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
