The breeze that warms the meadow is the wind that frosts the peaks;
The light that yields the garden is the heat that chars the trees;
The stream that feeds the prairie is the wave that rears the seas;
The pup that guards the shepherd is the wolf that wears the fleece.
The maid that loves the roses is the Queen that wields the thorn;
The babe that...

It moves as one across the red sands,
Its heart—a drum—o’er broken lands,
Hammering life from rock and heather,
A metal beast of lance and leather.
It shimmers and groans in the dawn light,

Tongues of flame dripping over mountain tops
Webs of light painting the frantic skies

Gather ‘round dear children
As I tell you a tale from long ago
There once was a young boy, destined you die
His death to be brutal and slow
Alas, he escaped his murder’s grip
Who ruled the land back then
And was left in the woods by his mother
Who he never heard from again.
