Watching you die
In his arms, right there
It wasn't fair
The blood, the love
The oldest friend
There at the end
Went through so much
And only now
Would you allow
A gentle touch
To keep you sane
Against the pain
It took a lot
To change your mind
For you to find
The hardest truth:
Yourself the cause
The Kraken's jaws
When you admitted
You were wrong
And you belong
(Although you couldn't
Say aloud
You were too proud
We understood
The hand you dealt
Your change was felt)
You switched your path
And thus was born
New Unicorn
No sooner found
That life's a rose
Away it flows
Now some might say
You paid the price
For your past vice
But lesson learnt
Your life cut short
And all for naught
I heard you say
"I want to go"
But I don't know
If that were true
Or if you tried
To calm the tide
Of grief that washed
Across us all
Who saw you fall
But we need you
So either way
This oath I'll say:
I'll ask Sea Witch
If he can tell
A magic spell
To bring you back
From where you've gone
However long
The witch transformed
Into a bird
(That's what I heard)
To find his help
I will not rest!
An epic quest
To all the gulls
Upon the sea
I'll make my plea:
My friend now lies
Beneath the sand
I need a hand
To raise him up
Return his soul
Make body whole
(If possible
I humbly beg
Return his leg!
Though if that part
Won't be your will
We'll have him still)
I'll be the Prince
To his Snow White
Our future bright
And with a kiss
I'll breathe new zest
Into his breast
Return his ring
Which we did save
Upon his grave
I'll smile to hear
His grumpy swears
Pollute the airs
Be overjoyed
That he's aboard
Swinging his sword
And off we'll go
A-sailing yet
Into the sunset.
