Riddle Song, by thndrhwk Subscribe to rss feed for thndrhwk

I heard in the winds that far off
In the gray lands
There lives a princess who's curse
Keeps her weaving
As she sits in towers and watches
Time pass her by.
Wise she is, and while waiting
For the one who will save her,
If indeed there is someone
Who dares love against love,
She'll sing you a riddle
In which all is revealed.

Lyr a-liddle lay
As clouds float through my music
And fly away.
Lyr a-liddle lee
I dare not trust you but
Please don't leave me.
Lyr a-liddle lah
In riddles I've no choice but to
Sing this song
All moment long...

So, full of wonder, I quested
Uncertain but sure
That through these windows the mountains
Could grow past all limits
Of sky and I'd climb just as high
As I tried.
Rain parched my lips beyond saving
While desert sun burned at my freezing,
For all sides are represented
To those facing the whole world,
Until in the shadows
Winds granted the way.

Lyr a-liddle lye
In contradictions and beauty
And darkness and I
Lyr a-liddle lee
Live seeds that to me now
Mean everything.
Lyr a-liddle lah
And praying to learn I must
Sing this song
For so long...

And here in this tower beyond
All my knowing
I watch this strange girl as she
Hums her odd song,
As she sits weaving with silver and ice
In the frosty light.
While she breathes life into work
Undone twice, I ask her
My answers that waited these years
Fighting hard against harder
She looks from her work and she
Smiles.

Lyr a-liddle lee
Are you wrong or right and why
Do you ask me?
Lyr a-liddle lah
You can not be normal if
You are human.
Lyr a-liddle lay
Tell me, why must snowflakes all
Fade at the day,
Fade away?
Fade away...

And so I must trust this with you
Or I'm insane
Leaving curses and myst'ries
To princesses half slain
For I've still far to go if I
Am this far.
In this heavyness brought on by
Light of day, solving riddles
Of my own, still waiting
Waiting for what I know
Can not be known.

Lyr a-liddle lay
As clouds float through my music
And fly away.
Lyr a-liddle lee
I dare not trust you but
Please don't leave me.
Lyr a-liddle lah
In riddles I've no choice but to
Sing this song
For far too long
While I'm still strong
Alone I sing on...
