about

This was written about a short story of my own creation, and actually started as an excuse to put said short story on the internet. The short story is no longer uploaded anywhere, but that may change in the future. It would be nice to be able to show people the story in question so that I'm not the only one who has any idea what this song is about.

lyrics

I see from my window the forest,
And above, a sky filled with stars.
The moon turns the snow into diamonds,
And I wonder where you are.
It’s been several weeks since I saw you last—
I’m sorry—my babes kept me bound.
But now I am ready to try again, dear,
And pray a way out can be found.

I try to tell myself it will be enough—
There’s nothing to fear in the eyes of a wolf.
This riddle has only one answer I see,
And I pray to the gods that my love will set you free.

The staff all complain of the monster
That carries our livestock away.
They’d never imagine it also
Steals more of my sister each day.
It kills me to know I might lose you
Forever to a horrible fate,
But the steel of that curse was tempered
In the fires of your enemy’s hate.

I try to tell myself it will be enough—
There’s nothing to fear in the eyes of a wolf.
This riddle has only one answer I see,
And I pray to the gods that my love will set you free.

Unless I act soon I’ll go crazy,
And unless I succeed we’re all doomed.
So into the forest I venture,
Led by my heart and the moon.
Come find me now in the nighttime,
Cross now the slumbering land—
And don’t mind the smell of the stranger,
He’s just here to lend us a hand.

I try to tell myself it will be enough—
There’s nothing to fear in the eyes of a wolf.
This riddle has only one answer I see,
And it seems to me now…that his love will set you free.
