PhemieC - Let The Dread Come In lyrics

When I was a child sat upon my mother's knee
By firelight she spoke of rights
And ancient history
And one phrase she repeated though I
Knew not what it meant
"Be safe, da'len, young lethallan
May the dread wolf never catch your scent"

And as I grew I thought I knew
The path my life would take
But when the dream broke open
Only I was left awake
And then you took my hand and taught
Me how to turn the key
I held it, how was I to know
I'd let the wolf catch wind of me?

I took up arms, I lead the
Charge, some called me prophet, blessed
And by my side you guided
Wise and seemingly guileless
But the truth's not always obvious
Not written on the skin
Sometimes to let the truth come out
You have to let the dread come in

You called me "ma vhenan" and showed
Me worlds I'd never known
Lands of mists and memories
Of faded sky and stone
Then with words so soft and sad
You left me in that glen
And though you brought me low I know
I'd let the dread wolf in again

My love has vanished through the veil
So now I'm stark and bare
At night I go to sleep and dream
And hope he'll meet me there
He wandered from the waking world
I know not where he went
But, I'd be with my dread wolf now
If I could only catch his scent
