Windmane

I roamed too far with heavy burden

Darkness swallowed the road behind me

Light ahead faded, I stumbled down

Only to loose my heart and give in

I took a tin bell from my treasure-pouch

Summoned the one blacker than night

Fire and calm in its eyes

Its mane was flying its fire and spirit

Rider, messenger

Hurry, go like the wind

On the misty meadows of spring

On the parched roads of summer

On the chequered paths of autumn

On winter's snowy trails

Its mind the tongue of burning flame

Swiftly carries its heavy burden

Under its hooves stony ground

Touching my heart, its timid strength

Its speed the sister of storm and wind

Its fearsome might it bestows upon me

It takes me home from lands of night

From killing fields it delivers me

Rider, messenger

Hurry, go like the wind

On the misty meadows of spring

On the parched roads of summer

On the chequered paths of autumn

On winter's snowy trails

Rider, messenger

Hurry, go like the wind

On the misty meadows of spring

On the parched roads of summer

On the chequered paths of autumn

On winter's snowy trails

Its mind the tongue of burning flame

Carry me across

Its mind the tongue of burning flame

The lonely lives of night
