In a time of forgotten realms and whilom truth Noble kings and valiant men In a land where shades lurked in the dark Where at night tales began to rouse
It was the dawn of the thousand fires When he stepped into the night Swearing to face all dusmay To dare the ancient mights
Enthralled by a flickering glint That allured him to follow To a place where the realms entwine A gate to the other side (adistant light) Faint singing called him to step inside
His eyes strayed aloft Willing to go towards his fate A last look to the sky When he passed the gate
For ever and ay (for a year and a day) A wanderer lost in nowhere Never found a place to dwell Withersoever he fared
Twilight shapes begged him to stay But the glinting stars Drowned all leathe Restless he hied afar
