Eldest And Truest

Brought before the elder fire

On knees the child fell

And through it came the mystic flame

To cast an ancient spell

For mastery of the truest skills

This child came to seek

In payment for thy peace of mind

To this the muse shall speak

One soul, two lives, threefold the lasting price

Not all rewards take shape in golden form

What cost? What gain?

Some lost and some remained

Quite long before today this choice already made

And once again, into the storm

Another sacrifice performed

This is the way, come flame or flood, it's in the blood

An age gone by and still he thrives in patterns and in waves

With windows closed as fate forebode agreed and fully paid

A solace in creation no threat could render still

Forevermore an avatar, the muses mark their will

One goal, two halves, three strikes for sundered paths

Not all recede to last in memory

Come rain, come shine come skies with stars aligned

Turn many into one with energies combined

And once again, into the storm

Another sacrifice performed

This is the way, come flame or flood, it's in the blood

It's in the blood

It's in the blood

It's in the blood
