Tearing of the Weave - Alda

Oh we of empty hands…

Oh we children of calamity…

How could we have known

That it would have come to this?

We are overcome in the wake of your passing

Struggling forms sifting

Through shadows, searching

Many are the voices of the dead

The severed kin forgotten

Betrayed, ghost voices among the ashes

Ever calling to us on the wind

An now by those sinew holds the hand

That guides the arrow?

Whose lore to we inherit

The scavengers of dreams?

We tremble in the blackness

In the paling of our marrow

As we fill our throats with earth

In hope the elder voices become our own
