"Cutting Skies From Her Eye (In His Own Words)" lyrics - AVATAR

Owl looked to the surface she'd now call her sky
A ceiling - a lid - cutting skies from her eye
The water was chilling and urged her to slumber
No world to endure, enchant or encumber

Sweet were the dreams on the bed of the moor
Abysmal darkness cleansed visions impure
Owl wished to stay, build a home in obscurity
Get rid of all doubt, sense of fear and insecurity

"Yes", Pike said drearily, "now you can see
That peace comes to her who stops fleeing from me
Rest in the mire and weed, rest assured
You're a victim of living and too much you've endured."

She said "Close your eyes, turn your back on the world
There will be no more fighting for you, little bird
Rest, feathered princess, deep in the lake...
Hidden like treasure - a forgotten mistake."

Wolf had been running intensely like starlight
He knew a few things about fighting and flight
He would have told Owl how he's been outliving
Each challenge life had been giving

But once he slowed down and wanted to see
Where Owl had gone, if she'd managed to flee
He saw he was lonely deep in the dark
So he ran back determined to ignite her spark

He returned to the moor, the Eyes were long gone
"They must have gone hiding, foretelling the dawn"
He searched all around the mysterious meadow
Then deep in the moor he a familiar shadow

Wolf dove into the unhallowed water
For whatever reason he felt he was losing a daughter
He reached the bottom and grabbed on to Owl's wing
And he pulled her back up and said "have you not learned a thing?!"

"Let me go back!", Owl begged her old savior
"I finally found home, with true darkness as neighbor!"
"No!", shouted Wolf, "this is not how it ends!
You will see this through! You'll make your amends!"

"I've got nothing to fight for!", Owl cried in despair
"That doesn't matter!" Wolf said, "You must dare!"
He looked deep down inside her "You are who you are...
A furious queen below the first star"

"You'll fight for much more than you'll ever think
The chain can't be broken and you are that link
More important than all, so embrace your own nature!
Earth has decided your past and your future"
