The Dark One

They say you are evil
Though I see no harm
They say you are dark
Though I see hidden light
Aflame, pure still
You mean no evil, I see
You aren’t like others
It’s clear
But others don’t feel
Your soul so deep
They never understand a motive
Of theme you sing
Your song is far beyond their belief

Heart of firstborn light beats still
Within your chest, I feel
And still I see no evil
Deep within you’re pure, all alight
Soul of flame and snow and eternal night

Upon the shore of dreams I see
Greatest of all fourteen
You fly on silver-and-white wings
Upon the blessed land singing the snow
Cover the flowers and dales with white
Where memories flow
With the real entwined
