Back to Contests
A Song of Loss (Bury the Light) by Rancoura
Merit for January 2013
Once we walked together, one beneath the wyrden boughs
We whispered behind shadows in the company of crows
We did not ever wonder what lay beyond Glomdoring
The Heart of Darkness was our home, our unwavering abode
We never questioned, never wondered at the gifts we were bestowed
How could we ever desire something more than this?
But I bore a feeling that you might
Believe in the light
Thus I attempted to draw you back
With a prayer to the Night
But you left me behind
Alone at midnight
With only our memories
Thus I'll bury the light
Soon I shall look back
And see who you were
I shall gaze at the past
And bury the light
Once our rites were joined and we watched with solemn eyes
We danced through violet mists and flew through darkened, starless skies
But now you have turned your back on all we were
We swore our sacred oaths to our Regent and our Queen
Spoken from our hearts, the most sincere we could ever mean
But now your honour and your soul are as false as your words
I bore a feeling that you might
Believe in their lies
And despite all my desperate pleas
I lost you to moonlight
You left me behind
Alone at midnight
With only our memories
Thus I'll bury the light
Now I shall look back
And see who you were
I shall gaze at the past
And bury the light
Nothing matters
Nothing matters
Nothing matters but Glomdoring
You do not matter
You do not matter
Nothing matters but Glomdoring
Once we walked together, one beneath the wyrden boughs
We whispered behind shadows in the company of crows
How could we ever desire
Something more than this?
How could you ever desire
Something more than this?
I had a feeling you might
Fall for their lies
I shall bury the light
Bury the light
