13. T.... 0....

    What an odd song to remake. Like, off of the whole 1977 album Farewell to Kings, they chose Madrigal. Not Closer to the Heart or Xanadu or Cinderella Man. Fortunately, it’s a fantastic cover, so I can’t complain.

  14. i.... m....

    I’m doing a project for music appreciation not what I expected this find when I looked up “Madrigal

  15. g.... O....

    Love this song

  16. X.... ....

    Whoa, Dan...pulling out one of the more hidden RUSH gems. Good on you!

  17. K.... K....

    I'm an enormous Rush fan, and NSP rocked the SHIT out of this tune. I love the vocal harmonies at the end, a welcome addition from the original.

  18. D.... G....

    when I listen this song I think of Elric of Melnibone

    D.... G....

    David Gerrero You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars...

  19. W.... ....

    This version is honestly better than the original in every way, in my opinion. It's just much better quality and there is more dimension in their sound. Insane job on this one, and the whole album to be honest.

  20. C.... ....

    Wow... I completely shrugged this song off when I first listened to the album, but... coming back to it now, I really love it.

  21. F.... G....

    God I wish this was longer...


    but a song like this extended over 4 minutes would lose it's serenity.

    F.... G....

    I've often wondered if the length of this song was intentional. Just as when you turn your path homeward to stop a while with your loved ones, the time is so sweet and precious but always fleeting. Never long enough. If you find yourself grasping at the end of this song wishing there was more, perhaps that's the feeling they were hoping to bring about. It is, after all, one of Rush's shortest songs and they were never shy about making long songs.

    F.... G....

    If you want a longer song with the same energy, listen to his cover of The Last Unicorn

  22. P.... L....

    Sorry, but the synth replacing the guitar with the boss ce-01 chorus that was used in the original and, the playing of alex lifeson, so much of the magic was lost.

    P.... L....

    Peter Lukach Do not worry, I'm currently working on my own cover (but it's recorded in GarageBand so it can only be so good. I also don't have a drummer, especially not Neil Peart. I also can't sing. Actually this may not work out.)

  23. K.... ....

    I've decided that this will be the song at my wedding my future wife and I will dance to

    K.... ....

    Kestrel893 Agreed. That or I'm going to make my own cover and present it to the girl I long for.

  24. F.... G....

    Time to replay this till I hate it.

  25. S.... S....

    through the fire and the Flames by DragonForce

  26. A.... Q....

    the last goodbye and Misty mountains from the Hobbit. I would love to hear Danny cover those

  27. S.... ....

    Thanks to this cover, I own Farewell To Kings in its entirety. Love you guys.

  28. A.... ....

    as I was scrolling down my recommended off to the side I saw "accept my shaft" ..
    does anybody else remember that song?

    A.... ....

    Yes its very good😂

    A.... ....

    Yeah, we need an animated or a remake of that. That song gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Man, that deep voice...

    A.... ....

    Hell yeah. A true accomplishment of musical triumph.

  29. L.... B....

    this puts me to sleep in a good way.

  30. Y.... S....

    The most underrated song on A Farewell to Kings. Very nice cover by NSP.

  31. L.... 4....

    its meh but thats probably because its all fake instruments

    L.... 4....

    LuigisMansion9000 Mark Actually, TWRP did the music for Under the Covers

    L.... 4....

    Gerald Cetrulo sorry for being uninformed but what is that?

    L.... 4....

    LuigisMansion9000 Mark TWRP is a band that actually does use real instruments. They assisted in the making of this beautiful album. In this song was a lot of synthesizer, I'll give you that, but they played bass and drums and questionably guitar in it, throwing a lot of synth in to put their own spin on it.

    It's not exactly Rush, but it's beautiful.

  32. C.... P....

    A Farewell To Kings is a masterpiece

    C.... P....

    It's up there with _Hemispheres_ and _Permanent Waves_ in my opinion. While _2112_ had a great title track, _A Farewell To Kings_ was another step into the greatness they still had yet to fully realize.

    C.... P....

