Hawk Brother - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Old memories are unfaithful things; they bind the strongest will

The frightened boy I used to be comes back to haunt me still

It's hard to be born different, a stranger in your home

To know that you may always have to face the world alone

Oh, Hawk Brother, steadfast friend

Cast your song upon the wind

With your sure and healing hand

Draw the magic of the land

A boy who plays with magic powers brings danger home to dwell

He does not have the discipline to tame his errant spell

I killed my faithless lover in a moment's blinding pain

Then sought to take my own life so I'd never kill again

Oh, Hawk Brother, steadfast friend

Cast your song upon the wind

With your sure and healing hand

Draw the magic of the land

A passing Herald found me then, still bleeding, almost dead

A friend of hers soon healed my wounds and eased away my dread

In that silent vale of green, my old self passed away

And in his place a man was born, the mage you see today

Oh, Hawk Brother, steadfast friend

Cast your song upon the wind

With your sure and healing hand

Draw the magic of the land

Seek magic for the comforting it brings the weak and poor

What hate destroys with bitter power, a healer may restore

I know the lore of darkness; it has touched my deepest heart

But love can build a haven and give hope a place to start

Oh, Hawk Brother, steadfast friend

Cast your song upon the wind

With your sure and healing hand

Draw the magic of the land

With your wise and gentle hand

Teach me so I understand
