Now you are finally sleeping
And I pray that you're at peace
That your fevered plots lay silent
That your schemes and snares have ceased
And I pray that you'll forgive me
For the things I had to do
To save this world, Pyrrhia
I have to say goodbye to you
You will stay asleep forever
With this bracelet on your arm
When the mountain falls around you
You will slumber safe from harm
When the rocks begin to tremble
And the earth becomes your tomb
I will fly away forever
I will fly away from you
I'll fly away, I'll fly away
Away from your schemes
Away from your threats and your rage
Away from the promises
That you made me
Of the life we'd live one day
Now those promises are broken
Like the bodies where they lay
There is no one left to save now
So it's time to fly away
You have been my fate, Darkstalker
We were bound by destiny
And our path we'd walk together
Like an ancient prophecy
But the crown you held before me
Is now stained with blood so blue
I won't be your queen of darkness
So I'll fly away from you
I'll fly away, I'll fly away
Away from the bloodshed
Away from the pain
Away from your scrolls and snares
And enchantments
That you thought you'd hid away
But your secrets are exposed now
In the glaring light of day
And my NightWing heart is broken
So it's time to fly away
I studied the scrolls
And I walked all the paths
In my mind, long before you'd arrived
And I saw all the births
And I saw all the deaths
And the futures
In which we both thrived
But some of the paths led to darkness
Broken kingdoms where no one survived
I thought if I knew I could save us
By the moons, if you knew how I tried!
I thought we'd be NightWing saviors
The bringers of mercy and peace
But power corrupts, absolutely
And your hunger for more never ceased
I thought my love could save us
And the knowledge of what's next to come
But the path has disappeared now
And I must go on alone
Don't you see what you have cost us?
You must reap what you have sown
Was it worth your mate and offspring?
Was it all about the throne?
I'll fly away, I'll fly away
Away from the night and
The close of the day
Away from the evenings walked together
Shadowhunter, and Eclipse
And our third one's name was Fierceclaws
Now they will never exist
How I wish I'd seen their faces
In their eggs on hatching day
Now I'll never get to hold them
So it's time to fly away
How our tapestry's unraveled
Only one thread still remains
Now the ocean lies before me
And my path is cold and lonely
I loved you and loved you only
Now it's time to fly away
