Guardian's Hope

Far deep in the forests, alone each night
A lone pure voice lifts its sorrow to the sky
The pale shadow of the Sun's golden flight
Silver light illuminates her soft cry
Gentle heart shattering at such a sight

He lifts the crestfallen moon to his chest
A smile on her lips, her eyes shone with tears
New was he, so different from the rest
She dropped her guard, relinquished al her fears
How brilliant hope burned deep within her breast 

If but one soul showed such nobility, 
She would arise, take up her bow and blade,
And would defend with her ability.
Until last breath, lest her debt go unpaid.
