The Light At The End Of The World
Lyricist:Craighan Andrew, Jackson Adrian T, Stainthorpe Aaron
Small, a speck in the wide blue sea 'Tis the last of all the land A dweller upon our lonesome isle The last lonely man
On weary night, under stars He'd often lay and gaze Up towards the moon and stars The sun's dying haze
Time and again, Orion's light Filled our man with joy And within the belt, he'd see his love Remembering her voice
Such is life upon the isle Of torment and woe One day good, one day bad And some days, even hope
The light at the end of the world Burns bright for mile and mile Yet tends the man its golden glow In misery all the while
For fifty years he stands and waits Atop the light, alone Looking down upon his isle The gods have made his home
A deity felt sympathy And threw our man a light Your woman, you may see again For a single night
‽I'll tend the light, for one more night With the woman whom I love†Screamed the man, with tearful eyes To the deity above
And so it was that very night His lover did return Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com To his arms and to their bed Together they did turn
In deepest love and lust for life Entwined they did fall Lost within each other's arms They danced
Her hair long and black The dark beauty of her eyes Olive skin and warm embrace Her memory never dies
Agony like none before Was suffered by our man Anger, raged and misery too Like nothing ever before
His sacrifice was not so great He insists upon the world Again he would crime, again he would pay For one moment with the girl
Long was the night filled with love For them the world was done Awoke he did to brightest light His woman and life had gone
To his feet he leap to the sea He looked to the lighthouse on the stone The price is paid and from now on He lives forever alone
Fifty years have passed since then And not a soul has he seen But his woman lives with him still In every single dream
'Tis sad to hear how young love has died To know that, alone, someone has cried But memories are ours to keep To live them again in our sleep
