Avrigus - The Grail

Should I follow my heart to the ends of the Earth
Would I find, in time, what a life of truth is worth?
Embracing emptiness
Embracing loneliness
Forsaking the fortress in a quest for the Holy Grail

In shadows deep I fold my wings
And let my dreams decide my fate
For all things come to those who wait
Who wait in wings
Who wait in faith
Who let their dreams decide their fate
Never fearing the departure of light
Ever journeying on through the night
Ever nearer
Ever dearer
The sacred mysteries

So weary, so weary
Then I find myself lost inside a maze
And I ask, "Is this where I'll end my days?"
Just then the heavens open...

Straight rains upon my way
A thousand secrets glow
Like candles in the glistening snow
They guide me on to higher ground
I spread my wings upon the sound
Of children's laughter; lifts my spirits
Beyond the realm of restless wraiths
Of hungry ghosts, who test my faith
Who paint their tinselled tombs
By day and night with gilded gloom

Sweet Mercy takes my hand, and
Leads me to the promised land, where
Sweet Fortune fills my cup to overflowing

Skies of violet
Eyes of love reflecting firelight
I seize the day
I seize the stars, the moon, the velvet night

A moment lost, I now have found
In time with thee
In rhyme with thee
