Lord Keeper was noble and brave
Strong as an ox, fierce as a bear
He left his home the world to save
Out on the road he had no care
No one could stop or slow him down
Strong as an ox, fierce as a bear
He came first to a busy town
He heard the stories people tell
No one could stop or slow him down
A far off land, a magic bell
A power far beyond his own
He heard the stories people tell
He prayed a way for him be shown
To reach that place, and what was there:
A power far beyond his own
Great hardships he would have to bear
And they would shape him on his way
To reach that place and what was there
So many dangers, night and day
The mountains steep, the weather cold
And they would shape him on his way
All of these things he had been told
All of these things he faced alone
The mountains steep, the weather cold
The wind like knives, the treetops moan
A horror stalking day and night
All of these things he faced alone
The worst of them he could not fight
The Blue Haunt roamed the Valley Low
A horror stalking day and night
He trained his mind, that he might go
To face what minds can't comprehend
The Blue Haunt roamed the Valley Low
An insight let him reach the end
To slip right past the dreadful light
To face what minds can't comprehend
The Blue Haunt wandered left and right
He saw a pattern, seized on it
To slip right past the dreadful light
So it was not by strength but wit
He made his way up to the bell
He saw a pattern, seized on it.
And oh how his proud heart did swell
And oh how confident he seemed
He made his way up to the bell
And as he climbed the steps, he beamed
His hand was raised, his journey done
And oh how confident he seemed
Would he now fly into the sun?
An inch away, the bell was still
His hand was raised, his journey done
He knew his dreams he could fulfill
Had he but moved his hand at all
An inch away, the bell was still
Instead, he let his raised hand fall
And thought of all that could have been
Had he but moved his hand at all
He now knew he could never win
So rested he beside the bell
And thought of all that could have been
A weakened heart, an empty shell,
He could not do what must be done
So rested he beside the bell
He wondered at how far he'd come
He left his home the world to save
He could not do what must be done
Lord Keeper was noble and brave
Strong as an ox, fierce as a bear
He left his home the world to save
