Fire and Air

Here I am once again, at the crossroads

Paths before me lain
Demons alongside slain
What hope is there for a lonely girl
On a quest for a single pearl

I stand before you, unashamed
The beasts of my mind tamed
A kind of peace
Finally released

These crossroads, I have been here before somewhere, somehow
These beaten tracks know me too well
Through the fire and molten rock
I have arrived here, now I stop

Where will they lead me, where will I go
There's no sure way I can ever know
Is my fairytale on the other side
Or just more monsters where they confide

I am not at your mercy just yet
I am stronger now lest you forget
You cannot take me by force, I am air
You cannot touch me unless I want, this I swear

I will decide before the sun is out
Then stride forth without doubt
But now I wait
And wait
And wait
