Siege By Flight

Flap your wings and go ahead Don’t give up & don’t turn back I’ve gone with you, shown and led This is for what I’ve been bred Now it’s come & I shan’t lack In mind, in wing, or in back Ne’er been closer to my life been shed Lyhgo-Hoyshu waits my come But already I am numb He sits high in his castle We fly on, bright as pastel It’s rising out of the mist So high it cannot be missed Ne’er been closer to my life been shed I land at his wooden door You land with me, with your friends Above me, I see him soar He strikes down and I have bled Soon I know it’ll be the end My claws flash out, sharp to rend Ne’er been closer to my life been shed As he dies I know my fault I’d thought too fast, scared to halt My chance was up, we were gone I look at you, you my son We both know what I have done He was great and I had none Now I know my life has been shed.
