I don't know but I heard it sung First one fell and he died too young Mad king closed in a heart of stone Broke his crown and he died alone Dark man's voice goes low and high Old folk say the face is new Hush now baby, don't you cry The eyes of the dragon are upon you I don't know but the people tell This one walks in a wicked spell Gave too much for a liar's throne Sits there now and he sits alone Dark man's touch is cruel and light Dark man does as he will do Ah, but hush now baby, don't you cry The eyes of the dragon are upon you. I don't know but the whispers told Next in line has a heart of gold Dream good dreams the whole night through The world is wide and it waits for you Dark man listens all the time But your dreams are free and your dreams are true Hush now baby, don't you cry The eyes of the dragon are upon you. The eyes of the dragon are upon you.

"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." Don’t say I lost the battle On the day I lay my weapons down I made this peace with my own hands I take it with me to the ground And I laugh because I know That when he finds you in the end You see that Death is not a stranger He's an old, old friend. Death is not a stranger He's the brother at your back The striking hawk, the wolf that runs Beside you when the moon is black So follow close, and follow fast Gone is gone and past is past Right here and now, and nothing else remains And the horn is the only refrain Don’t grieve that I have fallen When the hour has grown late I will rise and give my greetings To the bringer of my fate And I stand because I know That when she finds me in the end I’ll see that Death is not a stranger She’s an old, old friend Death is not the robber She's the shepherd in the night Standing in the clearing Keeping everything in sight See her there and see her well And take her hand and let her tell you All you fear and all you long to know Then take up your banner and go See the roses in the ruins, see the endless singing sky Hold steady to the faithful heart That's not afraid to die Set your sight on the fields of the blood of the ages And reap every seed you have sown Hear your enemy cry for the face of his father And remember the face of your own. Death is not a stranger Just the last long ride you make To some new world when this old world Has taken all the worlds can take Or else into the silent dream Of shadow-light along the Beam To watch and rest and rise to watch again I will seek for that grace I will welcome its embrace And I’ll see you, I’ll see you, my friend

Voices 03:21
When I worry I have nothing new to say I go and ask the ocean with her everchanging song and she says oh, my daughter-- do it anyway. I have listened just a while I have sung so very long But when you sing with me it’s something I have never heard before the ringing of the rocks around the waves upon the shore There is a voice that wakes the water in your veins And brings to life all breathing things It shifts and shapes, it moves and makes, it bends and breaks And takes its place here Forevermore When I fear that I am drifting in the dark I look out to the stars, alone and shining distantly And they say oh, my darling, hold on to your spark what you touch is changed forever though you may not always see But from the highest places, all your hidden colors show The fire in your eyes will set the universe aglow There is a brightness that surrounds you like the dawn And it goes on and on and on And love creates the light that takes a human shape Its ways to wander Itself to know.
