The Song of the Winter Skies is one of the Bard Songs in Enderal. It tells the story of a woman who died grieving her husband, who died in a war.

Lyrics

Hundred men they were
As they set out to fight
For their country's banner in distant, foreign lands
He bid her farewell
A love still young and green
She thought she'd soon be in his arms again

He told her:"Await my safe return.
Trust in this last promise and stand firm
Once moonlight shines red onto the seas
We shall return in victory."

They marched off, blue banners in the sky
And teardrops were running from her eyes
Yet she thought: "If only I believe,
Time will bring him safely back to me."

When the red moon casts its light
His ghost travels through the night
Through the forests on wind's wings
Until he reaches the old hill
There she kneels before his grave
Where their love had once been born
And he caresses her face
Yet she feels not his embrace
Dark and red glows the winter sky
Two souls divided by the threads of time

Days turned into weeks
Moon for moon passed by
Yet no word from the battlefields arrived

Months turned into years
Peace now ruled the lands
Empty graves were dug under the sky

But never did she doubt his last oath
Each night she stepped out into the cold
She walked through the forest, climbed the hill
Where she had once sworn her love for him

And always, when summer bid goodbye
And moonlight blood-red fell from the sky
His ghost raised from dust-forgotten bones
Searching for what he had lost too soon

When the red moon casts its light
His ghost travels through the night
Through the forests on wind's wings
Until he reaches the old hill
There she kneels before his grave
Where their love had once been born
And he caresses her face
Yet she feels not his embrace
Dark and red glows the winter sky
Two souls divided by the threads of time

[Voice Bridge]

Decades had gone by; her hair ashen and thin
Realms had fallen, war and dead forgotten
When she walked the streets, they said that she was damned
A victim to a past long gone and rotten

Yet still she did not care for their words
When night came she prayed for his return
Each fall, when cold winds haunted the lands
She hoped to once again hold his hand

And as her last sunset drew close by
She lingered forgotten in the night
The moon's light shines bright upon her face
She's waiting as her life fades away

When the red moon casts its light
His ghost travels through the night
Through the forests on wind's wings
Until he reaches the old hill
There she kneels before his grave
Where their love had once been born
And as she closes her eyes
A ray of light breaks through the sky
And her skin turns into dust
As her soul breaks from its shell
And she joins him in the sky:
Two shapes now freed from grief and time
Then the winds take them away
Through the woods, it's trees asway
And she takes him by his hand
At last, in peace they find their end
Dark and red glows the winter sky
Two souls divided by the threads of time

Dark and red glowed the winter sky
Two souls united by the threads of time
