Bringing Light (Out Of Nothing At All)

I know I've heard a whisper
And the echo of a cry
I know shadows will hide the answers
And I've seen them in the sky

I know where there are places
Where time passed by it would seem
I know when to walk through the night
And then I know just when to dream

And I know just what may haunt you
And it's deep as ocean blues
I know how to draw you closer
When fate fails and lets you loose

Silently the light is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
We've journeyed through dark places
Where iron walls towered
Our swords unsheathed with a fierce battle cry

And you know the roads to fortress
And you know the ways to gate
You know of the realms that are hidden,
Where to find them and
They always echo tales of their fate

But I don't know where you go to
And to follow through the fall
And I don't know how you do it
Bringing light out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all

Every time I see you, all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky reflects back in
Your eyes like the moonlight

The beating of the drums far away
They race underground like a rhythm of coming doom
But you can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright
The marching is met with equal rhythm and we can't
Turn all of this around without you!

I can help you find your power
I can help you lose your fear
You can say I'm of elf kind
I'm from another time
A traveler who saw time just disappear

I will stand with you forever
I don't want to see the darkness take the dawn
And I have seen the rise of something that seems
Ancient-made and
I can see a shadow falling long

But I'm not sure where each path can lead to
I am between lost and summoned call
And I'm never letting go for what you do
Bringing light out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Bringing light out of nothing at all

  1. As you wrote these lyrics did you know about Q in Aug-Oct 2016? It's a great lyric!

    1. Did not know about Q then. I wrote this in the mode of a ballad about misunderstood leaders, like Thranduil. Or Thorin. But I left it open for any being from one time to another. And the links inside the lyrics were added in just recently to include Q and the like. Future seemed to be proving the past here. A past time to a now time. Who'd have thought? I had no idea where this would go. I can see it forming clearly now.

      It's a Middle Earth & Lord of the Rings theme without being framed in just that world or time alone. In the words I even mention 'I'm from another time' so I suspected this would be something alluding to a future while staying within the realm of the past. Something weird like that.

  2. I'm usually very good at understanding the symbolism in the words you write but what means:

    But I don't know where you go to
    And to follow through the fall

    ?????

    1. No edit feature for comments so I'll reply again. What I mean by following through the fall is my own way of saying that I would stay in the warmer seasons, and I wouldn't follow paths that lead to a season of death, which in myth would be a gateway to go through, die, and then return again in another life. It's a strange line but it's about coming into Autumn and then just jumping over Winter and landing in Spring again. No death.

  3. I know you're not on Voat atm, but I posted this blog's link over there wondering if anyone outside our circle will ever know that there exists this love song for Q...

    1. If I ever recorded this, toward the ending when it just repeats the 'out of nothing at all' it would go from that into 'where we go one, we go all' as the half beats would allow that to mesh with the original line.
