Child of Wind and Shade
Bit introspective there, John... and also pretty distracted. Also, sort of out of date considering what actually happens (that I've seen.) Meh. It was fun to write.
I wander the land as a stranger
Watching the smog cross the sky
Watching for signs of some danger
As salamanders pass me by...
I wander the land filled with wonder
And hear all the salamanders' cries
And watch as each fresh peal of thunder
Surprises the bright fireflies...
I'm the child of the Land of Wind and Shade
With storm and breeze in my soul
This land is my home 'til a new one is made
But here is where I'll find my role
I wander the land on playful gales
And follow blue Skaia's flight
As the salamanders all chase their tails
And dance in the endless night...
I wander the land as the hero I'll be
The Heir to this twighlit land's Breath
Slayer of Typheus, skimming the sea
And the storm will uplift me 'til death...
I'm the child of the Land of Wind and Shade...
It's been so long and I was so sure I'd always been here
It's been so long I truly thought that I belonged
It's been so long I had forgotten what I once held dear
It's been so long that I forgot how we were wronged...
I wander new lands as the rightful heir
And search for the final gate
This bloodshed seems too much to bear
I pray I'm not too late...
I wander a land with a firefly-lit glen
In the universe I have made
And remember how it was so simple back then
In the Land of Wind and Shade...
Did we ever live anywhere but Wind and Shade?
