Bond of Devotion

The northern passage opens
And lights it’s way to me
Winter lays the chain around
The wrist of breathing landscape
In this I’ll rest forever
For all the things I’ve done
Three blades in martyr’s chest
So she can stay here longer

No wish I had was for the wrong one
No wish I had was for this belief they preach

Moonlight fills her eyes
As I kiss her goodbye
Cherish her lovely gaze
Sweeping over my teary face
But no pain I can borrow
And torn apart we’ll cry
I can’t give up this bond
Within my last breath in a sigh

Every fond wish I had was for you
Every fond wish I had was for us being free

All that I had
All the love I gave
It won’t be a part of me anymore
All this devotion
I have found in you
Will be gone, taken away
Oh, why can’t I remain here?

I’m weaved in this wreath
My sacrifice is for you
Please forgive my heart
It was yours for all this time
The spell of yours
Cannot keep me from dying
Ostracized I can’t outrun
And cruel are the ones claiming deadened charity

Every fond wish I had was for you
Every fond wish I had was for us to be free

All that I had
All the love I gave
It won’t be a part of me anymore
All this devotion
I have found in you
Will be gone, taken away
Oh, why can’t I remain here?

Reach out for the stars
Strangle the chimes
Play the song for the guardians of freedom
And bury me in the chain of winter
When I lose this battle

I’ll be running away
Searching the hidden path
May the coldness take my life before

I hold her tight and the starlight shines
On her, on me, and we weep in our arms
No silence can bear such hopeless longing
No cry can hold so much despair

Reflection in her eyes warms my weary heart
May this be the last time
They take the brightest treasure
Tear the strongest bond apart

I kiss her goodbye
