The Dawn Of The Second Day

This is the final part of epic (if I do say so myself) five song cycle that makes up The Traveller Among The Lost (the previous four parts, and an explanation of sorts, are all below). This is basically a concluding part, although it leaves it a bit ambiguously, the point of it is that no story is ever over completely, even if it looks that way. It was originally called The New Beginning, but I "borrowed" the new title from the computer game The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I'm really pleased with the story as a whole. I think I've said everything I wanted to say in it without it being too explicit as to what its about, and without it being properly resolved until the end.

This is also the last song I wrote in 2006, and it seems like the perfect place to end that year. Also, at the time of writing, the third to most recent song I've completed (although I've finally started writing again, got a new song in the works which will hopefully be done soon)

Comments are welcome, as always

The Dawn Of The Second Day - December 2006

Rebellion, the time to fight back
Is now

It can't go on like this
This evil can't exist
There is no Nemesis
It's me that's doing this

The monster is in my own mind
My Nemesis must die
Turn its eyes in a new direction
And for the first time
I see
The eagle of the south
The wolf of the north
Never came to be
And though I'm looking from afar
I see the Nemesis
And the fire
For what they really are
And what they really were
Was just me, and her

Release the eagle, and allow it to soar
Stand by the fire, but let it burn bright and free
Supress the Nemesis deep inside for ever more
A constant battle, but as for me ...

The question remains, has this story ended the same way?
Do I finish as the Lone Wolf that I was just yesterday?
Or do I end re-moulded by the passion of the flames?

But then I hear a voice whisper that my questions are in vain
I hear a voice call me by a new name

And then the truth comes to me, as though spoken by the wind
It says "This is not the ending"

"This is where it all begins"
