By: Pterota Written for a friend, Magnus Within the shade of ribboned leaves When the glimmer of dusk begins to fade And darkness sings a prayer of death I'll find you resting here Beside the river of ice and fire A raven, you're washed ashore I'll break these chains around your soul And leave a ribbon of dark moonlight Release the thorns of a bleeding rose It takes more stength to cry, begin again To soar on wings of beauty There's still hope yet Cascading stars fall in your eyes When I catch these tears of sorrow I'll lead you down the path ahead For I'll teach your heart to sing
