He was a trickster like a fox.
His soul was lost like a raven.
She had affection and desired love.
But underneath there was a monster
and with his own will he became slave.
Saving faith takes more than a healer.
--
But there was steel in the eyes of the healer
and she found a faith with the fox
and in his mind he was still a slave
Still lost were his thoughts, those as a raven
and so he willed himself to become a monster
though his foe didn't hate him - but love.
--
And oh, it was a courageous love!
One that was as a disease incurable for a healer -
to save his life he became a monster.
He pitted his wits like a wild fox
and was swift like a flying raven
to stop his brother from becoming a slave.
--
But hatred became his master and he its slave
and too late he despised those who saw him with love.
He is more deprived then a raven.
Because the soft affections of a healer
turned into an unbending love for a fox
who she saw was anything but a monster.
--
For how could the sun be a monster
once she knew only to his village and to hope he was a slave?
He is nothing but a clever and witty fox
who became powerful and succeeds for the sake of love.
And beside him stands a steel-eyed healer
who one loved a boy with the eyes of a raven.
--
But still today can he be freed like a raven?
Or unleashed into the world is he instead a monster?
He spurned she who would one day be a healer
and to his own desires he became a slave.
For now she stands alongside a love
who was once just a silly and tricky fox.
--
Caged is the raven he is but a slave.
The way to save a monster is simply love.
And sometimes a healer will love a fox.
