The king in a foreign land had built his childrens nest throughout the years and wars we shared the scars and swords Slaughtered was our home though blood bonds still were strong wed become the light beyond the veil of stars I stared at her gaze and saw my childrens face that night I swore in joy my thoughts would be for her A fortnight in your bed was heaven brought to earth the wounds that paint our skin had quelled our hopes within Look beyond your eyes what else is to be done? Will you save the world? Or will you save yourself? Refrain from living blind and jump into the unknown the times that pass you by are not meant to return I looked at my queen and saw my childrens dreams with no time for relief I stood and left my realm I grabbed my handmade pouch with memories once forlorn their cries made me look back like stabwounds through my spine Look beyond your eyes... I woke up old and stale and saw my childrens grave by now my eyes are dry so I must say goodbye I will not cry for you cause that would hurt us both youll always be with me after this one last breath
