The Oak and Lady Flame - Vexillum

Quiet on his hill, with his branches in a breeze

An Oak was waving, unaware of his fate

He became the shelter, on a rainy day

For a young wayfarer, who held a flame in a lamp

The young boy ran away and left her alone

Would be her last day at the roots of the Oak

But he spread his strong branch, he built a safe place

The rain didn’t quench her, first sight, face to face

She was shining, Lady Flame, she was shy…

The Oak was not able to stop watching her eyes…

Her warm voice… seems to sing… Let me burn…

LET ME BURN!

I feel a weird will to get out of my light

And embrace your crown, cause you make me safe

LET ME BURN!

It was not expected, it was a surprise

I’m sorry if it happened, but I feel you are mine…

LET ME BURN!

But something was weird

While the great flame went on

He knew she was fading

And she saw he was burnt

They were looking in their eyes

So near, so far away

Coming back in her light

Lady Flame sadly said:

«You're in my heart

And you live in my mind

We just need an embrace, to set us on fire…

Would be great for a while

Our blaze seen for miles

But my heat will burn you

I’m afraid for what we could lose…»

They knew what they were forced to do…

The reason was facing the passions within

The first creating concern and fears

Passions instead, leaves hope and tears…

In this night, silently, please… let me burn…

LET ME BURN!

Let your sparkling eyes watch the world from my arms

Let your flame dance with the wind of the night

LET ME BURN!

I can’t wait for your touch, I can’t wait for your heat

I can’t think to see you and be not able to feel

LET ME… May it be

LET ME… A day far away

LET ME… How we can’t say

LET ME… Oak will embrace in an

LET ME… Unending age

LET ME… Lady flame

LET ME… Again!

LET ME BURN!

Let me burn of your voice, let me burn, I’ve no choice

Let the sound of our flame surrounds all the vale

LET ME BURN!

I don’t mind what tomorrow will bring to us

Until the end in the future, not a thought in the past
