Guided by the Moon tonight
Across a frozen path
Strides a fearful spirit
Running from the past
Deep inside the dark wood
Where roots are veiled in ice
They fall and find upon them
Two eerie bright eyes
"Tell me, troubled young soul
What is it that you fear?
I watch over this forest
None shall hurt you here
Did you come across the dead
That roam around the bog?
Did you wake the wicked troll
Or breathe the deadly fog?"
Will my garden settle you
Or will you follow your flight?
Darkness looks like haven
When fiends hide in plain sight
Let the dawn light scatter 'round
And spread the robin's tune
May this glade be home and hearth
For the children of the Moon
"There's no dragon, wraith or curse
No monster that I woke
For it was someone close to me
The reason I donned my cloak
Twas my father I ran from
I'm afraid to tell
Made my life so miserable
He does not wish me well"
"How can that be possible?
How can it be true?
A parent must protect their child
He should've cared for you
Did you seek your mother's aid?
What about your god's?
Surely the righteous city knights
Would chase a man so flawed"
Will my garden settle you
Or will you follow your flight?
Darkness looks like haven
When fiends hide in plain sight
Let the dawn light scatter 'round
And spread the robin's tune
May this glade be home and hearth
For the children of the Moon
"Mother weeps and stays aside
She does not dare to speak
Her laughter once a sunny storm
Turned to sigh so bleak
Father's a respected man
He's the mayor and the priest
There's no guards I could go to
For they would turn on me
He said 'If you run I will find you
I'll spread the word, there's nowhere to hide
I'm a friend of each honourable man
From here to the end of known land'
Will you help me?"
"A cursed evil coward snake
Is enough to grieve
But having nowhere you could go
That I don't forgive
May the night fall upon him
And those who take his side
My roots will crawl beneath their beds
And spread a rotten blight"
Will my garden settle you
Or will you follow your flight?
Darkness looks like haven
When fiends hide in plain sight
Let the dawn light scatter 'round
And spread the robin's tune
May this glade be home and hearth
For the children of the Moon
