Your faint lantern guides my creed
With the canter of my steed
There's a thousand bows between
But my blade won't be sheathed
[Won't be sheathed]

Take it to heart I'd be
Blithe to hold the world
To you

Take it to heart light a
Candleflame to
All my virtue

Cold air on my neck
And a poison on my breath
Caught in a spider's web
You're holding me again like that
But this time

I'm bleeding out it's diluted with you
I'm bleeding out it's diluted with you

Bolt tearing my vest
And an arrow in my leg
You've made a safe distance now
But I can grant you one more bit
Of respite

A voice sings in my head
As I relax the strength I've left
Heaving out my last breath
I hold my weight up on the hilt to watch your
Figure vanish into the setting sun

Hold me again
Tell me I won't die like that

Hold me again
Tell me I won't die like that

Take it to heart I'd be
Blithe to hold the world
To you

Take it to heart light a
Candleflame to
All my virtue

Take it to heart I'd be
Blithe to hold the world
To you

Take it to heart light a
Candleflame to
All my virtue
