As the shadows of the day grew too long
I could see that mine was missing it was gone
And the part of me that kept happiness
Grew so panicked that I could not let it rest

Hello back
We’ll take you among us

Will travel no more

We'll take you among us
But the seeds of mercy
Will travel no more

Sank deep beneath my skin
I knew that the truth
Was breathing in him
And I realized, that of course
I wasn’t a Unicorn
I was just a mere horse

We infused into each other
The shadows in me burned as I learned
Great, great battles are ahead
He said
And we returned
