Just Look My Way (Stolas' Lament)

It is expected
An oath by blood to hold the tome
And the starlight passes overhead
Fuels all the skills I've honed

I am a guardian
A watcher of these ancient rites
Yet I find myself drawn from that path
On those dazzling moonlit nights

Let me hold you
Keep you close to me
I long to hear your voice

But dearest
I know better now
I must give you this choice

I can give you everything you need
Or do you want to hear me plead?
Just look my way
Just look my way

Is there something more that I don't know
That you won't say till we've both grown cold?
Just say
Please stay
Look my way

This unspoken contract
A deed we forged for mutual gain
If that's all this was when you're not here
What is this rooted pain?

I don't care that you're of lower station
Or primed to sate my dark temptations
Why can't you understand?
Let me explain

And I'm terrified
As I cry
To make this feelings true

What's left for me and my broken heart
If I cannot have you?

Unless it's me?
And no matter what in this world I could give
Its not enough
To get through the walls you've conjured up to live

Is this what you feel?
Scorned by a realm that cannot comprehend
What you are
So I'll grant you this mercy, this bind on our souls need to end

I will try to make amends
For making you means to an end
So, look my way
Please, look my way

And if there's something more that I don't know?
I'll save us both before we grow cold
If you stay
And just say
Look my way
