letra de haunt me still - lyra vesperi

i fixed the miller’s broken wheel and mended up the gate
i stopped the thief who tried to steal the chalice and the blade
i lay my hands upon the sick to drive the fever out
the village says i’m righteous, a hero devout
i walk the streets with armor shining, symbol of the grace
but i am looking desperately to find a single face

i felt a touch upon my keep, a finger light as air
i spun around to catch the shape, but nothing standing there
i asked thе priest if i am mad, if grief has turned my mind
hе says the dead stay in the dark and leave the world behind
but i can hear your footsteps fall in rhythm with my own
a ghost that will not let me walk this heavy path alone

they offer me a crown of gold, a seat upon the throne
but i would trade it all away to hear your living tone

so, raise the tankard
spill the wine
the road is long, the weather’s fine
i swing the hammer
hold the line

to keep the promise that was mine
i cannot see you through the mist
the phantom lips i haven’t kissed
but walk beside me, haunt me still
and guide me up the highest hill
the baker’s daughter brought me bread with flour on her dress
she has a smile to wake the dead, i want, i must confess
she touched my arm and offered me a place beside her fire
a chance to leave the lonely road and bury my desire
a normal life, a simple bed, a morning without pain
to wash away the memories inside the summer rain

i looked at her and shook my head, i could not tell a lie
i cannot love another soul until the day i die
i took my blade and went to hunt the ogre in the cave
i let him strike my iron shield, i didn’t want to save
i crave the rush, the danger’s bite, the edge of mortal fear
because when i am close to death is when you feel so near

the adrenaline is just a spark
to burn the tears away
i fight the monsters in the dark
to face another day

so, raise the tankard
spill the wine
the road is long, the weather’s fine

i swing the hammer
hold the line
to keep the promise that was mine
i cannot see you through the mist
the phantom lips i haven’t kissed
but walk beside me, haunt me still
and guide me up the highest hill

i polish up the silver crest before the candlelight
i whisper to the empty room to bid my love goodnight
i swear i hear a gentle voice that says, “i am so proud”
or maybe it is just the wind that whistles in the shroud
i feel a warmth against my back a hand upon my chest
a phantom comfort helping me to find a little rest

i don’t care if it’s madness dear, i don’t care if it’s wrong
i’ll carry you inside my heart exactly where you belong
i’ll be the shield for everyone, the savior of the town
so you can see the man i am and never look on down

i fight the war for love alone, a soldier’s silent creed
until my spirit finally breaks and i am truly freed
the silence is the enemy, the battle is the friend
i’ll keep on walking with my ghost until the very end

so, raise the tankard
spill the wine
the road is long, the weather’s fine
i swing the hammer
hold the line
to keep the promise that was mine

i cannot see you through the mist
the phantom lips i haven’t kissed
but walk beside me, haunt me still
and guide me up the highest hill

haunt me still
