My travels lasted not so long before the promise land
Tears, flute and a feather all that's left for me to hold at hand
The sky eluded as I bellow walked
I can only write down rhymes I never will talk
A fragment of myself buried behind with them I left
For I have their lives unwillingly taken with my power's theft
I ponder night and day for what this was meant
No longer can I see the road ahead
The same memories dance around, plaguing me 'till I'm dead
And there I saw a child walking about
Strange clothing I thought they'd never be found
Her short upper wearing dress, revealed a shinning mark of a bird running across her arm
I think the worst for her, the body of the young who's innocence was brought to harm
More tragedies strike my mind from memories that keep me alarmed
I dare not speak, I dare not meet
My powers your life will take, I'm sure, as you I greet

Closer her eyes look a bit weirder, stretched but beautiful unlike what I've ever seen
Our bodies reach closer as looks we exchange on the road we are walking
However we both pause as she takes a good look at me
Realizing true evil in my hands and eyes as she found who I was to be
The pure will always through the evil see
She begins to talk as I struggle to understand
My body freezing as I fail to realize why besides her I stand
The white feather she points at out
Gesturing me to give it to her as I try to walk about
Kind child the same as me walk behind me not anymore
I wish not to hurt you with the same foolish songs I did those like you and me before
Please run away while you still see the shore
From start to finish she follows me
Keeps talking as I fail to understand her sadly
From nowhere my head I jolt to the heavens above
As I hear the girl talking but suddenly I know more
"Lady please give me the feather I need it really bad!"
But this feather I have just gotten days ago and layered it with the friends I once had
Please child run away as I no longer feel safe with what I have
"I really need the feather to save my home from all sorts of monsters!", is what she didn't breathe once again to say
"Please, I know you're from some sort of old time but hear me or look at my gestures!", I ignored her as I walked away
"It's no use, is it? Ah...what would Lin do?", she started behind me mumbling
"I guess I'll follow along to help you since you didn't attack me or I haven't had to fight you for it.", she terrified me by saying
"Do not ever follow a monster if you pray for your safety!", I yelled in the words she would understand
"Wait, so you do understand me? That's great! I will follow you, not a monster, lady.", she kept saying her body putting at risk on the stand
Oh why the gods betrayed me to force such young to die in these lands
I struggle this child the same age to get to go away as I hide my face and her not letting go
Witnessing horrors is the last thing I want her to show
