 		[Trailhead] A CHALLENGE FOR YOUR COURT
Second trail head I've found and posted. This one is very personal and specific, though.
I got this in my Reddit mail:

A CHALLENGE FOR YOUR COURT

from YENOTGUILTY
sent 5 hours ago

WHAT'S AN EIGHT LETTER WORD FOR KING KILLING, BUT BACKWARDS?

http://tinyurl.com/XXXXXXXX

FILL IN THE GAPS AND SOLVE THE MURDER, PEON

When I clicked on the link, it brought me to this:

http://www.gilby.com/

I need help on this. It's bizarre.

EDIT: The word was Regicide. I put that backwards with tinyurl.com and got this:

http://www.mediafire.com/?jgg3hxxr3137qer

wtf. Please help.

EDIT: Couldn't attach the mp3 here so uploaded it to a site of my own..

it was originally named "The Court of the Crimson King".

 		Beat your Ploughshares!
The "beat the plowshares" quote is part of the Book of Joel, specifically Joel 3:10

 		The first thing that came to my mind was either second 1:39, or second 2:03 (the 139th second on the song).

Also, it seems to me that this is a non-modified MP3 file...

Yeah, get this though. It was originally beat your swords into plowshares, as in, turn your weapons into a tool of peace. He wants us to turn that back into swords...so he wants us to fight something?

 		It would help if we had the email address so we can send him our answer. Or at least try to open a line of communication.

 		Well, send him reddit mail. It's YENOTGUILTY as I recall. That's how he first contacted me. Do we know the answer yet?

I've been listening to it repeatedly as well... Only thing that I can say, just guessing, is either the Black Queen or the Fire Witch... because on minute 1:39 it's close to mentioning the queen, and around minute 2:30 it's the interlude called Return of the Fire Witch.

Again, I'm just guessing. And it is a very very long shot.

EDIT: On further research, it seems I misplaced the interlude, it's not on 2:31. So, I go with the Black Queen, she is mentioned "chanting the funeral march" exactly on 1:39.

Go download the file for yourself. I REALLY need help now. Is no one else getting responses or do I have to act as surrogate?

 		Again with the plows.

"beat the plowshares back to swords
HINT: 4:2 "

Quote:
Isaiah 2:4 ...and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks...


Sticking with the backwards theme this would become 4:2 haiasI ???
