BROKEN WINGS 2 PART ONE

Lyrics

I gaze upon my love;
Coal Black skin
But a heart so white
That beats within.
I see his
Furrowed brow
And know the king
Holds his thoughts now.
Wetzlar, my love
You must not fear!
The King's must know
Your conscience is clear.
You had no choice!
Pity could not stay
Your hand nor should
You look to run away.

Rugen, my dove,
You cannot know
The intricacies of court,
The price of that blow.
I went against the
King's command
Now his word alone decrees
I shall not stand.

Then we must flee,
We will not part;
Alone you shall not go,
You have my heart!
Together we are
Twice as strong
But we must leave here,
For now, we don't belong.

Take only coat,
We travel light,
We'll hide in the day
And walk at night.
But be aware, the
Unseelie roam
Abroad, we must take care,
We must find a home.
All tracks must be destroyed,
No footprint must be left.
All the comforts you call yours?
Of them you'll be bereft.
This road will be hard,
You need not flee.
Unseelie and the king alike
Search only for me.

No, my love, not you alone,
I will not sit at ease
While my heart, my mind,
My soul must flee.
I cannot lose a love like this!
Where you go, I will follow
And forbid me not, for that
Would be a bitter pill to swallow.

Then, quickly, let us go.
I have kin to the West
And North, but which one
Will receive us as guests?
Rugen, my love, I'll let
You choose our road ahead;
My ways are known in court,
They'll know the steps I tread.

Then neither is my choice.
The king will search there first.
We'll head South, my kin are there
And the king they often curse.
They are many days hence,
Through Seelie sovereign state.
We need not fear Titania's folk,
Their friendship's bound in fait.
No further thought
But one - escape
From the place of violence
And almost rape.
The night was chill,
The moon was bright.
A perfect time to
Start our flight.
