Black Pillars

Wake to the sounds of crows far away
Moonlight shows the trees silent sway
My mind is confused by the frost
Whatever happened to the sun?
When has all of this begun?
Without a doubt I must be lost

Between black pillars
friendly eyes appear
A first sign of hope
Amidst the dark night
Where are you going
O creature of light?
Instinct takes over
My next steps are clear
I follow the owl
Just like an old friend
Mighty silent wings
Will show me the way
I try to keep up
Not to go astray
She might lift my spirit
From this dead end

Further stumbling through this maze
Her wisdom vanished without a trace
My friend where are you now?
All my limbs are scratched by thorns
All around me are just similar forms
I must not stay here do show me how

Between black pillars
Friendly eyes appear
A first sign of hope
Amidst the dark night
where are you going
O creature of light?
Instinct takes over
My next steps are clear
Mighty black panther
I call you my friend
Can you lend your strength
And show me the way
I try to keep up
Not to go astray
Can you carry my soul from this dead end?

I cannot keep pace
She disappears in the mist
Don't leave me behind
Do you really exist?
Your strength is my guidance
I need you here
I keep reminding myself of the good
Dragging myself through these woods
That sound - is that a friend I hear?

Between black pillars
Friendly eyes appear
A first sign of hope
Amidst the dark night
where are you going
O creatures of light?
Instinct takes over
My next steps are clear
A group of rabbits
Each one's my friend
I trust all of them
To show me the way
I try to keep up
Not to go astray
Can I finally
Escape this dead end?

Suddenly there's sun between the leaves ahead
Amongst my nerves hope starts to spread
I run faster and faster, maybe this is the end?
Thank you for being the truest of friends
I break through the opening - my mind in turmoil
glad to finally leave the dark forest soil
I can't help but wonder if I'm really free
I look over my shoulder and finally I see
