The Glen

The dawn is near,
I've traveled far,
I counted every shining star,
In the sky...
From the glen.
Over the hill,
The sun does come;
It shines upon,
Me as I run,
Far away...
From this place,
Down in the glen.
Across the moor,
The wind does blow;
It hits my face,
Cold as snow,
In the valley,
Deep in winter,
In the glen.
My heart has room,
For one more love,
Grey as a stone,
White as a dove,
With those eyes,
Those deep green eyes,
Like the glen.
I've lived my life,
So long and full,
But now I feel,
Death's cold pull,
Coming from,
That cruel, cruel place,
Called the glen.
The battle's here,
With bloodshed much,
Gleaming claws slash,
Just out of touch,
From my pelt...
Black and silver,
From the glen.
I must stand for,
What I want,
Freedom yes,
And no more taunts,
Just because...
I'm from,
From the glen.
My feeling's gone,
The worst will come,
I look back,
To where I'm shunned,
In that place...
That terrible place,
Near the glen.
I feel the love,
Of those so dear,
Off of my heart,
It seems to shear,
Those sad words...
That you said,
Down in the glen.
The end is near,
As evening comes,
I stand up straight,
I mean no fun,
To the end...
I will fight,
Down in the glen.
The glen's the place,
Where I was born,
A rugged figure; I was shorn,
In a grove...
In a place,
Called the glen.
The figure lay,
In moonlight still;
It died right there,
Where it fell,
On the ground...
Deep in battle,
In the glen.
