Wizard or Warlock

With every step I’m guiding you
finding you in hidden glades
sending you up against my enemies
trying you on the blade of time
grab everything you deserve
grab what you own
pull it from the stone
pull it from the stone
the choice is mine!
With every step I’m killing you
Bending you in unseen ways
Sending you amongst the graves
Grinding you on the wheel of trust

The Idiot
03:50
|
|||
He dreams of more than this
nothing is what it seems
He wants more
He wants yours
and when the moon is up
the day finally burnt through
He’ll lay awake scheming
plotting his way to you
I’m the one falling down
too clumsy to stand up
I’m the one falling behind
Invisible and unstable
Waiting to get mine
He hides out in plain sight
The idiot in the crowd
spitting and drooling
raving and ranting
but when the cards are down
and the jig is finally up
he’ll be far away
laughing and counting his money
I’m the one on top
too good to fall
I’m the one in front
indivisible and unbreakable
I finally got mine

What the Wizard Knows
05:46
|
|||
He walks through caves and hidden glades
forges swords with unknown ways
His hands are deft and rarely slip
his eyes are sharp and never miss
And late at night when we all sleep
His eyes are open to things unseen
He captures evil and swallows it
and keeps his people safe from harm
His robes are long to keep him in
he staff is strong to keep us out
but with all the power he holds
nothing can prepare him for what’s to come

Niniane

Your vast kingdom stretches
over the land
just as you told me in our youth
and I’ve followed your every word
as I promised in springs first glow
I gave him his brilliant weapon
and raised the bravest man he’d know
Yet here you stand imploring me
to give you my love and my heart
Do you know, Myrddin,
The secrets of my heart?
and can you see
the path we are on now
Don’t you see, Myrddin
I am not what you want
don’t ask me for
what you know I will never give
So now that I’ve finished my part
and seen your boy rise to the throne
It is your turn to make due
and tell me all I wish to know
Help me open my mind’s third eye
and see the universal truth
Share your closely guarded secrets
let me have this power you wield
Did you know, Myrddin,
that I can see it too
Useless desire
unrequited love
Don’t you see, Myrddin
the only way you’ll win
is to stop the fight
and let yourself lose.

The Madman in the Forest
15:22
|
|||
Two ancient dragons fought
to bury castles in the sand
one rose in the west
one drowned in the mud
He saw everything
he knew what was to come
he knew what had passed
and nothing would ever change
So he watched his tale unfold
and tried to win his losing hand
But losers always lose
while helping others win
Helpless seer of the king
the madman in the forest
can never was his hands
of the things he must do
Useless old dreamer
tired old wizard
what the hell will you do
now that your time has come?
And even though he always
knew she would be beautiful
She would be kind to him
He vowed to look away
But he never knew
how much he would love her
and how little all his
plans would matter after
So of course she did betray
as he always knew she would
but everything is fine
when she’s by his side
