Karalin's Song Lyrics

When rose the morning free of care

And rode the midday unaware

And evening fell across the land

Like soft raindrops upon the sand

Then was a time beyond compare

And without fear all creatures grazed

While golden light around them blazed

Or even when the moon did rise

To join the stars and light the skies

While all the world its Maker praised

For man Allfather's will embraced

And knew His good was interlaced

With fish and fowl and plant and tree

Each one alike, alive, and free

And all with purpose planned and placed

And though the Twelve were given reign

Over every dale and plain

They shared with man the sober charge

The good of all things to enlarge

That peace enduring might remain

But Malek longed the world to rule

And craved the Mountain as a stool

By which to reach Allfather's throne

To seize it for himself alone

And make the sun into his jewel

And to his cause Andunin swayed

Who promised power all things betrayed

And lost to all both then and now

Was life arrayed around a plow

Replaced by life under a blade

And what it was to know not strife

To live by neither sword nor knife

To know a world without the hate

That rests upon us like a weight

No one can say, these things are life

But how I wish that world to see

To know a life of these things free

And how I hope the promise true

That one day all will be made new

And what was once again shall be