    Christopher Poole my first rush album lmao

  33. m.... x....

    this is the first time ive ever heard this song, in any version, and holy shit it's actually very pretty O.O

    m.... x....

    matvey x ivan listen to Rush's version, Geddy Lee has ana amazing voice

    m.... x....

    matvey x ivan same!

    m.... x....

    Welcome to Ninja Sex Party... Enjoy your stay.

    m.... x....

    As always Dan is great, but nothing beats the original

    m.... x....

    @Caleb Lawhorn dude I've been listening to NSP since 2015 and Rush years before and Subdivisions has always been my favorite and I was so happy when they covered it

  34. T.... ....

    Actually love both versions of this song. This is new with the keyboards and the original is more raw actual instruments. Gotta give NSP the credit they deserve 👏

  35. S.... ....

    Didn't even know of this Rush song. But I see the Rush in it for sure.

  36. F.... ....

    "when dragons grow too mighty to slay with pen or sword"
    Gwyn:"USE LIGHTNING SPEARS!!!"

    F.... ....

    Just as I'm playing dark souls, I see this comment.
    This comment is magical.

    F.... ....

    STUDENT-MARK TRAVIS correction: it was 90 million hundred, 50 thousand hundred feet in the air 😁

    F.... ....

    Azalya Felts thanks for correcting my school account lol idk I wasn't sure lol

    F.... ....

    @LuigisMansion 44 haha, np

  37. T.... ....

    Those harmonies at the end <33333

  38. M.... K....

    When the dragons grow too mighty
    To slay with pen or sword
    I grow weary of the battle
    And the storm I walk toward

    When all around is madness
    And there's no safe port in view
    I long to turn my path homeward
    To stop a while with you

    When life becomes as barren
    And as cold as winter skies
    There's a beacon in the darkness
    In a distant pair of eyes

    In vain to search for honor
    And in vain to search for truth
    But these things can still be given
    Your love has shown me proof

    M.... K....

    Love this song

  39. t.... P....

    It's so nice to see an entire album with only positive comments.

    t.... P....

    I agree :)

    t.... P....

    I love you and cats

  40. T.... ....

    Nsp's cover is okay, but I think Rush was better with this song it's more what I call magic.

  41. D.... G....

    Which artist or band first made this song? Or is it one of their originals?

    D.... G....

    Rush first made it back on their 'A Farewell to Kings' album

    D.... G....

    Short Answer: Rush

    Long Answer: Rush, way back in the 70s

    D.... G....

    Well crap I'm one of the biggest Rush fans ever and I didn't even know about this song. Brb should hang self.

    D.... G....

    KidOmegaByte rush made it first. it's on the album: a farewell to kings



    im so educated hee hee

  42. J.... 7....

    This album is godlike

  43. C.... R....

    This album is fantastic. I never thought I'd be so happy about an album with only covers

  44. G.... B....

    This is my absolute favorite song on this album. His voice sounds so dreamy.

  45. S.... T....

    I love the RUSH cover!! Hell yeah!!

  46. A.... ....

    I am in love with this album

  47. S.... ....

    I was expecting the album to have rocky songs, but there's none, opposed to some in the songs, but that's minimal, love the album.

    S.... ....

    Well, this song is by a rock band.

  48. M.... ....

    You guys rocked this! All in all you guys made a solid covers album.

  49. J.... D....

    Better than their Subdivisions cover this Madrigal cover fit them like this cover a lot this cover is solid my grade B

  50. J.... W....

    This is an amazing cover! Favorite song off the album!

  51. J.... B....

    this was a weird choice

    J.... B....

    i'm pretty sure peppermint creams was based off of it, so it's probably pretty special. also, it's just a really good song.

    J.... B....

    james byrnes it's weird, but good.

    J.... B....

    It was the first cover song they recorded actually. They made it for one of Dan's friends as a birthday gift. It was before they even knew they were gonna make a cover album, and I must say - they nailed it!

    J.... B....

    I Mixed thats really cool actually, where did you find that out?

    J.... B....

    Their Reddit. Also I'm sure he's mentioned it before..
