Fly To The Light lyrics

Nick was a golden child 
Loved by a Muse 
With many more talents 
Than one man could use 
But perched on his shoulder 
With talons in bone 
Was a raven of sorrow 
As heavy as stone 

Try as he might 
The cold weight of that bird 
Held him in bondage 
And coloured each word 
And though his gaze traveled 
As high as the stars 
The bleak touch of talons 
Became prison bars 

The call of the music 
Was strong in his soul 
He shot toward the heavens 
His eyes on his goal 
But heroes get weary, 
And heartache is strong 
And few men can conquer 
The raven's dark song 

He fell in a slumber 
And into the earth 
The root of a fruit tree 
Of infinite worth 
And thirty years after 
It blossomed and bore 
A fruit that is nectar 
From skin to the core 

The raven of sorrow 
Is feeding tonight 
On a branch of that fruit tree 
And dreaming of flight 
But bound to the branches 
In sorrow it sings 
And the soul of that fruit tree 
Has stolen it's wings 

Chorus: Look to the stars 
Fly to the light 
Leave the dark raven 
Alone in the night 
Soar with your Muses 
On shining black wings 
Away from the places 
Where sorrow still sings
