Ex Astris - 28/06/2022 - Glint

To a melody of Nuclear by Mike Oldfield, but honestly, I was struggling to rewrite the lyrics they were just so accurate to the situation.

Standing on the wall of Fort Ettin
Like Aurelia said
My friend's ashes are all cold now
No more arrows and the embers are dead
Whispers in the air tell the tales of the brothers gone
Desolation, devastation
Won another fight, but it all feels wrong

Watching from the edge of the rampart
For the siege to begin
As the heroes gather round
Form their ranks for armageddon

I'm radiant, I'm wild
I'm burning up inside
A heart of molten glass
Defiled
Deep inside
The adventuring child

Standing on the edge of the Astral Sea
Looking at the abyss
And I'm hoping for some miracle
To breakout to escape from all this
Whispers in the air tell the tale
Of a life that's gone
Desolation, devastation
Won another fight, but it all feels wrong

Like fireball, I'm wild
I'm burning up inside
A heart of molten glass
Defiled
Deep inside
The adventuring child

I'm breakable, I'm wild
Disintegrate inside
A heart of molten glass
Defiled
Deep inside
The adventuring child
