about

The last year or two, I've really been digging "The Witcher", the whole franchise; games, tv, books...

this song basically summarizes the last chapter or so of the first proper novel, "The Blood of Elves".

lyrics

We know dear child, you are a Source
natural of talent, short of control
your acts in days to come little one
may indeed chart the fate of the world

Your knack for the influence of force
must be tempered with understanding
it's nature cryptic and complex
but key to avoiding gross mishandling

----

Magic, say some, is chaos,
the key to open doors forbidden
doors hiding nightmares, fear and horror
enemies poised to anihillate hidden

fear of a mistake being made
is the bane of those of this mind
unleashed chaos will destroy all
the final undoing of mankind

and those who believe this are right.

-------

Magic, say some, is art
a talent to create tremendous beauty
granted to but a chosen few
spreading splendor their duty

those not able to create this art
recognize without it the world would be poorer
find the blessing of art within themselves
they achieve enlightenment through her

and those who believe this are right.

--------

Magic, say some, is science
requiring discipline study and work
knowledge and learning to push the boundaries
of enlightened minds to earn worth

progress, change, evolution
advancement and raising of bars
these minds say that one day magic
will allow us to reach the stars

and those who believe this are right.

---------
Movement and Change,
Annihilation and Rebirth.
Destined and destiny
----------


will you be an agent of progress?
birth art, inspire captivate?
or will be an ally of chaos
Sand in the gears of the Clock of Fate?


magic extends its hand toward you
child of destiny, elder blood
upon your dreams so much does depend
your choices will shape the things to come

Will shape, shape all things to come
will shape, shape all things to come
