The Keepers Of The Sky

Freddegredde


At dawn
She wanders through the woodlands
Summoned by prophecy
Shadows appearing
And voices are nearing

Hush
The hunters and the kingsman
Have captured two beasts of fire
She hurries in freeing
One innocent being

Born of light
Destined to find
The wyvern of the wind
Forever entwined
A moment’s doubt
But inside her eyes
He sees the fire
They take to the sky

Rise again
Another waits in chains
Full of despair
Another waits
To feel the air

At last
The castle looms before them
A shade of the midnight sky
Stay in the shadow
And out of the star glow

Rush
To conjure a diversion
There is no more time to waste
Breaking the stone wall
And into the nightfall

Born of light
Destined to find
The keepers of the sky
Forever entwined
Side by side
Together they soar
Above the clouds
They make for the shore

Free again
A way to start anew
And breathe the sky
So let us fly
To newfound heights

A snap, an arrow takes flight
The kingman's returned to fight
The girl is struck and falls from the sky
The wyvern dives for her from up high

The kingsman reaches for his quiver again
Just one more shot, and it’ll be the end

But to his surprise, the dragon won’t fight
The bow drops soft at his side
The beast won't kill, he starts to realize
As the blindfold falls from his eyes

The child of light
A blind sacrifice
The keepers of the sky
Were worthy the price
A moment’s grief
But inside her eyes
Returns the fire
Again she will rise

Born of light
The keepers of the sky
