Magica Lyrics

And my soul returned to me
Great bards have sung my memory
And my story reached thee
Alma, your eyes are diamonds in the night
Alma, your heart is running to the light
And say goodbye, and say goodbye to the magic sword
I thank you mighty sorcerer
For the words that saved my mind
I thank you for your guidance,
Your eyes when I was blind
And the story has reached the heavens
And my soul returned to me
Great bards have sung my memory
And my story reached thee
