GOLDEN RING
Music & Lyrics by Heather Alexander

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 would happen to your soul
If you wield that…
Upon your hand-

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…
Its forging fire-

Now you’ved 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-

‘CAUSE 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-
THAT PRECIOUS RING-
