Chorus:
Crystal, silver, blue and gold
Look into the jewel I hold.
Gaze into its depths, my boy,
And I will teach you the starstone’s joy.
Energon rings burning bright,
Sending thoughts to fill the night.
Sending power, heat and light
To a land obscured by night.
You are Comyn, little one,
And your work has just begun.
I’m your Keeper, you will see
You have naught to fear from me.
See this crystal in my hand?
It awaits your mind’s command.
Write upon it silent dreams
Inner visions, thoughts unseen.
Color it in shades of blue
That reflect all sides of you.
Make it tell in living light
All your joy, your grief, delight.
Work with me until you’re sure
Of the gift that’s rightly yours.
Power is the price you pay
For being Comyn-born this day.
Yet, my son, I love you well,
With love far more than words can tell.
I’m your Keeper, you will see
You have naught to fear from me.
