A pic to one of my fave fantasy authors, Mercedes Lackey. She created this wonderful song, then Heather Alexander sang it. OMG I had a huge problem with the lyrics... I'm sorry if it's too small but I was SO frustrated. But I'll post the whole song anyway. I have no idea what the Kyree looks like so I didn't draw it.
The Firebird knows your anger,
And the Firebird feels your fear.
For your passions will attract her,
And your feelings draw her near.
But hate and fear and fury
Only make her flame and fly
You must rule your heart, magician,
Or by her bright wings you’ll die.
Now the Cold Drake lives in silence
And he feeds on dark despair.
Where the shadows form the bleakest
You will find the Cold Drake there.
For he seeks to chill your spirit
And to lure you down to death
Learn to rule your soul, magician,
Ere you dare the Cold Drake’s breath.
The Gryphon is a proud beast
He’s master of the sky.
And no one can forget the sight
Who has seen a Gryphon fly.
But his will is formed in magic,
And not mortal flesh and bone.
And if you would rule the Gryphon’s will
You must first control your own.
The kyree is a creature
With a soul both old an wise.
You must never seek to fool him
For he sees through all disguise.
If you seek to call a kyree
All your secrets he shall pluck
So be certain you are worthy
Or the kyree will not come.
Your own heart you must conquer
If the Firebird you would call.
You must know the dark within you
Ere you seek the Cold Drake’s heart.
Here is better read, magician,
Than those books upon your shelf.
If you seek to master others
You must master first yourself. |
