Five hearts
Bushes rattle
A change in the air
The wind stands still
Five hearts
Oxygen grows heavy
The earth blooms
Open veins crack the sky
Five hearts
A howl alerts
The hero of Hyrule
Prints make haste
Four hearts
Yellow pupils
The earth is theirs
And so is he
Three hearts
A cold touch
Of ash and hatred
Oppresses the lungs
Three hearts
A gentle touch
From warmth and memory
Reminds him to fight
Four hearts
One foot on a stone
One hand on a branch
Seeking salvation
Four hearts
Palms bleed and pour
A blue smile
Signals refugee above
Four hearts
Uphill they march
A restless grip
Sentenced from the start
Three hearts
A failed step
A lost touch
Readies the prey
Two hearts
No ground left to stand
No sword meant to wield
The body sinks
One heart
The tribute of life
Vitality is the currency
For which his soul abides
In gloom he falls
In death he stands
Whispers of a demon
Bring warmth at last
