A poem from Aslan's perspective, about his sacrifice.
Because of love
A simple choice, nothing more
For those I love, I will become
Weak and powerless,
Helpless and afraid,
Everything I am not.
Because of love.
They won't understand,
No words could explain it,
This sacrifice of purity.
The one who sang
And created a world will die
Because of love.
Their tears I can see from a distance
How I long to wipe them away
But the cords that bite are bound so tight
My body cannot escape.
A scream and I am floating, the world disappears
Into nothingness.
Because of love.
The sun rises...
Has it only been one night?
They turn from me, forlorn,
But I have been reborn
A thundrous crack, a burst of light
Their king has now returned.
Once again the world is good
Because of love.
Because of love
A simple choice, nothing more
For those I love, I will become
Weak and powerless,
Helpless and afraid,
Everything I am not.
Because of love.
They won't understand,
No words could explain it,
This sacrifice of purity.
The one who sang
And created a world will die
Because of love.
Their tears I can see from a distance
How I long to wipe them away
But the cords that bite are bound so tight
My body cannot escape.
A scream and I am floating, the world disappears
Into nothingness.
Because of love.
The sun rises...
Has it only been one night?
They turn from me, forlorn,
But I have been reborn
A thundrous crack, a burst of light
Their king has now returned.
Once again the world is good
Because of love.
