A song did wail amongst the trees
on high above the glen, where
angels rest and new born cries
ride softly on the wind.

Where crescent moons come there
to rest and lie above the peak, in
wait of that which beckoned them,
those frail and oh so weak.

Where howls the wolf amongst
the pack of fur and haunting eyes,
and maidens wait the oaken door
in want of wanton sighs.

A place of home, a place of rest
that warms the soul and skin,   that
brings to bear the warriors cries in
hopes of but to win....

In hopes of but to win....
