lirik lagu mercedes lackey - shadow stalker
it was just a week till sovvan, and the nights were turning chill
and the battle turned to stalemate, double~bluff, and feint and drill
when a shadow drifted northward, just a shadow, nothing more
no one noticed that the shadows grew all darker than before
no one noticed while the shadows seemed to creep into the heart
but from then the fight for freedom seemed a fool’s quest from the start
all the hopes that they had cherished seemed unreasoned and naïve
nothing worth the strength to pray for, or to strive for, or believe
and the shadows stole the sunlight from the brightest autumn day
as they sang a song of bleakness that touched every heart that heard
as they whispered words of hopelessness, all courage fled away
and they wove a smothering blanket over all that lived and stirred
herald vanyel came upon them and he sensed a subtle wrong
and there was some magic working; deeply hidden, yes, but strong
and it moved and worked in secret like a poison in the vein
like a poison meant to weaken, this was magic meant to drain
herald vanyel saw the shadows, and they turned their wiles on him;
for one moment even he began to fell his spirit dim
but he saw their secret evil, and he swore ere he was done
he would stalk and slay these shadows, and destroy them one by one
herald vanyel, shadow stalker, hunted shadows to their doom
they turned all their powers upon him, turned away from other men
and although they strove to take him, he unwove their web of gloom
so the shadows fled his anger, their creator sought again
herald vanyel faced the singer who had sung them into life
and she sang to him of grief and loss that cut him like a knife
and she sang to him of self~hate, and she wove a net of pain
with her songs of woe and hopelessness bent to be vanyel’s bane
“so now what is there to strive for?” was the song she sang to him
and the shadow came upon his heart, the world grew gray and dim
but the singer of the shadow did not know the foe she fought
nor how dear he held his duty, nor by what pain power was bought
herald vanyel looked upon her and he saw through her disguise
and she strove then to seduce him into death or madness sweet
herald vanyel looked within him and he saw her songs were lies
and he gathered up his magic then, her powers to defeat
herald vanyel raised his golden voice and sang of life and light
of the first cry of a baby, of the silver stars of night
herald vanyel sang of wisdom, sang of courage, sang of love
of the earth’s sweet soil beneath him, of the vaulting sky above
sang of healing, sang of growing, sang of joy and hope and dreams
and the singer of the shadows felt the death of all her schemes
it was then she tried to flee him, but his song and magic spell
struck her down and held her pinioned and she faltered, and she fell
then the singer of the shadows saw her shadows shatter there
saw her lies unmade before her, saw her darkness turned to day
and how empty and how petty was the spirit then laid bare —
like her shadows then she shattered, and in silence passed away
