"Lesser Son" lyrics

"Lesser Son"

They pass like rain, cutting deep into the mountain
Parting green seas like waves in the meadow
A shadow from the east
Hides behind the hills of my home
Where is the horse and the rider
The wind that blows away the fire

I am the lesser son of great fathers
Free from worming tongues
I am the fallen one
Come to seize my fate
Am I enough

Am I enough
The lesser son
How far will my light reach when I'm gone
Fall unto me, we'll sow the ground with the weak
Beneath our fathers' trees unyielding
Take what you want
Just leave me beneath our father trees

The end is closer now
Dappled light reaching down from the clouds and tinted by leaves
When I take my leave
How far will my light reach, and will I see
How good the world can be
Will there be no suffering

How far will my light reach
How far will my light reach
How far will my light reach
How far will my light reach

Blood feels weak when my fate runs so deep
It's an honour to be the lesser son
Unbowed
Unbroken
Go forth and fear no darkness
Ride now
When I take my leave, how far will my light reach

I go to my fathers
They call my name
I am no longer ashamed
