The Darkness

The voice begins to sing, the melody haunting. The song floats around you, a material object, not just sound. It wants to escape, to let itself be known to a lost friend, but it is obedient and stays with you:


The coldest of ice will be melted
The strongest of stone will break
And into the deepest of shadows
Will be placed the shining light.


From cold the soul shall be sheltered
From darkness the light I shall make
And against the shadow which holds you
I shall win the fight.


I see you, my friend, in your hiding
What you fear I do not yet know
But I promise you though it is difficult
I will defeat the Night.


On courage and Strength I'll be riding
Through hell if I must I shall go
I'll let your true soul free from darkness
And set all the wrong in you right.


The coldest of ice will be melted
The strongest of stone will break
And into the deepest of shadows
Will be placed the shining light.
