Such beauty there is in the world And such danger Far from the too-bright sky Maybe we could be happy here Lead me into the dark Never let me go Lead me into the dark Never let me go I could not see a waving hand No curl of tawny hair Twisting and turning in the currents Gulls circling overhead Lead me into the dark Never let me go Lead me into the dark Never let me go

The sun shone down Like the eye of a tyrant Between the moon and the Earth The young boy felt the gaze of a traitor Strike him like an arrow made of air And the mountains will crumble to valleys And the rivers of the land will run red And the child sees it all As the future unravels before him This child of the sea The King in his tower With an army surrounding The flames of the fire burned bright The last thing he saw at the edge of the treeline A young boy surrounded by light And the mountains will crumble to valleys And the rivers of the land will run red And the child sees it all As the future unravels before him This child of the sea

Hers was a kingdom of deep skies And slow, shallow waters Ranks of clouds, advancing like cavalry over the flatlands He was marked as royalty A slow, burning flame Danced like a crane-fly in his open mouth A slow, burning flame Standing as though they were still alive Their eyes reflecting the storm Beneath the belly of rain clouds An army of the fallen He was marked as royalty A slow, burning flame Danced like a crane-fly in his open mouth A slow, burning flame

Her true love’s hair Was as black as the crow His skin was as white as the snow Her true love’s lips were as red as blood And his eyes would not leave hers And she would dance Bare feet on the pebbles of the shoreline To his voice which sounded like a wave of love Like the wind over the waters Like the wind over the waters And now she lives Between her memories and dreams Waiting for the days to pass And his shadow reaches for her still His shadow broken in two And she would dance Bare feet on the pebbles of the shoreline To his voice which sounded like a wave of love Like the wind over the waters Like the wind over the waters “Bring me the one with the hair as a crow And the softest snow-white skin Show me lips as red as blood And I will show you my love”

News came As smoke on the wind Some say Blood is thicker than water But it flows thin for a king Fear came As smoke on the wind Across the plain The Lark and The Raven And a field of iron spears and men She came As smoke on the wind She prayed With all of a mother’s love And The Lark & The Raven embraced

Will you never come away with me? Will you never come away with me? The vanishing scar left in the water By her racing feet, rising into the air Over the dark trees, over the mountains Battle in her heart Will you never come away with me? Will you never come away with me? The day she left he knew not what to make He searched his chest of precious stones and grace And so he crafted the rings of his devotion Battling his heart Will you never come away with me? Will you never come away with me?

Young bones Stooped over old Beneath the flowing of a river She let her tears fall Let her tears fall Kneeling In the bronze light Beneath the flowing of a river She let her tears fall Let her tears fall And when She raised the flint Just like the flowing of a river She let her tears fall Let her tears fall And every river in the land Went on roaring to the sea Let her tears fall Let her tears fall
12.
Of all things most desired By every gentle hear The one gem more preferred To all the jewels in the world Is to endure the sway Of no foreign ruler But to submit To the power of one’s own nation The hereditary power Of one’s own nation
