THE SONG OF THE UNICORN


The tales do you no justice and your magic stands alone
No man may control you for your soul remains your own
With hooves and horn of silver and the purest snowy mane
The mountains all should crumble before your heart knows pain
Though mortals may still harm you in your human fleshly form
Your inner self is magic pure - your soul cries Unicorn
My wishes are pathetic and my bitter, bloody tears so lame
To think that I have hurt you causes me no end of pain
Your kind has always danced on aether winds that heal
Your heart is softest velvet yet your soul is strong as steel
Youth turns to you for inspiration when all other hope is past
So you must stay strong for them, for surely you're the last
Though mortals do not know that you are the keeper of the song
All children would feel the pain if the Unicorn were gone
As Unicorn you also wear the wolfen pelt of inky black
And though it may contain just one, you are protected by the pack
I would be your champion, if you'll have me, Lady dear
And no matter where I am - if you need me I am near
So keep your grace and beauty even as you keep your sorrow
And remember you are Unicorn as you dance into tomorrow


THE DANCE GOES ON

There are children slaying children in the darkened city streets
There are people who will rape and kill until their last heartbeat
Man tries to make things right but he soon admits defeat
Yet through it all the dance goes on
Behind a veil of myth is a realm that man forgot
And the children will not find it, unless they all are taught
No one will show the children how to unravel magic's knot
Even so, the dance goes on
All can see the power of the magic silver dance
When the child who is alone feels the sweet sting of romance
And though they fear rejection - still they take the chance
Proof that the dance goes on
When life is going sour and nothing but doom is in sight
And despite its velvet darkness, there's no comfort in the night
Through the worst of times hope is always burning bright
Just because the dance goes on
Where pixies dance and frolic and hold court from flower petal thrones
Where legends all come true - from princely frogs to swords in stones
Where elfin magic is so strong you can feel it in your bones
This is where the dance goes on
Hidden deep inside the lovely shelter of a fleshly human form
The most beautiful of souls surrounded by a raging storm
Herein lies the power man once knew as: Unicorn
Because of her the dance goes on


SILVER HOOVED DANCER

On rainbow bridges and roads of mists so chill
I watch enthralled - inspired by magic romance
Her spins and leaps weave brightest thrills
I'm caught up in her silver-hooved dance
Through a haze of love I see her silhouette
She banishes all thoughts tragic
With faerie dips and pixie pirouettes
She weaves a silver magic
A silver spire betwixt crystal eyes and snowy mane
She mesmerizes my soul into a trance
The beauty of her near drives me insane
I truly miss her silver-hooved dance
Blessed lady and wielder of unknown power
I shall eternally champion your cause
For dark fangs always guard those brightest flowers
'Tis one of the oldest laws
For the wolf must always serve the Unicorn
I pledge my tooth and blood - give me the chance
And I'll see you through the roughest storms
Just to see your silver-hooved dance
Time will surely give surcease to sorrow
And when you have need of me, I'm near
Promise we'll always have one more tomorrow
For losing you is a dreaded fear
Unicorn you are, though your blood still knows the hunt
Your cub-colts must growl as well as prance
I'll teach them the wolf ways if you want
But you must teach them your silver-hooved dance


THE UNICORN'S TRAGEDY

Once her magic faltered, dragged by a human to the altar
And forced into bit and halter - tack and harness for her soul
Rescued by the dark lupine, she left the misery behind
And let her magic start to shine - a mirror of her new control
Spinning round - pulses pound, a bright new love was found
With magic crowned - and loving sounds - what could bring her down
Her alucorn was shining with the new love she was finding
Her tangled mane unwinding - the wolf made her his wife
Pledged to her his blood and claws - despite his deadly flaws
He would not break his vows and laws - to her he pledged his life
Troubles brewed - something new, inside him something grew
What to do - no one knew, the wolf's dark side was shining through
A dragon dark and foul, stole the dark wolf's cheery howl
And changed her whinny to a growl - she tried to save her wolfin man
She had to fight the dragon's storm with her fragile silver horn
So this fair, brave Unicorn prepared to make her final stand
The wolf's rage set the stage - a dread decision made
The card played turned the page for the son of Silvermage
He began to lose control of the frenzy in his soul
It began to take its toll - and the Unicorn felt pain
As his rage began to burn, he knew things must take a turn
He must leave to fight the wyrm before it drove him quite insane
So in the dead of night he sought to make things right, though it drove him mad with fright
Thought tears stole his sight he saw the Unicorn so bright and it gave him strength to fight
Now her life has changed and though she tries to fight the pain
The dragon's poison fouls her veins - but the Unicorn is strong
And though her soul knows icy fire and she has lost her heart's desire
She has the love of elves and wolves and vampire - and they'll help her sing her song
