Aeric's Search for Power

In a desert village under skies of blue Where whispers of magic like winds blew I felt a stirring deep within my soul Yearning for power beyond my control In shadows embrace I claim my might Bound to a voice in the depths of night Through flames and fear Ill boldly dare Ill rise above Ill find my power there With borrowed knowledge I sought to ascend But shadows emerged my fears to amend Visions of horror from past or to come In flames the book my folly undone In shadows embrace I claim my might Bound to a voice in the depths of night Through flames and fear Ill boldly dare Ill rise above Ill find my power there Ill find my power for me with torches ablaze I flee into darkness through moonlit maze My path uncertain my future unclear But the voice within me I cannot fear Priests and elders in their futile quest To banish the darkness to give me rest But the voice grew stronger its whispers profound Guiding me to secrets buried underground As they come Guiding me to secrets buried underground As they come
