She Was Returned

It has been many years since his daughter was lost If he could bring her back he would at all costs Ever since that day he has wandered and roamed Turned his back on his family and their loving home His life on the road left him disheveled and broke When he thinks back to the past it leaves him in choke Another day on his lonesome travels A stranger he meets and their discussions unravel This old man he has met all mysterious and dark Told him of times going back as far as the Ark Tales of the Templar's and Merlin the Magician After hearing the mans story he began to begin "I lost my daughter a number of years ago She drowned whilst on holiday under a still water flow I couldn't comprehend the loss of her life The pressure of living, I left my home and my wife" "What would you do if your girl could be returned Have you ever wondered if fate could be unearned If this was possible, would you offer your life For your daughter to return to her mother your wife" "Remember, many years have passed her death by For her past to be relived, there is a reply Knights of the ages will descend from their dark They will then strike you down, as you begin your embark" "My life I have not lived for many a year For me to lose mine, I gladly volunteer I will die happy for all eternity Knowing my daughter will grow old, as it should be" The old man chants a script of the past Of an ancient time when fate was cast The power of they to be able to reverse To balance their return, they have to reimburse "Midnight skies will turn to purple cobalt blues Six Templar Knights will stand and surround you At your request they will strike you down On the sixth stroke, you will face your death gown" "A light will appear of which you'll travel through But before you do, a young girl runs to you Your daughter, in pink and red will run from the light She'll run through your soul, as your sleep starts tonight" The old mysterious man continues on his way As he passes a house on a hot Summers day In the garden there sits, a daughter and mother Discussing the loss of her father, as they begin to recover She tells of the day whilst on holiday years ago My husband your father, lost under a still water flow As we comprehend the loss of his life Leaving behind his daughter and wife .
