The Sound of a Glinting Blade Lyrics by Xanthochroid

Of Erthe and Axen: Act I

2017

I heard the Forest sing
Songs of my youth
I’d never felt such pain before
You held my hand that day
You were my Sun before the dawn
The darkened morning I have loved so long
I don’t recall that day
And I never thought of you when I cried
You know the place
And I never wondered why
Where memory sleeps and secrets hide
You left so suddenly
Silence fills this place
Naught but a memory of your embrace
You, servile and sweet
Soft as the sediment beneath our feet
Far beyond the trees
We roamed
Yet, now, I plead:
Recall the plans we made
Dreams once so bold
The jealous Sun stood still and cold
What now has time revealed?
A tepid pool of youth misspent
A faded tapestry of dreams undreamt
Strange, how you recount
Wanton days, blissful nights
Strange, as it seems
There was suffering
And pain you never knew
How could you?
Do not welcome Death
He offers no peace
For even in death
We will know the pains
We have left behind
Far beyond the trees
I long to be
A deeper stream
Free from
Flows endlessly
Your incessant dream
Toward my dream
