Timedancer
(Tune: Julia Ecklar, "Tin Soldier")

Gold Phoenix
Blue fire
Whispered words around the sisters three
One instant
One lifetime
They know what I must be
Last hellish hope of time's salvation
The winner takes it all
Timedancer, bound by power of Fate
Timedancer, bound to hold the Gate
I'm the Timedancer, guardian of the fire
A destiny I never got to choose --
I've nothing left to lose.

Past flickers
To future
Space station turns to ancient Rome
So tired
So lonely
Just want to get back home
Do I now understand the traitor,
So many years alone?
Timedancer, bound by power of Fate
Timedancer, bound to hold the Gate
I'm the Timedancer, guardian of the fire
A destiny I never got to choose --
I've nothing left to lose.

My single
Companion
Bright swordblade who beside me goes
Fierce fighter
Fierce lover
Our child within her grows
To leave her now would rend my heart, but
To stay could cost her life
Timedancer, bound by power of Fate
Timedancer, bound to hold the Gate
I'm the Timedancer, prisoner of the fire
A destiny that now I have to choose...
Never had so much to lose.
