melody: no melody

lyrics inspired by the original: -

language: English 


Be not afraid, the words followed him

He - the star's guide -, his sword he holds firm

Praying to the sky, the heavens perfect blue

for then as he sighs, knowing well his truth


Warrior, they yell, warrior live high!

Warrior, he fell, warrior will lie.


And piece by piece,

and thread by thread,

and drip by drip he lost his head

in lies and lies,

in fear and fear,

and more and more he had to bear.


Be never weak, his cut open smile,

call him a freak, for him in denial

prayers sent to hell, one, two, lost his wings

the demons up to tell, with panicked summonings


Broken one, they yell, broken one fight on!

Broken one, he fell, broken darkness' son.


And piece by piece,

and thread by thread,

and drip by drip he lost his head

in lies and lies,

in fear and fear,

and more and more he had to bear.


Oh cover it all, the one staying told

"I will catch your fall, your storm weather hold"

The chosen demon took his protégé away

And soon or later, look: a devil in dismay


Protégé, they begged, giving air his lungs

Protégé, they checked, peacefully succumbs.


And tear by tear,

and yell by yell,

Society found out as well;

and wound by wound

and fight by fight:

All left of star's guide is the night.


One of the story-telling songs.
