Ode to the Light

Feel the Cold
And Draw your blade
And know that you've come home,
The bitter chill
Of love and of Kill
A Silent torch you carry on.

Harness the Wind,
Away to the Night
Sing to your Sadness
An Ode to the Light

Curious, they judge you
And whisper as you pass
Regardless of your noble deeds,
Your best intentions have fled you
your mistakes no matter how few
Will bring you to your knees.

But you Harness the Fire
Away to the Fight
Sing to the Sadness
An Ode to the Light

Cloaked now in Silence
Your thoughts are your own
And no one can ever understand,
What it takes to carry
The burden, the weight so very
it would crush any other man.

But think of the Times
In camaraderie you grasped
each other as brothers and with love,
Try not to think
the end's on the brink
And will find you crying out to heaven above.

So Scream at the Wind
and Scream at the Night
Scream to your Madness
An Ode to the Light

And one day they'll find you
Old, and not long for this earth
They'll say how you walked the good path,
A week of this Shit and all
of the blood and tears that won't fall
They know nothing of heartbreak and damn sure not wrath.

But with Sword held high,
You do what is right
Even though you wish it weren't so,
Because of how you failed
That ship has done sailed
Now your brother's blood reddens the snow.

And the tears will flow
Because of what brought us to this
Two brothers on opposite sides,
You'll push love away
And never be okay
And the sadness breaks against you in tides.

So, Piss on the Wind
And piss on my Heart
I don't have the will to Fight,
Pour me a drink
And please release me
From my private Ode to the Night.

A Blade in my gut,
A blade in my hand
Any blade that's within sight
Shove it right in
Maybe I'll feel something then
Why did you Run to the Night?
Why did you Sing to the Night?
Oh brother, Why must I follow the Light?
