The Lightbearers Will

So there you are, my promised queen
At last the prophecy's fulfilled
And I so wanted you to come
For you alone I fought, I killed
I'm glad you are, what I have dreamed of
You're everything you have to be.
A foul taste in my mouth remains,
Because you have no faith in me...in me.

Your enemies will find out quickly,
There's a queen behind that girl
Even a blind man sees your power
Like the luster of a pearl
Now show me, queen of whom the bards sing

How we should have won that war
Without our weapons being pulled
Without the blood, the wound, the scar....the scar.

Refrain:
And the autumn smells like leaving
I sense winter on its chill
A narrow path leads us to destiny
May our fate be the Lightbearer's will.

Did you ever care to wonder
If I want to live that life
With not a single friend beside me
Always travel. Not arrive.
No, be sure, I didn't choose it
I was chosen chosen and I bend
My whole self to Illior's will
And my life is in his hand...till the end.

From my childhood I was sure
Illior would light my way
And if no-one would be with me
Even then my light would stay.
Please forgive me, for I really
Thought you would be strong enough
To face your fate; for you're the saviour,
Sent by our guardian from above...serve with love.

Refrain:
And the autumn smells like leaving
I sense winter on its chill
A stony road leads to your destiny
May your fate be the Lightbearer's will.

Bridge:
Do you really dare to think
Your load is heavier than mine?
My name's already forgotten,
Now the queen does rise and shine.
I don't pity, who I am
Nor all the joys, I've been denied
I just beg you: face your burden
And then carry it with pride!

Refrain:
And the autumn smells like leaving
I sense winter on its chill
A lonely road leads to my destiny
May my fate be the Lightbearer's will.
