nuerra - i fell asleep lyrics

Loading...

as dusk falls isaac spots a light
a lantern+lit cabin cuts through the night
through the window, quite a gripping sight
begs him to observe before he indicts

with a smile and a tear on his face
sloan removes the contents of his case
a little girl standing as still as a stone
her outstretched arm holds a blade of its own

sloan throws it aside and releases his spell
he looks relieved, but he doesn’t look well
ellie comes to+ her dad holds her tight
and says “it worked! you’ll be alright!”

isaac learns what had drained sloan’s magic supply
he’d kept ellie frozen, and now isaac sees why
when sloan asked who would help, bristol became a mute city
his money wouldn’t go far, but reward fares better than pity

he promised the grand soul, knowing ellie needed it more
he did the only thing he could to see his child restored
and it seems that everything went exactly as he planned
the binding blade that laid silver to waste was in ellie’s hand

“you’re going to be sick for about seven days
but then the worst will pass, and you’ll be okay”
she says she’ll be fine as long as he’s there too
“i wish that i could stay, but it’s something i can’t do”
she asks if she can come “i’m sorry ellie, but no
i have to go somewhere no child should ever go”
“will you see mom there?” this idea wasn’t new
“i really hope not+ i’d rather her find you”

sloan says he’s sleepy now+ he needs to lie down
ellie lies with him+ says she wants to hear “the sound”
she lies her head on her father’s chest
she says that when she’s sad his heart helps her to rest

“your uncle” says sloan “will take care of you
he may be poor, but he’ll do all he can do”
ellie asks her dad when he will come back
“i don’t think there’s anyone who can answer that”

sloan tells her he loves her, as he strokes her hair
“i always will, even when i can’t be there”
ellie returns the phrase+ her little voice quivers
sloan smiles through his pain and his shivers

a few minutes pass with the weight of days
isaac hates what he sees, but he can’t break his gaze
ellie lifts her head and looks back down, distressed
“the sound” has faded from her father’s chest

sloan was d+mned and bound
to leave the earth a shattered man
but he departs with a smile
knowing he’s done all that he can
isaac hears footsteps in the distance
a man resembling sloan draws near
isaac leaves gifts at the door
all of sloan’s money and some extra gear

the saga over, isaac’s trek home begins
he doesn’t entertain a single thought of might+have+been
of course he ponders the web that fate has spun
but he never forgets that what’s done is done

those that he wears proudly for all to see
are tokens that represent victories
but those unseen or sung most surely are
the very deepest of his scars
