Lyrics
ALBA’S SONG
Up upon the mountain at the end of a chain
he paces back and forth
he’ll not answer to his name
His coat falls around him like the snow upon the peaks
his dark eyes do reveal what his voice will never speak
He was meant to be singing with the wind
He was meant to be a guild to brother man
He was meant to be running through the trees
but sometimes he just walking on this land
sometimes he just walking on this land
You can’t really see it, it’s invisible to the eyes
but it’s strong as steel bars, and cleverly disguised
and it all surrounds us like a cage
we are born into this place like prisoners of rage
We were meant to be flying to the moon
we were meant to be high above the clouds
we were meant to be shining like the stars
but sometimes this is just who we are
sometimes this is just who we are
Blood flows over the same old scars
drawing lines around who we are
and when they break open it can cleanse your soul
but only when your willing to really, really let go.
