It's said in "Arrow's Flight" that the song "Sun and Shadow" can either make you hold your breath, or bore you to tears. I think this one is the latter. Whereas the one from the album "Sun and Shadow" is the former.
Lyrics: Dirk (as Sunsinger): "What has touched me, reaching deep, piercing my ensorcelled sleep, Darkling lady, do you weep? What is the cause of your grieving?" "Why do tears of balm and bane, bathe my heart in bitter rain? What is this longing, why this pain? What is this spell you are weaving?" Talia (as Shadowdancer): "Sunlight Singer, morning's peer, how I long for what I fear! Not by my will are you here, how I wish I could free you! Gladly in your arms I'd lie, but I dare not come you nigh, For if you touch me I shall die, if I were wise I would flee you. Dirk: "Shadowdancer, dark and fell, lady that I love too well, Won't you free me from the spell, that you have cast around me? Star-eyed maid beyond compare, mist of twilight in your hair, Why must you be so sweet and fair? How is it that you have bound me?" Talia: "In your eyes your soul lies bare, hope is mingled with despair; Sunborn lover, do I dare trust my heart to your keeping? Sunrise means that I must flee, moonrise steals your soul from me; Nothing behind but agony, nothing before us but weeping. Both: "Sun and Shadow, dark and light; child of day, and child of night. Who can set our tale aright? Is there no future but sorrow? Will some power hear our plea, take the curse from you and me, Grant us peace, or set us free? Dare we to hope for tomorrow? Is there no future but sorrow?"
This song is great and pretty catchy. While Talia's voice is a little iffy, Dirk's voice is frigging amazing. Also... Holy crap, you kick it on that harp, Kris! That harp playing was awesome. Talia, go apologize to your boyfriend right now for calling him an "amateur" harp-player!
The god worshipped in Karse is a sun god call Vkandis, the goddess of the Shin'a'in and Hawkbrothers is called Star-Eyed. Hmm. I'm sure it's just a coincidence and has no relation to this song.
*Arbiters Kiss* As much as it can be it is a coincidence. True in Karse V'kandis rules alone , now. That has not always been so. corrupt priests hid his companion. Our gods are always paired, never single. Why that is so...not here, not now. I will not start a row , on this page.

It was also sung by Dirk and Talia, with Kris providing the music, in the same book.
Lyrics:
Dirk (as Sunsinger):
"What has touched me, reaching deep, piercing my ensorcelled sleep,
Darkling lady, do you weep? What is the cause of your grieving?"
"Why do tears of balm and bane, bathe my heart in bitter rain?
What is this longing, why this pain? What is this spell you are weaving?"
Talia (as Shadowdancer):
"Sunlight Singer, morning's peer, how I long for what I fear!
Not by my will are you here, how I wish I could free you!
Gladly in your arms I'd lie, but I dare not come you nigh,
For if you touch me I shall die, if I were wise I would flee you.
Dirk:
"Shadowdancer, dark and fell, lady that I love too well,
Won't you free me from the spell, that you have cast around me?
Star-eyed maid beyond compare, mist of twilight in your hair,
Why must you be so sweet and fair? How is it that you have bound me?"
Talia:
"In your eyes your soul lies bare, hope is mingled with despair;
Sunborn lover, do I dare trust my heart to your keeping?
Sunrise means that I must flee, moonrise steals your soul from me;
Nothing behind but agony, nothing before us but weeping.
Both:
"Sun and Shadow, dark and light; child of day, and child of night.
Who can set our tale aright? Is there no future but sorrow?
Will some power hear our plea, take the curse from you and me,
Grant us peace, or set us free? Dare we to hope for tomorrow?

It is, Sunsinger and Shadow dancer were some of the earliest Heralds, not actual Gods. They have a whole album telling their story.

@@twilightnyteshaed38 I think they where some of the first people chosen by the Companions to be Heralds
The Sun and the Moon are siblings, not lovers
@@juliawolf200 Meetings tells how Sun Singer and Shadow Dancer meet. They are not siblings to hear that song.
god i miss this song
lyrics? please?
this sung by Talia and Kris: book Arrow's Flight
kenshin gensai No, Kris was playing the harp. Dirk was singing with Talia. :)
@@mylady3728you are correct, however it was done both ways! Technically, Talia also sung this with Jadus.
Time zone differences suck.
