(Legend of Zelda) Song of Healing- Original Lyrics

Description

My attempt at writing lyrics to the all-time classic: Majora's Mask's "Song of Healing" . I'm aware that a TON of poeple have written lyrics to this one already, such as :iconcoldflamezero:, and frankly, some of these people's are so good that at some points found myself wondering why I was even trying. But it was a challenging song in a lyrical sense, so I decided to give it a go, and this is the finished product, so I sincerely hope you guys enjoy it. 
The story behind this song...god, I don't know where to begin. The whole piece, both the lyrics and original music, has so much context, and I really just needed to get this out of my system before I start working on my next project. I've been feeling strained and depressed often lately, what with school and such going on, so I just wrote this to make it all feel a little better, so I wish the same for you whenever you're having an off day or something bad has happened. But seriously...just go play MM and then come back to this - I guarantee you'll be able to understand it better that way. 


I do NOT own the Zelda Franchise, including the original score - all rights go to Nintendo. I also did not create this lovely wallpaper, but rather copied it into Pic Collage and tweaked a few things as well as added text (the original belongs to xxroulinxx.deviantart.com/gall…, btw). If you'd like to use these lyrics in anything, you are certainly welcome to! I only ask that you credit me for them and send me a link to your work when you're done - I'd love to see it :)


EDIT: Holy mother of frack, you guys - I cannot BELIEVE how much response this has gotten. In just a little over 24 hours, this thing has surpassed 200 favorites and is on its way to 2,000 views. I just...wow...somebody hand me a tissue, I think I'm gonna cry...
Anyways, feels aside, there's been so much positivity and support that I just haven't been able to get back to all of you, and I apologize for that. But I just wanted to give, from the bottom of my heart, a universal hug to everyone out there that has supported these lyrics so far, and just say thank you.

And special thanks to these vocalists for their kick-ass covers - you can check them all out here:

~Lyrics~
Dawn to dusk
Left to rust
The clock ticks away.
Now when you're longing for
Something sweet as pain...
Let this tune
Mend the wounds
Banish misery...
Battle scars
Of the heart
Now memories.
Tell me why you confide
In half existence?
Shielded by your mask of sorrow and spite?
Loved ones grieve in your leave
Don't keep them waiting...
Uncage my spirit and
Grant me my sight...
