run, old shadow - aether and ink lyrics

[verse 1]
under the frozen aurora sigh
he roamed through the grave of the year’s last breath
snow on his muzzle, the weight of storms
each step, a vow he made to death
once he had run with the thunder’s kin
their howls would shake in the iron moon
now, just the echo of ghost replied, fading away too soon…

[pre*chorus]
the wind still calls his ancient name…
a sound that cuts through bone and flame…

[chorus]
run, old shadow!
run through the endless white!
run till your breath becomes the night!
run till the stars forgеt your face!
run till the ice еrases your trace!
run, old shadow!
run and remember her eyes!
run through the blood of the silver skies!
run, though your heart is breaking apart!
run, though your world forgot how to start!

[verse 2]
he once had a mate by the river’s bend
her fur was dusk, and her gaze was kind
together they hunted the trembling dawn
together, they left no dream behind
but men came singing their fire songs
and thunder leapt from their hands of steel
the forest burned while the mountains wept
and love was something he’d no longer feel
[pre*chorus]
he still can taste her name in rain…
he still can’t wash away that pain…

[chorus]
cry, old wanderer, cry to the barren plain!
cry till your voice dissolves in pain!
cry till your heart forgets her scent!
cry till the stars no longer relent!
cry, old wanderer
cry to the ashen stone!
cry for the pack you’ve left alone!
cry, though your tears have frozen through!
cry for the world is done with you!

[verse 3]
he found her bones beneath the thaw
the spring had dressed her in moss and gold
he lay beside her and whispered truth… that only the dying dare be told
no gods were there to bless the wild
no spirits came to ease his cry
just the long, slow ache of time itself
watching a legend die…

[pre*chorus]
he howled until the dawn gave in…
and felt the end crawl through his skin…
[chorus]
sleep, old dreamer, sleep in the silver rain!
sleep till the world forgets your pain!
sleep where her shadow keeps you near!
sleep where the dark can’t reach your fear!
sleep, old dreamer
sleep and don’t return!
sleep as the northern candles burn!
sleep till the silence takes your name!
sleep till the frost becomes your flame!

[verse 4]
now every winter, the hunters claim
they hear a song on the mountain spine
a single voice through the storm’s long throat
a sorrow older than any shrine
they say his ghost still guards the ridge
where moonlight bleeds through silver pine
and those who listen can almost hear… two hearts still trying to align

[pre*chorus]
the stars still bow where love once stood…
and snow remembers all it could…

[chorus]
run, lost spirit, run where the echoes call!
run till the night forgets it all!
run, through the years that never end!
run through the dark that will not bend
run lost spirit!
run through the aching sky!
run till the gods still question why!
run till you find her face once more!
run till the dawn unlocks that door!
[verse 5]
he runs! he runs!
he runs through the river of years!
through frost and flame; through the salt of tears!

he runs!
he runs, though his heart is torn!
through every dusk where dreams are born!
he runs where silence learned to sing!
he runs where broken angels cling!

he runs!
he runs and he calls her name!
again, and again, and again; the same!

he runs!
he runs through the curtain of light!
through shadows deep as the endless night!

he runs!
he runs though the stars decay!
he runs because love won’t fade away!

he runs!
he runs till the world is gone!

he runs!
he runs till the dawn moves on!
he runs!
he runs forever and near!

[outro]
and every winter we still hear…
