THE AMULET song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

and when she climbed
the broken wall
and saw the ru-
ined city fall

the flames died out
the smoke still rose
no one was left
and no one knows

the sun was hot
the land was bare
and life was not
found anywhere

and on the road
a stranger met
he gave to her
the amulet

the amulet
sapphire and gold
a relic of
the knights of old
protector of
the silhouette
the end of love
the amulet

the sky grew dark
she found a cave
and a few souls
were left to save

they spent the night
in black and fear
and begged to God
to hold them near

and in the morning
once again
she walked the path
without a friend

and many miles
she braved alone
her feet grew hard
from stepping stone

the amulet
she held in hand
or rock and stream
or snow and sand
for years she went
both cold and wet
her heart was spent
the amulet

and finally
came to the sea
high on a cliff
she set it free

she raised the jewel
up to the stars
and broke out of
her prison bars

she threw the charm
out into space
and then she saw
the goddess face

who said "Now you
have understood
the meaning of
both bad and good"

the amulet
was just a guess
to separate
the no from yes
to learn if she
was worth the test
and she succeed
the amulet
