Suncatcher

Night is nearing its closure

The earth is yearning for the light

But the skies have frozen over

The sun of my heart cannot pierce this dark

To catch the whispers of the heavens

The black mountain pass must be sought

Where the beast of seclusion awaits

We won't endure the cold, and neither will the dawn

The bitter despair of their starving eyes

Has paved the road that I fear

In the greenest grove, their savior will never appear

Nothing I've learned holds its meaning

When the soul is cast out of its home

And the scars of my strength never deepening

The stars turn their heads from the tears I have shed

The key had always been my treasure

While the lock was the much greater prize

The forest looks straight through the lies I've kept inside

Open your eyes and feel no hate

Towards the darkness you hold, it will not be your fate

The sun may be far away from your grasp

But its flames will remain, Illusions of light never last

An oath I will make to the depths of my core

To die for those who cannot fight this war

To shatter the ice destroying our land

I'll return gold in hand, or I'll not return at all

Embrace the shadow

For its path you must follow

I close my eyes and feel such hate

Will the darkness I hold become my fate?

The sun is so far away from my grasp

Will its flames still remain, when illusions of light fade so fast?

Will the dawn show its face?

Or will its life I'll forever chase?

The darkest paths converge where the light will meet the ground

I hear no sound, and see no sign of fortune's hidden rhyme

How strange it seems that at the edge of life, I could find my way

'Cause for today, the road of frozen starlight I've begun
