mercedes lackey - the colddrake lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
young vanyel once awakened from a dream of death and fear:
if he should choose to be a mage, his doom would then draw near
a future filled with suffering was all that he could see
and so he made a choice to leave k’treva vale and flee

into the winter’s bitter cold he hurried on that day
his mind was numbed and chilled and he could scarcely find his way
when pondering his haste+made choice he thought then to return
but a magic cry for mercy made his frozen spirit burn

[refrain]
silver and amethyst, the colddrake hunts for prey
its glowing eyes can hypnotize and steal your soul away

[verse 2]
he caught the cry of magic then and followed it where it led
and all the while a helpless anguish echoed in his head
he came upon a holding in a sheltered forest vale
destroyed in ruthless fury by a monster cold and pale

a woman and her children huddled near the colddrake’s maw
her husband lay in shreds beneath an unforgiving claw
the beast entranced her victims neither looking left nor right;
she knew full well the peasants had no way to run or fight
[refrain]
silver and amethyst, the colddrake hunts for prey
its glowing eyes can hypnotize and steal your soul away

[verse 3]
then suddenly a man stepped forth, a pitchfork in his hand
as if alone he’d face the beast, and bravely take a stand
though old and frail, he could not bear to watch his kinfolk die
he was the only chance they had, and he was bound to try

the old man thrust his weapon deep into the colddrake’s side
he knew his life was forfeit and there was nowhere to hide
as vanyel watched, the monster k!lled the farmer where he stood
distraction broke the calling as the old man knew it would

[refrain]
silver and amethyst, the colddrake hunts for prey
its glowing eyes can hypnotize and steal your soul away

[verse 4]
from hiding then did vanyel spring, rage forcing his attack
he shielded all the peasants and he forced the monster back
with magic drawn from hidden nodes, he flung the colddrake high
and watched its broken body plummet from the winter sky

the courage of the simple folk can move a man to tears
or give him strength to face a foe and conquer all his fears
so vanyel made a choice that day he never would regret;
a farmer taught a lesson that the mage could not forget
[refrain]
silver and amethyst, the colddrake hunts for prey
its glowing eyes can hypnotize and steal your soul away

silver and cardinal lay on the snow that day
for young vanyel unfroze his spell and chose the mage’s way
