I Tell a Tale
In the brink of melancholy and despair
Mother gave birth to a pair
A short moment of felicity went aglow
Only to be stomped on and given to the crow
The infant girl taken by hateful guards,
Her brother was left, his life in scattered shards
I tell a tale of these unfortunate siblings
And of the suffering, loss and a creature's stirrings
Deep, deep, far underground
Where light and warmth could not be found
All feelings were left to decay and melt
All emotions were left unfelt
Unknown to the world above,
Unknown to joy, disappointment and love
A lone girl bravely stood awaiting her fate
Singing imperviously as of the late
A song for the sun, a song for the rain,
A song seeking freedom and full of pain
To a large, terrifying, mythical beast
Who dines on humans, feast after feast
It was only she who can pacify his hunger
Through series of melodies to protect the world and prevent plunder
Underneath the blinding, cerulean sky,
Below birds that soar, flying high
Lies a place full of grief, anger and sorrow
In the edge of an artificial paradise, engulfed by shadow
A young man searched far and wide
Seeking a lost voice imprinted in his mind
His wish, seemingly unable to reach ecstasy
Becomes barely possible, wavers and suffering in agony
Not hesitating to get hurt and to lose his might,
He stands up, lifts his head and fights
With his hands, he has to make sure
That the voice, deep in his heart, stays pure
With the past history buried and forgotten,
And happiness and mirth regrettably trodden,
Determination to rescue her gives him strength
He will parry with the beast at any length
Brother and sister encounter light but it leads to darkness
Until everyone and everything reaches the state of stillness
He takes the life of the winged, muscled creature
And even destroys the artificial paradise and its nature
With gloom and hatred destroyed, abandoned and finally ignored,
Lives go back and return to what it was before
The only exception was the lack of depression
In its place was an abundance of jubilation
The wish had reached the everlasting paradise,
Elation, enlightenment, and enjoyment rise
Brother and sister are together once more,
To tell this tale, a continuous lore
