I dreamt of a fox I could not reach. It was looking at me with eyes like the stars themselves. I reached out, yet I could not touch it. I felt its calling, that something is wrong… I woke up, shaking… And I was right, something was amiss indeed…
Now let me tell you this tale, of a man who loved:
O there was this lass,
So fa-ar away…
I felt the shattering of glass,
The-re was her fray…
I ran, and ran
to save her…
I fought and fought
but it was not enough for her…
There was this man,
an evil man, full of darkness,
he hurt the lass, who was harmless…
I ran to her, to save her…
But fate was cruel, and so he was…
The girl was weak and gave in to him…
I stole the girl from his paws, and claws,
But she kept crying for him…
I tried to safe her from this evil man. But he broke her already… She was trying to get back to her doom, at all costs… Nothing seemed to help. The men kept hurting her. Wounds of the sword, of the fists healed, but wounds on the soul never truly vanished. He manipulated this broken lass.
I ran to help,
to defend,
to make her safe,
to see her happy.
But she kept going back…
I could not defend…
And my song… My song…
Is going to end bad…
Because this is the song of a man
Who loved and who fought.
After all this is what he sought.
His love for her was proven naught…
Did I ask for much?
I do not know…
All I wanted was a soft touch.
And the kiss in the snow.
She had a beautiful soul, yet she let herself to be hurt… She kept going back, until it was too late for her to come back. I swore an oath to protect her, but what else could I do? I fall in love with her beautiful soul, her eyes, her voice…
The girl ran back,
And I was heart-broken.
There was nothing but black.
And my heart-broken.
When I spoke to the lass, I felt the weights in her voice. I saw her eyes, and what are eyes if not the windows of the soul? And she had one beautiful soul. I wanted to give a shoulder, a helping hand, to carry all this weight. I was damaged just as much as her… But she turned away and left me broken.
I was in love.
This was my only sin.
The man’s grip was too strong on the lass.
And this was not enough to win.
She loved amber…
And she was a fox.
And that was my anchor.
In the long forgotten docks.
A day she asked:
“Would you be my amber?”
My answer was fast:
“And you be my amber?”
That sealed it, bound us…
Together we were happy.
Supposed to be happy…
But she ran back…
That day I lost something special.
The will of life was slipping away.
Because only a broken-heart left within.
And a soul shattered left behind…
I ask, what should I do? But no answer came. Why would it?
I loved my little fox, my lil’ fox, but I could not save her form the hunter of her forest… She fought enough in her life, and deserved the rest. I only pray for her happiness, where or whenever she is.
In my dream,
A fox came.
I was drinking at the stream,
she was burning with a flame.
I gave her my love,
the amber of my soul,
to ease her flames above.
Her soul longed…
We were happy,
And I got a kiss…
I woke up. I was happy, but I knew it was too good to be true…
But it was beautiful. It was beautiful and special because it did not last forever. But I will keep this song in my heart for eternity.
I woke up, because everyone must wake up from the dream… Nothing lasts forever and I need to go on.
