Song

You begin to sing "Silverlock", a song by Rowan.

"I have crossed this bridge once before,

Where the riddle-lake lay by the star-fallen moor

The villagers saw me, and measured me plain

And now Silverlock is my name."

"I remember the wheel of the stars

The view from the hills as I watched from afar.

The glimmer of dawn on the land I'd behold

As sunshine gilded my hair to scarlet and gold

"And bronzed my skin in rich folds."

"But the memory is ashen and gray

As the memory of my hair, now faded and fey

And somewhere I hear him, still laughing away,

The One who led me furthest astray --

"And they say Silverlock is my name."

"I remember the Dance through the trees,

Laughing with him as I fell to my knees

In Idon's Fae ring far from best known of tracks

I danced in his circle and I _never_ looked back

"And paid full his price with unease."

"For my mind it is heavy with lore

When I woke from his singing I was Human no more

Somewhere betwixt mortal and Fae

With a brand of black stars in the palms of my hands

"And his laughter wrapping...like bands."

"But the memory is ashen and gray

As the memory of my hair, now faded and fey

And somewhere I hear him, still laughing away,

The One who led me furthest astray --

"And they say Silverlock is my name."

"A traveler now is my trade

Gone is the joy of my childhood days

From starlight to daylight, lands without end

I walk them in silence as my journey I wend

"And I never stay very long."

"I remember I tried to go back

Finding my home's hills faded and black

And the stars had all fallen, gone one by one

Dear gods -- please tell me -- how long was I gone?

"Pray mother's tears did not run too long."

"For the memory -- it's fading away

Like the memory of the girl, led too far astray

With only stars on her palm, to light her dark way

She looks very young, but her hair is so gray --

"And I'm told Silverlock is my name."

The song fades away into silence.
