My brothers, they're all dead Something surely served to make them ill They carried off towards the stream one day, to gather broth for the meal Though no one heard a word from them, as the horror had soon to be revealed As I ran towards the water, I saw their bodies lifeless lying there Their cheeks were flushed, their eyes were pale, their bodies weak and bare
Tears soon left my eyes as I stared into the dawn I cursed the four Gods of old, why so soon have they gone? As the sun illuminated the water, I could see it glowing bright It's crystal blue essence had evaporated with the night I saw the foul poisons dumped from that structure up above How could such a radiant architecture spew such spiteful sludge? This stream is our life Without it, we will surely die
I spoke to the elders, in the crystal palace high They threw my words over shoulder and considered them to be lies In the days ahead, several scouts were sent off to the stream Yet none of them ever returned, assuring me that this was no dream Magicians and alchemists were called to level off this curse Though their words and potions failed, as the effects kept growing worse
In the days that followed after, my people suffered from the drought Some of them ran into the stream, though never came back out We elves are stubborn people, so we continued to press on Yet I knew deep inside myself, that we hadn't very long
The water will not quench their thirst As they wretch with frozen looks of fear The water will not quench their thirst As our genocide looms ever near The water will not quench their thirst As this majesty slowly disappears
The water will not quench their thirst As the venom falls into the stream The water will not quench their thirst As they gasp and choke in this foul dream The water will not quench their thirst As the Gods were nowhere to be seen
As I writhe here all alone, the last of my kind The stream has taken all of them, yet I fear I'm going blind These last words that I inscribe will surely fade to dust But with my last breath, I'll curse that iron beast The whore that never rusts
