Digory's Regret

Lights from a spell that were meant for destruction
Words tasted bitterly sweet on my tongue
Polly warned me, but I wanted freedom
Even then I knew just what I'd done

No one says it but Mother is dying
No one says it but we're all afraid
I can hear what they say in the hallway
Whispering on the number of days

Now a Genesis newly Corrupted
Now a Story to start with a Fall
All because I could never keep quite
Just a tongue that brings ruin to all

Wait I hear a voice that is singing a song I've never know before
The very cord awakes and praises its Maker
As the earth is formed

Wait I see there in a Lion's eyes tears much greater than my own
Could it be
That he possesses a greater love than I've ever owned

Nothing I've done
Loses your love and I don't know why
But I'll sing your song
I'll sing your song till the day I die
