Iiris – Unicorn lyrics

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

All that I could hear was

“Hello back
We’ll take you among us
But the seeds of mercy
Will travel no more”
Hello back
We’ll take you among us
But the seeds of mercy
Will travel no more"

They’ll travel no more

So I went into the dark shadow realm
All the shadows playing right beneath my eyes
And I searched for the face I knew oh so well
(It was out of sight)
Until I stumbled on it’s eyes of red and white

All that I could hear was…

“Hello back
We’ll take you among us
But the seeds of mercy
Will travel no more
Hello back
We’ll take you among us
But the seeds of mercy
Will travel no more”

So I looked at him and I asked him why
“Why did you have to leave me in half?”
And he answered me
With a cold, low voice of my own
“It was you who drove me to grow apart”

As blank knowledge
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…
