The Ballad
Once did we walk as brothers true, As brothers true to walk did we. Our hearts as one, as one we stood, And so we walked in life freely.

By words and deeds all knew us well, In deeds and words they all could see. There were none that felt not our bond, But darkness before light must flee.

My friends, my kin, what took your light? Why can you not tell unto me? Whither now have you gone today? Our empty halls mourn silently.

In your hearts do you remember? Do you hold yet the memory? You fought your fight but stood alone, Bogan does not give for free.

Now brothers fight and brothers die, And to slay kindred now must we. Swords clash against one another, Where once was one, now two or three.

Now hand of Ashla fills the night, Now sword of light in hand must be. Come, friends, let us stand together, This branch must sever from our tree.

With mourning ever do we strike, In striking mourn we he or she. It need not to be as it is, Yet strife begets another key.

Never to them given hatred, Hating naught that they may see. Breath of Ashla, heal their wounded, One day yet they may hear our plea.
