on this mountain peak, in full armor i stand
looking at the sun set, hoping to see your silhouette
off with my helm, i listen for your cry on the wind
another step to the sun, i drop my shield
i raise my hand to shade my eyes, hoping to catch a glimpse
another step, i lay down my sword
i cup my ears, straining to hear your cry
another step, i take off my gauntlets
wiping my brow, wiping the tears
another step, i drop my breast plate
my heart, pounding in my chest
another step, i fall to my knees
i hold my arms high, before i collapse
at the last moment, you fly over the ridge
as i start to fall, you catch me with your claws
higher we soar, off into the distance
i awake by a fire, curled up against your scales
your heart beats, slow and strong
my body aches, broken from the battle
finally we are together, finally we are free
