The Wind Through Griffin’s Gate
[Verse 1] In the dawnlight of the valley, where the feathered shadows fall, Stands a farm by Griffin’s Gate with its ivy-covered wall. There a quiet, steadfast stallion once tilled the soil each day, Till the whispers of the mountain winds carried him away. [Chorus (Motif)] And the wind through Griffin’s Gate still calls his name, A lonely echo in the night, a half-remembered flame. Though the stars above keep secrets no mortal heart can claim, Still the wind through Griffin’s Gate cries out his name. [Verse 2] He was gentle in his manner, shy of glory, soft of tone, Yet he bore the weight of seasons far too heavy for one alone. With his friends—brave Tyler, Mist, and kind Kelaini by his side— He found laughter, he found purpose, till the fateful turning tide. [Chorus] And the wind through Griffin’s Gate still calls his name, A lonely echo in the night, a half-remembered flame. Though the stars above keep secrets no mortal heart can claim, Still the wind through Griffin’s Gate cries out his name. [Verse 3] For he loved a mare of darkness—Sylvaan, with the emerald eyes, Who had walked the deepest caverns where the ancient thunder lies. But the night grew cold and bitter, and the moon began to wane, Now he wanders through the silence with no memory of her name. [Chorus] And the wind through Griffin’s Gate still calls his name, A lonely echo in the night, a half-remembered flame. Though the stars above keep secrets no mortal heart can claim, Still the wind through Griffin’s Gate cries out his name. [Verse 4] Some say shadows of the moonlight brushed his thoughts and stole them deep, That a silver-crowned enchantress wove his memories into sleep. And she sends a hidden seeker down the starlit forest trail, To return him to the daylight, though the truth stays veiled and pale. [Chorus] And the wind through Griffin’s Gate still calls his name, A lonely echo in the night, a half-remembered flame. Though the stars above keep secrets no mortal heart can claim, Still the wind through Griffin’s Gate cries out his name. [Verse 5 (Dark & Hopeful)] And the moon keeps watch in silence where the broken memories lie, While a shadow on the roadside hums a tune he can’t deny. Yet beyond the frost and sorrow, where the first spring flowers grow, There’s a path unseen, still waiting… for the one who does not know. [Final Chorus (soft, lingering)] And the wind through Griffin’s Gate still calls his name, A lonely echo in the night, a half-remembered flame. Though the stars above keep secrets no mortal heart can claim, Still the wind through Griffin’s Gate… whispers his name.
