thy music stirr'd
the lonely soul of me
thy music stirr'd the lonely soul of me
gently plucking my heart with each lute string
softly now, whispered notes once made me see
...
wandering lone, lost upon stormy sea
troubadour of old, whence learn'd thee to sing?
thy music stirr'd the lonely soul of me
...
my warrior’s heart prov'd hard 'fore I met thee
death's shadow lurks, yet to life still I cling,
softly now, whispered notes once made me see
...
both mate and foe, cruelly scatter'd like scree,
return'd home alone, friends I fail'd to bring
thy music stirred the lonely soul of me
...
so cold, their fallen faces won't let me be
my brother's specters, still midnight chimes ring,
softly now, whispered notes once made me see
...
till I close my eyes and no longer be
memory sundered by death's welcome sting,
thy music stirred the lonely soul of me
softly now, whispered notes once made me see
