Heather Alexander - The Golden Ring lyrics

Gather round, my friends, to me Advice I have for you It stems from my experience And I swear that it is true We're all meant for adventure, There's paths where we must go In light of my last journey, There are some things You need to know All of us are tempted, All of us will fail The trick is learning right from wrong, And letting good prevail We all can have the power now Of Darkness to command, But what could happen to your soul If you wield that Upon your hand CHORUS: For it's easy to be careless, Easy not to think Easy just to vanish in a blink, Denouncing your reality Such a simple thing A harmless habit, much as putting on A golden ring You wear it closely to your heart As if from a heavy chain It shreds the soul to many a part And you're never quite the same Don't ever heed its beck and call, Its hatred and its ire For if you love this world at all Return it to It's forging fire Now you've listened to my thoughts, Pray keep them in your mind Someday it might seem easier To be cruel or unkind Remember some of what I've said For when the moment's through Of danger done by darkness, The bearer then Might well be you
