Amongst the ruins in this deep residing cave

Steps forth a being, who is freed from his chains

He looks up skyward at the early morning sky

The blackened canvas greets his blinded eyes

He feels a power, long-gone now returned

And with a deep breath, feels desire burn

The hopeless aeons have scattered like a dream

The night winds blowing, calling from the east

The titan rising, but his bones are still weak

He has no strength, and cannot wander far

He lurks in shadow and hides from the stars

There lies a presence, that fills him with fear

He senses daylight is growing ever near

He bides his time, ’til tomorrow’s duskfall

When the sun has gone

Watching for the presence of the morning star

Falling, when it is but the only one

Watching for the glow of the morning light

Hiding when the dawn breaks the night

Watching from the cracks in the dark below

Scanning all the stars in the sky

Watching for the glow of the solar fires

Hiding, in the safety of the dark

The bright son of dawn

Will herald the new day

The other dim stars

Will fade with the coming of the light

The golden braids of the dawn light

Will give all away

These deeds of the night

Must not be known

The morning stars lowers

To the ends of the sky

He precedes his mother

And ends the dark night

He shines but the brightest

His light burns so far

A long night now over

Rest morning star

The fires of sunlight

Will drain what is left

Of the titan’s life-force

And render his end

“Oh wanderer you’ve helped me

What I tell you is truth

My past deeds I have paid for

In silence and agony

Go look for yourself

At the sky turning soon

The embers of daylight, they burn

There are those who would seek to

Have me chained for aeons more

I pose no real danger

I am weak, old and frail

Don’t give into their deceitful words

What they promise is not true

They will trick thee, may your tongue be kept still”

The morning stars lowers

To the ends of the sky

He precedes his mother

And ends the dark night

He shines but the brightest

His light burns so far

A long night now over

Rest morning star

The fires of sunlight

Will drain what is left

Of the titan’s life-force

And render his doomed end

The bright son of dawn

Will herald the new day

The other dim stars

Will fade with the coming of the light

The golden braids of the dawn light

Will give all away

These deeds of the night

Must not be known

Dawn-bringer
