The Relic
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
silver cross in ancient halls, deep inside the castle walls
bound to sleep, forever locked in chains
evil carved into the stone, ancient words they've never known
a serpent's silent shroud still remains
come with me and i'll make all your wishes come true
lifting the chains of oppression from you
wiping away the lines carved in your face
take the relic from this place...
carry on, into the horizon, wielding courage, staff in hand
journey on, through shadows and dreams, and what lies beyond the guardian's keep
prey and siege in voiceless woe, who's dust was scattered long ago
awaken from this dark and endless sleep
man's desires-now mortal wounds, believing tales and shallow truths
hardened hearts now tremble in the keep
trust in me and i'll lay all your nightmares to waste
take the relic from this place
carry on, into the horizon, wielding courage, staff in hand
journey on, through shadows and dreams, and what lies beyond the guardian's keep
